Tired of Custodial Staffing Gaps? We Have a Solution

You need a commercial cleaning contractor who shows up, fits in alongside your existing team, and takes the pressure off. That’s exactly what we do. Ames works side by side with your union custodians as supplemental support, steps in as an on-call substitute janitor when someone is out, or manages a building on our own when you need full coverage.

Three Types of Cleaning Services:

A school is more than classrooms and hallways. It’s a community where students grow, teachers inspire, and families place their trust. Our school cleaning and custodial staffing solutions are designed to create healthy, welcoming spaces where learning thrives.

We help Pennsylvania districts maintain safe, spotless facilities through dependable supplemental support you can count on, from daily disinfecting to nightly cleanup, cafeteria deep cleaning, and coverage during flu season and staff shortages. We currently serve 24 of Pennsylvania’s 503 school districts, plus secondary campuses including LVC, Etown, PCAD, Kutztown, and HACC.

Your facility is a reflection of your brand, and a clean, well-maintained space supports productivity, customer confidence, and employee satisfaction. As your commercial janitorial company, Ames provides a reliable team of skilled cleaning professionals who help you reduce operational strain, control costs, and keep your workplace running smoothly.

From offices and warehouses to retirement communities and industrial facilities, we build a custom plan around your building, your schedule, and your budget. We focus on the commercial and institutional spaces we know best, so you get consistent quality from a crew that understands your environment.

When your staff doesn’t want to get on ladders, isn’t equipped to perform a particular cleaning or janitorial service, or simply doesn’t have the time or manpower to complete cleaning tasks, we can help.

Window cleaning, vent cleaning, power washing, floor care, carpet and upholstery cleaning, and chandelier and skylight cleaning are just a few examples of the services available to you.

What Are Our Clients Saying?

“Ames cleaned our windows in a very large building and on a very cold and windy day. They look fabulous and we feel more professional when clients visit. The crew was polite and considerate of our employees working around them.”

— Michelle Thompson, Google Review

“It took several years for me to find a reputable company to handle our larger cleaning needs. They took over and suddenly all of the issues I had with similar vendors went away. I can’t say enough about the professionalism and quality of work from the whole crew. Never a complaint. Highly recommended!”

— The Gorgon himself, Google Review

“Palm Lutheran Church needed cleaning help while our Sexton was on vacation. Mark came to the church promptly to learn how we clean and disinfect after services. Amanda came to clean and disinfect right after our Christmas Eve service. She did a fabulous job, was on time, very friendly, and helpful. This company provides a wonderful service.”

Frequently Asked Questions, Answered by Ames’ Commercial Cleaning Experts

Do you only clean schools?

Ames is a commercial cleaning company that serves K-12 districts, secondary campuses, offices, warehouses, retirement communities, and industrial facilities across Pennsylvania. If your building is commercial or institutional and is less than five stories tall, we can build a plan around it.

Are there any types of buildings you don’t clean?

To offer the best, focused commercial cleaning services to our customers, we do not do construction site cleanup or restaurant and retail cleaning, and we don’t enter into third-party contracts.

Will your staff replace our union custodians?

No. Our commercial janitorial cleaning crews supplement your existing team, not replace it. We fill gaps your union cannot hire for fast enough, cover callouts, or manage a building on our own, and if your union can fill the position, we step back. That is how we operate as a commercial janitorial company that works alongside your staff.

How does your pricing compare to hiring our own employees?

You pay for the coverage you need, with no benefits, workers’ comp, or state retirement contributions on your payroll. Our employee stays on our books, so compared to other commercial cleaning contractors, the cost stays predictable and tied to the hours we actually work.
