Printable checklist
Shared space residents judge every day
Vallejo’s housing stock runs from garden-style complexes off the main corridors to mid-rise apartment buildings near the downtown core, townhome and condominium associations up in the hills, and units stacked above ground-floor shops. All of these properties have hallways, amenities and entries that no single household looks after, and residents spot a slipping standard there before anywhere else.
Vallejo Janitorial takes responsibility for that shared ground: the front office, the amenities, the circulation spaces and the outdoor areas between buildings. The route is written for your property, whether it has one elevator lobby or a dozen separate stair cores.
Leasing office and clubhouse
Prospects tour the leasing office before they see anything else, so it opens the route. Desks, the welcome counter and brochure stands are dusted, entry glass and display screens are polished, the coffee bar is wiped and refilled, and carpet is vacuumed in clean, even lines. Office restrooms get a full clean and a restock.
The clubhouse comes next. Lounge furniture is vacuumed and its hard surfaces wiped, the community kitchen’s counters, sink and appliance fronts are cleaned, the business center’s keyboards and printers are dusted, and a fitness room, where there is one, has its grips, benches and mirrors cleaned on each visit. A resident party or a board meeting can be followed by a short reset visit the next morning.
Hallways, stairs, elevators and mail areas
Carpet in the interior corridors gets a full-length vacuum pass, and the edges along the baseboards, where lint gathers, are detailed by hand. Stair treads are cleared and handrails wiped top to bottom, landings are checked for flyers and litter, and inside each elevator, the panels, call buttons and the grooved sill that catches grit are cleaned. Fire doors and their kick plates are wiped clear of scuffs.
Mailrooms and parcel rooms see constant traffic and constant cardboard. Crews break down and remove abandoned boxes, wipe the mailbox fronts and package lockers, and clear the counters residents use to open deliveries. Shared laundry rooms get their machine tops, folding tables, sinks and floors cleaned, with lint swept from behind and between the units.
Pools, restrooms and outdoor amenities
Pool restrooms and changing rooms take on sand, sunscreen and wet footprints all summer. They are scrubbed, disinfected and restocked, and the deck furniture and gate hardware are wiped as part of the same stop. During pool season, extra weekend visits keep these rooms ready for the busiest days.
Outside, breezeways and covered walks are swept, cobwebs are brushed from light fixtures and ceilings, and dog stations and trash enclosures are tidied. Walkways, stairs and the trash enclosure can be washed down on a schedule by our pressure washing crew, and parking structures join the plan through garage cleaning.
Working with the manager or the board
A managed community has an on-site or portfolio manager who decides what the route covers; a self-managed HOA has a volunteer board that might gather monthly. In both cases you have one contact for changes, and a supervisor completes quality inspections and shares what was found. Vallejo Janitorial carries insurance, workers’ compensation and a bond, so the paperwork a board keeps on its vendors is simple to complete.
Every crew member who walks your halls has been background-checked. Where common areas need attention through the day, such as a busy lobby or a mailroom on delivery days, a day porter fills the hours between full visits.
Visit timing around residents
Common areas are cleaned in daylight hours, after the morning commute has thinned out and before residents come home in the evening. Vacuuming and machine work stay out of early morning and late night, and corridors are cleaned one floor or building at a time so that residents always have a clear path.
On a larger community the route can be split across two or three days a week, putting the clubhouse and leasing office on your busiest tour days. Seasonal work, such as carpet extraction in the hallways, is booked into the quietest weeks of the calendar.
Sizing the route for your property
A common-area plan is shaped by how many buildings and stair cores the property has, its amenities, the length of the corridors, how often the pool and clubhouse are open, and whether you add day porter hours or periodic pressure washing.
A site tour with your manager or a board member lets us count those rooms and write a weekly route, with seasonal and periodic work listed as their own lines.
A few useful answers
Common questions.
Do you work with self-managed HOAs as well as management companies?
Yes. A volunteer board gets the same written task list, inspection follow-up and single point of contact as a management company does.
Can our association get proof of insurance for its vendor file?
Yes. We send a certificate of insurance made out to the association or to its management company, whichever your records call for.
When will crews be in the hallways?
Hallway cleaning happens during the day, after the morning commute and before the evening rush home, and noisy work is kept out of early morning and late night.
Do the pool restrooms get more attention while the pool is open?
Yes. Weekend visits for the pool restrooms and changing rooms can be added for swim season and dropped once the pool closes for the year.
Do you clear out the boxes left in the package room?
Yes. Abandoned cardboard is broken down and hauled to the recycling enclosure, and the counters, lockers and mailbox fronts are wiped on each visit.
