Olmstead Maintenance

Cleaning services in Ketchikan, Alaska

We have cleaned buildings in Ketchikan since 1986 — downtown, out the highway, and up on the hill.

Forty years here means we already know most of these buildings. We know which entries flood, which floors have had four different finishes put on them, and which lobbies take the worst of the cruise season foot traffic.

Our crews live here. Weather does not strand them, and a Saturday emergency gets answered by someone already in town.

OF RAIN A YEAR

That is not a talking point. It is a maintenance schedule.

Cleaning a building here on a schedule written for Seattle does not work. We build the interval around the weather, the entry points, and the traffic your building actually gets.

Grit
Rain carries mud and grit from the parking lot to your entryway on every pair of boots. It scratches finish, works into grout, and settles into carpet backing where a vacuum will not reach.
Salt
Winter salt is worse. It is chemically aggressive, it hazes and eats finish, and left through a season it will take a floor down to the substrate.
Moisture
Damp air means carpet stays wet longer and floor finish cures more slowly. A crew that does not plan for dry time leaves you with stains that wick back up.

Walkthroughs are free. We look at the building, the traffic, and the entry points, then put a written scope and a price in front of you.
