Commercial cleaning across Greater Chicagoland

From active jobsite to ready-to-use space

Post-Construction Cleaning

Construction cleaning requires sequencing, communication and a different level of detail than routine janitorial work. Cortex coordinates rough, final and touch-up cleaning around the project schedule so the finished space is ready for inspection and occupancy.
