Common Area Cleaning Services for Buildings

Looking for common area cleaning near me? Phes Cleaning provides professional cleaning for lobbies, hallways, stairwells, elevators, fitness centers, and shared spaces in residential buildings throughout Chicago and 75+ suburbs.

Common area cleaning is the service that determines how a building is judged. Residents, owners, prospective tenants, and board members form their impression in the lobby, the elevator, and the hallway outside their own door, long before anything else about the property registers. Phes Cleaning maintains those spaces on a fixed schedule for condominium associations, apartment buildings, and managed properties throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.

A typical scope covers lobbies and vestibules, entry glass and door hardware, hallways and corridors, stairwells, handrails, and landings, elevator cabs, tracks, and control panels, mail and package rooms, laundry rooms, fitness and party rooms, trash and recycling rooms, and shared restrooms where they exist. High touch surfaces get disinfected on every visit. High dusting of light fixtures, vents, and ledges runs on its own periodic cycle rather than being billed on every service, which keeps the recurring cost proportionate.

Frequency is set to the building. Properties with heavy foot traffic are serviced daily or several times weekly. Smaller buildings are usually weekly or twice weekly. Chicago winters change the requirement significantly: salt, slush, and grit tracked through entrances and stairwells need more frequent attention from November through March, and we build that into the schedule instead of leaving your entryway to deteriorate.

We are fully insured and provide a certificate of insurance to your association or management company before the first visit. Every cleaner is a W-2 employee, background checked and trained, and we assign the same crew to your building so they learn its layout and its problem areas. Access and key procedures are documented in writing. Scope is put in writing too, so a board or a manager can see exactly what is covered and how often.

Pricing is based on square footage, scope, and frequency, quoted after a walkthrough of the actual property.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a common area?

Lobbies and vestibules, corridors, stairwells, handrails and landings, elevator cabs and tracks, mail and package rooms, laundry rooms, fitness and party rooms, trash and recycling rooms, and shared restrooms.

How often do common areas need service?

From weekly on a small building up to daily on a high traffic property. Chicago winters change the requirement, and salt, slush, and grit from November through March need a heavier cadence than summer does.

Is high dusting included in every visit?

No, and that is deliberate. High dusting of light fixtures, vents, and ledges runs on its own periodic cycle so the recurring cost stays proportionate to the routine work.

Do you put the scope in writing?

Yes. Scope and frequency are documented in writing so a board or a manager can see exactly what is covered without relying on a conversation.
