Daily cleaning for a 250,000 sq ft distribution hub near the Port of Houston
Challenge
Averitt's Houston Service Center is built for volume. The 250,000 sq ft facility moves freight around the clock through 59 dock doors, with 80 trailer parking spaces and multi-tenant operations running under 24/7 security.
A facility at this pace needs a janitorial partner who works on a fixed schedule, stays out of the way of active freight, and keeps both the warehouse and the front-office areas to the same standard. Missed visits or inconsistent service, create problems that surface fast in a distribution environment.
Approach
M&R built the service schedule around Averitt's operations. Mondays and Fridays, twice a week, with each session running roughly six hours.
That cadence covers the recurring needs without interrupting freight flow. Office areas, warehouse floors, and shared spaces get attention on every visit. High-traffic flooring receives an annual deep treatment, stripping and waxing, to keep surfaces protected through year-round use.
Solution
The scope at Averitt's Houston Service Center includes:
- Twice-weekly cleaning sessions, Mondays and Fridays, roughly six hours per visit
- Warehouse cleaning across 250,000 sq ft of enclosed cargo space
- Office cleaning for administrative and front-of-house areas
- Annual floor stripping and waxing for indoor office and high-traffic warehouse zones
- Consistent crew familiar with facility layout and security protocols
Results
What’s next
The partnership with Averitt continues into year five. The twice-weekly schedule stays consistent, and the annual floor care cycle stays on the calendar for high-traffic indoor zones.
For Averitt, the consistency is the point. One partner handling the schedule, one point of contact who picks up the phone.
