Disinfection
To enhance our training related to worker safety and disinfection techniques with a focus on COVID-19, our team is certified through the Building Service Contractors Association International COVID-19 Disinfection and Safety Course. This course has passed rigorous contractor peer review and is approved by the United State Green Building Council. The five sections of the course include:
The Science of Cleaning and Disinfecting
The Basics of Infection Control and COVID-19
Worksite Safety Precautions
Disinfecting Procedures for COVID-19
Communications and Documentation
We have consulted with industrial hygienists to learn about bacteria growth and provide our clients with information on the cleaning frequencies and dwell times required to ensure proper disinfection and safety. We utilize EPA-regulated and CDC-approved products in our disinfection services. The hospital-grade disinfectants we use have been proven effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens including the COVID-19 virus, MRSA, VRE, Pseudomonas, E.coli, HBV, HIV-1, Influenza A, Avian Influenza and Human Coronavirus 229E. Our professional-grade electrostatic sprayers use patented technology to provide an electrical charge to solutions, allowing them to wrap conductive surfaces with an effective and even coverage of disinfection solution. Double-charged particles of the solution envelope all conductive surfaces—shadowed, vertical and underneath.
We are a source for our clients to purchase disinfection supplies and personal protective equipment for their own use including hand sanitizer, wipes, gloves and masks. To place an order, call us at 713.278.1068.
Quality Control
Our quality control program utilizes a real-time tracking system that logs our crews, cleaning, inspections and building usage to provide transparency, accountability and metrics for continuous improvement. An operations manager is assigned to each facility to perform both scheduled and random quality visits to maintain best practices. Detailed reports are generated and reviewed by management quarterly to ensure benchmarks are met specific to each scope of work.

Safety and Training
All of our employees are extensively trained on proper procedures, use of chemicals and PPE. Our safety practices go beyond adhering to OSHA regulations to consider not only the safety of our crews but also of the entire job site.

Building Owners and Managers Association
Building Service Contractors Association International
International Facility Management Association
ISSA: The Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association

World Federation of Building Service Contractors
As leaders in the industry servicing more than 25 million square feet of space, we are constantly implementing the latest trends, technology and best practices. We provide ongoing professional development for our management team and crews to consistently exceed expectations.
Every Maintenance employee is trained on safety and general work procedures to optimize performance. Training includes written, audio-visual and on-the-job components. Our commitment to training and safety is evident in:
Excellent OSHA record
Low workers compensation modifier
Low incident rate with our insurer
Our insurer performs ongoing safety audits to help us constantly strive for improvement in safety practices. We have been a regular recipient of the coveted Building Service Contractors Association International Safety Award.
Our environmentally responsible products, tools and practices also enhance safety. Home Depot Pro ranks Maintenance in the top quartile of all clients relative to sustainable spending with 63% of all Maintenance, Inc. purchases being certified by a third party green certifying body.
While we have always been committed to providing environmentally safe products and the most innovative equipment to our cleaning crews, since the emergence of COVID-19, we are also making sure every employee properly wears the correct PPE.
