Day Porter Services

A porter on site during business hours keeping restrooms, lobbies and common areas presentable while the building is full — the work that cannot wait for the night crew.

What's included

  • Restrooms checked and restocked on a set round through the day
  • Lobby, entry glass and elevator cabs kept presentable during peak hours
  • Breakroom and pantry resets after the lunch rush
  • Conference rooms turned between meetings
  • Spills, trash overflows and weather tracking dealt with as they happen
  • Trash and recycling taken to the compactor mid-day so it never backs up

How it's priced

Priced by hours on site rather than square footage — a four-hour mid-day porter and a full eight-hour shift are different products. Quoted as a flat monthly rate.

We don't publish package prices, because a price set without seeing the space is either padded or about to be revised. We scope it — on site, or from a floor plan and photos — and send one flat rate with the specification attached.

Questions

How is this different from the nightly cleaning?

Nightly cleaning resets the building after everyone leaves. A porter keeps it presentable while everyone is in it. Most Class A buildings need both — the night crew for the deep work, the porter so the lobby at 2pm looks like the lobby at 8am.

Is it the same person every day?

Yes, that is the point. A porter learns the building, the tenants and the trouble spots, and a rotating stranger never does. We assign a named porter and a named backup for their days off.

What hours?

Whatever the building needs. The common ones are a mid-day 11am–3pm round covering the lunch peak, and a full 7am–3pm shift where the lobby has to be staffed. We scope it to your traffic, not to a standard block.

Where do you provide day porter coverage?

Across the DMV — Northern Virginia, Washington DC and the Maryland suburbs. Our office is in Fairfax and crews are routed by area, so the closest available crew takes the job rather than one dispatched across the region.

How do I get a price?

Priced by hours on site rather than square footage — a four-hour mid-day porter and a full eight-hour shift are different products. Quoted as a flat monthly rate. Tell us the space and how often you need it and we send one flat written quote, usually within 48 hours. No packages and no phone estimates.
