## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-22 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The honest framing first
> 
> "Commercial cleaning" nationally is mostly **franchise networks** - Jan-Pro, Anago, Jani-King, Office Pride, Buildingstars. When you sign with one, you're hiring a local franchisee. The brand buys you vetting, insurance, a standardized scope-of-work, and someone to call when the crew doesn't show - *not* consistent quality. Quality varies enormously by regional master franchise. So the ranking below is really "who to put on your bid list by office size."
> 
> **The one filter that matters more than brand:** ask for **ISSA CIMS** (or CIMS-GB) certification, proof of workers' comp + general liability, and the names of two offices in your building class/size you can call. That screens harder than any brand name.
> 
> ## Who I'd actually name
> 
> **1. Two or three local/regional independent BSCs (building service contractors)**
> Genuinely my first recommendation for a single office under ~50,000 sq ft. The owner answers the phone, the crew is their own W-2 employees rather than a subcontracted franchise, and you'll usually beat franchise pricing by 10-20%. Find them by asking your property manager who cleans the other tenants, and by asking neighbors in your building w
