Custodial Services for Schools and Large Facilities
Keep your facility constantly clean with our 24/7 Custodial Service Team. If your property has steady traffic through restrooms, break areas, common areas, and offices, our Custodial Services are built for you. Instead of a single nightly visit, a custodial program puts a trained team inside your building to maintain it continuously, so the space hold its standard though the busiest day rather than only first thing in the morning.
Daily, Evening, and Ongoing Custodial Support
Large and high-traffic facilities can't wait until the end of the day to be cleaned. Custodial services put a trained team on-site to maintain your building continuously‚ resetting restrooms, clearing common areas, and staying ahead of the wear that heavy foot traffic creates, rather than catching up on it overnight. Your local Assett team builds the program around how your facility actually operates, so coverage matches your hours, your busiest zones, and the standard your staff and visitors expect.
Because a custodial program lives inside your building day after day, the details matter. Here's what's included:
Up To 24/7 Coverage
The cleaning in your facility doesn’t have to stop and restart the next day. Your Assett Custodial Team can be present 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
On-Demand Special Requests
Need something cleaned off-schedule or outside your original service scope? No problem. As long as our team is trained and equipped for it, consider it done.
Customized Training Program
Your team receives our professional training and your facility's safety training, plus a training program built specifically for your site so staffing transitions stay smooth.
On-Site Account Management
Your custodial program includes a full-time dedicated account manager who coordinates with the on-site team, Assett management, and your designated facility staff.
Multi-Daily Cleaning Frequency
Restrooms, break rooms, and other high-use areas can be cleaned as many times per day as needed‚ typically up to three, though we can build around whatever your facility requires.
Uniformed Custodial Staff
Every custodial team member wears the professional Assett vest by default, and uniform adjustments can be requested to match your facility's standards.
Who Custodial Services Are Built For
Custodial programs make the most sense where a nightly clean simply can't keep pace with how hard the building is used. That typically means schools and university campuses, hospitals and large healthcare facilities, government buildings, corporate campuses, manufacturing and distribution sites, and large multi-tenant properties. In these environments, restrooms and common areas can cycle through hundreds or thousands of people in a day, floors take constant abuse, and a single missed area is visible immediately. A custodial team living inside the building‚ with a defined scope, a dedicated account manager, and the authority to handle off-schedule requests‚ is what keeps those facilities at standard rather than perpetually catching up. If your facility's needs are lighter or fit a set nightly routine, a janitorial program may be the better starting point, and we're happy to help you decide which fits.
Floor Care and Scheduled Deep Cleaning
A custodial program is more than day-to-day maintenance‚ it takes ownership of the condition of the building over time. That means layering periodic project work into the routine: floor-care cycles such as stripping, waxing, and buffing hard floors, deep cleaning of high-use areas, and scheduled resets timed to breaks, closures, or slow periods so they don't disrupt operations. In a school, that might mean a full floor refinish over summer break; in a corporate campus, a rotating deep-clean schedule that keeps every zone from falling behind. Your local team maps these cycles alongside the daily work so nothing is left to chance, and for larger project needs, custodial programs pair naturally with our specialty services.
Onboarding and Smooth Transitions
Switching custodial providers‚ or standing up a program for the first time‚ is where a lot of facilities lose time. We build a training program specific to your site, so your standards, safety requirements, and problem areas are documented and taught rather than picked up piecemeal. A dedicated account manager oversees the transition, and because the program is built around your facility rather than a generic template, staffing changes don't reset the standard. The goal is continuity: the building stays at the level your staff and visitors expect, even as people rotate through the on-site team.
Accountability You Can See
The difference between a custodial program that holds up and one that slips is accountability. Every task is tied to instruction and verification, and your full-time account manager is the single point of contact coordinating the on-site team, Assett management, and your facility staff. That structure means issues get raised and resolved quickly, off-schedule requests get handled, and you always know who is responsible for the standard in your building rather than chasing a call center.
Scaling Across a Campus
Many of the facilities that need custodial support aren't a single building‚ they're a campus: multiple structures, shared grounds, and different use patterns from one building to the next. A classroom block, an administrative building, and an athletics facility each have their own rhythm, yet they need to hold to one consistent standard. We build the program to cover that whole footprint under a single point of accountability, so the account manager coordinating your service sees the campus as one operation rather than a set of disconnected jobs. That structure keeps standards even across every building and makes it simple to adjust coverage as one area gets busier than another.

Differences Between Custodial and Janitorial Services
Custodial and janitorial services are often used interchangeably, but they describe different scopes of work. Janitorial services focus on routine, recurring cleaning tasks — emptying trash, wiping surfaces, cleaning restrooms, and maintaining general cleanliness throughout a facility on a scheduled basis. Custodial services encompass a broader operational role: not just cleaning, but the ongoing upkeep and care of a facility's physical environment.
Where a janitorial crew executes a cleaning checklist, a custodial team takes ownership of the facility itself. That includes floor-care programs such as stripping, waxing, and buffing hard floors, deep cleaning of high-use areas, and preserving the overall condition of the space over time. Custodial work is less about completing a nightly routine and more about maintaining long-term cleanliness and functionality.
The distinction matters most in larger or more complex facilities — corporate campuses, government buildings, schools, and multi-use properties — where daily cleaning alone is not enough to hold the standard. These environments need a custodial approach that accounts for scheduled deep cleaning, floor maintenance cycles, and proactive upkeep rather than reactive cleaning. For periodic project work like floor refinishing and carpet extraction, custodial programs pair naturally with our specialty services.
Assett builds custodial programs built around the specific demands of your facility. Your local team works with you to set the right mix of daily maintenance and periodic deep cleaning to keep your space operating at the standard your staff and visitors expect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our commercial cleaning services and processes.
Which industries do you clean?
We clean a wide variety of industries.
What's the difference between custodial and janitorial service?
Janitorial is scheduled, routine cleaning. Custodial is a broader, often on-site role covering continuous upkeep, floor-care programs, and long-term facility maintenance‚ a better fit for large or high-traffic buildings.
Can you provide on-site staff during the day?
Yes. Custodial coverage can run up to 24/7, with a dedicated on-site team and a full-time account manager.
How often can high-use areas be cleaned?
As often as your facility needs‚ commonly up to three times a day for restrooms and break rooms, with flexibility beyond that.
Do you handle floor refinishing and deep cleaning too?
Yes. Floor-care cycles such as stripping, waxing, and buffing, along with scheduled deep cleaning, are built into the program‚ often timed to breaks or closures so they don't disrupt operations.
How do you keep the standard consistent when staff change?
A training program built for your specific site, plus a dedicated account manager overseeing the on-site team, keeps your standards documented and taught rather than lost during staffing transitions.
How much does a custodial program cost?
There's no flat rate‚ pricing is built around your facility's size, the coverage hours you need, and how many times a day high-use areas are cleaned rather than a fixed package. We'll assess your facility and provide a no-obligation quote, so you're only paying for the scope you actually need.
