CELEBRATING 17 CORPORATE ANNIVERSARY YEARS UNITED BUILDING MAINTENANCE LEADERSHIP FROM THE FRONT LINE A company so successful that it is able to invest money into retaining the best employees rather than into any sales efforts is rare. A company whose leadership starts with its frontline employees rather than management is also uncommon. United Building Maintenance, headquartered in Roseville, is that unique company in the janitorial industry. CEO Valerie Sherman launched United in 2003, and now celebrates 17 years in business with nearly 300 employees offering fullservice commercial maintenance, including janitorial, window washing, pressure cleaning, floor restoration and more. “Our success and growth come from satisfied clients and word of mouth,” Sherman confirms. United saw $1 million in sales in its first year and is now a multimillion-dollar company. “For clients, we are a quiet army caring for their businesses. Our frontline janitors are empowered and trained to lead, and are looking out for the best interest of every client’s buildings. It’s not just about getting a job done, but monitoring the well-being of that business whenever they’re present.” One of those clients is McClellan Park. “United is honored to be part of McClellan Business Park,” says Sherman. “We have done business for the last 10 years from construction clean ups for tenant improvements to servicing multiple locations for janitorial on a monthly basis. We continue to be grateful as an approved vender for McClellan Park and look forward to the next 10 years plus.” “United Building Maintenance is an extremely valuable vendor to the McClellan Business Park team,” confirms Wanda Thompson, Vice President of Property Management at McClellan Park. “United has been professional yet flexible as our tenants’ work environments continue to change and evolve.” Sherman, who worked her way up starting 40 years ago cleaning toilets, has ensured her employees are invested in their work through profit sharing and promotion from within. “I profit share with the management team every quarter, and with the whole company, including frontline janitors, annually. Ninety percent of my management team have been frontline janitors who worked their way up.” Join United’s growing list of clients and share in the confidence of an empowered workforce, knowing they’re the best at what they do and are invested in success for all. “United Building Maintenance is an extremely valuable vendor to the McClellan Business Park team. United has been professional yet flexible as our tenants’ work environments continue to change and evolve.” — WANDA THOMPSON Vice President of Property Management McClellan Park 8211 Sierra College Blvd. Ste. 420 Roseville, CA 95661 916.772.8101 SPONSORED PROFILE www.UnitedFullService.com September 2020 | comstocksmag.com 69
