Commercial property
Your customer's first impression happens three feet inside the door.
We handle the cleaning, the maintenance, and the buildout — with a licensed general contractor directing the work.
In short
Specus Services provides commercial janitorial, preventative building maintenance, make-ready and tenant turnover, and licensed commercial upfit and tenant improvement across Brunswick County and Wilmington. Cleaning and maintenance are sold together, so the crew in your building every week is also watching the building.
The scheduled program
Janitorial and maintenance together, on a written scope at a set frequency. A defined list of tasks you can hold us to.
Janitorial, per visit
Restrooms cleaned, disinfected, and restocked. Trash and recycling collected, liners replaced. Floors vacuumed, spot-mopped, hard floors damp-mopped. Entry glass and door hardware. Break room and appliance exteriors. High-touch surfaces disinfected. Common areas and elevator tracks.
Periodic detail
Interior windows, carpet extraction, hard floor strip and refinish or scrub and recoat, high dusting, vents and diffusers, upholstery, and pressure washing at entries and walkways. Carpet extraction on a cycle set by your traffic level.
Preventative maintenance
Filter changes on schedule, door hardware and closers, plumbing fixtures and flush valves, lamp replacement, exterior caulk and sealant, gutter and drain clearing, and the envelope walked seasonally.
Tenant requests and punch lists
Routed, diagnosed, scoped, and closed out with photos, so you can answer a tenant without making three phone calls first.
Eyes on the building
The crew is in your building every week anyway. They work a short condition list alongside the cleaning scope, so what is starting to fail gets reported instead of cleaned around.
Buildings we work in
Offices and professional suites
Law, accounting, insurance, and professional services. After-hours cleaning, conference and break room turnover, and buildout between tenants.
Medical, dental, and veterinary
Operatory and exam room protocols, waiting and reception, hard surface disinfection, and fit-out sequenced around patient schedules.
Retail and restaurant
Front of house and back of house, restrooms at public volume, hard floor programs, and upfit scheduled around trading hours.
Multi-tenant and flex
Common areas, corridors, restrooms, entries, and turnover between tenants in a building where somebody is always occupied.
HOA and community common areas
Clubhouses, amenity buildings, management offices, pool houses, and the maintenance list that builds up between board meetings.
Make-ready and tenant turnover
Every day between one tenant leaving and the next one signing is a day nobody is paying rent — and most of those days go to coordinating four vendors who each need to be let in. Cleaning, repairs, paint, flooring, and the small construction work handled as one scope, by one company.
Owner's representative
When the work is being done by someone else and you need somebody on your side of the table.
Before you sign
Scope and bid review. Whether the number is right, whether the scope is complete, and what the exclusions actually mean once work starts.
While it is running
Site observation at milestones, pay application review against real progress, and change order review before you approve them.
At the end
Punch list, closeout documents, warranties, and verification that what you paid for is what got built.
What you get
A photo-documented written report after every visit, in a format you can forward to an owner or a board.
Oversight and contracting stay separate. You never pay us to inspect our own work.
Commercial upfit and tenant improvement
We work from your drawings, or we develop the scope with you. We work occupied buildings, after hours, and in phases.
Office and professional suite buildout
Demising walls, finishes, lighting, and the small mechanical and electrical work that comes with a new tenant.
Medical, dental, and veterinary fit-out
Operatories, exam rooms, sterilization, and casework, sequenced around an opening date.
Retail and restaurant upfit
Storefront, front and back of house, and the finishes a brand standard calls for.
ADA and accessibility modification
Restrooms, entries, thresholds, clearances, and signage.
Interior renovation and building repair
Finishes, systems, and envelope work on existing commercial property.
