NAICS 561790 · Administrative and Support Services · SBA size standard: $9 million average annual receipts

Providers of window cleaning, pressure washing, gutter cleaning, post-construction cleanup and similar one-time or recurring building-maintenance services convert customer requests into scheduled jobs, manage crews and equipment, track supplies, generate permits when needed, produce invoices and maintain safety and inspection records. The specialists turn inbound inquiries into scoped work orders, orders into crew schedules and supply lists, schedules into daily routes, and completed jobs into invoices and reorders while the owner keeps licensing, insurance and safety protocols in their hands.
