Mr. Shedrice Banks became Corvus of Denver’s very first Franchise Owner when the market opened its doors in 2009. The standout Franchisee and his wife, Mrs. Shaquana Banks, played an integral role in getting the Denver market up and running, and they continue to be treasured members of the Corvus community.

While Mr. Banks boasts many excellent qualities, it is his ambition that elevates him. The first few years following Denver’s opening consisted of many late nights and early mornings, but Mr. Banks always rose to the occasion. He could be depended upon to show up with a positive attitude and ready to work hard. This determination enabled Mr. Banks and Mrs. Banks to turn their commercial cleaning franchise into a full-time, scalable business. In 2010 Mr. Banks left his other job to partner with Corvus full time, and he has not looked back since.

The vast experience and industry knowledge Mr. Banks has derived from working in the commercial cleaning business for over a decade sets him apart. “He knows how to clean efficiently and in the rare occurrence that one of his customers has a complaint, it is fixed immediately. He does not lose business. He communicates well and just does everything right” says Corvus of Denver Regional Director, Mr. Michael Kerby. This is why he regularly refers to Mr. Banks as an exemplary Franchisee when speaking with potential Franchise Owners.

Over the last several years, Mr. Banks has proved to be just as good a friend to Corvus as he is a business partner. He cares deeply about his Corvus Franchise, which in turn, translates into caring about everyone around him. Mr. Banks has fostered both personal and professional relationships with many Corvus employees throughout his partnership. He texts back and forth with Corvus employees about basketball- one of his greatest passions- and never misses the opportunity to wish them a happy birthday.

Thank you, Mr. Shedrice Banks, for all that you do for Corvus! We are so grateful for your partnership and look forward to watching your continued success.

Corvus of Jacksonville had the good fortune of welcoming Franchise Owner Bryan Williams to the team in April of 2018. For nearly three years now, Mr. Williams has continuously proven himself to be a valuable partner to the Jacksonville market and the Corvus Community at large.

While Mr. Williams possesses several excellent qualities, it is his positive attitude that elevates him. “Bryan can make any customer happy…he is absolutely dependable,” says Corvus of Jacksonville Regional Director, Mr. Spencer Sandell. Customers can count on Mr. Williams to show up optimistic and enthusiastic about the job, and this consistency empowers him to foster meaningful, professional relationships.

This standout Franchisee treats his customer accounts with the utmost respect and professionalism. Mr. Williams makes an effort to learn what customers expect from their cleaning provider and works hard to exceed their expectations. He holds his cleaning business to a very high standard, and providing the highest level of customer service is the top priority.

Mr. Williams exemplifies what it means to be a team player. The Regional Director recounts fondly on the time Mr. Williams was the helper of a former Franchise Owner. This Franchisee eventually walked away from his business, and when he did, Mr. Williams took over his accounts without hesitation. With determination like this, it is no surprise that he has never lost a customer account!

Thank you, Mr. Williams, for all that you do! Corvus would not and could not exist without hardworking and determined Franchisees like yourself. We are all so grateful for your partnership and look forward to watching your continued success.

Corvus of Northwest Arkansas sure got lucky when Mrs. Maribel Cruz opened the doors to her franchise in 2015. Her dedication and determination were clear from the start, and she continuously proves herself to be a valuable member of the Corvus community.

While we have been lucky enough to call Mrs. Cruz a partner for over five years, she has been in the janitorial business since 2008, and her experience shows. Mrs. Cruz recognizes that customers are paying to outsource their cleaning and, therefore, expect high-quality work.

Providing the best possible cleaning service is Mrs. Cruz’s top priority. She holds her business to a very high standard and spends countless hours perfecting her craft. When interacting with customer accounts, Mrs. Cruz acts with the utmost professionalism.

“She understands that the janitorial business is a marathon, not a sprint,” says Corvus of Northwest Arkansas Regional Director Mr. Justin Simmering. This mindset, in addition to a strong work ethic, has enabled Mrs. Cruz to turn her Corvus Franchise into a scalable, full-time business.

To date, she has twelve employees whom she manages daily. Mrs. Cruz holds herself, as a leader, to the same high standards she holds her business to. While she believes each employee represents her entire body of work, Mrs. Cruz acknowledges that they are only as good as the training they receive.

When Mrs. Cruz is not running a successful cleaning business, you will likely find her spending time with family, cooking delicious meals, or attending church. Thank you, Mrs. Cruz, for all that you do. Kind, smart, and hardworking Franchisees like yourself are what makes Corvus the company it is today.

Ms. Marcia Byrd, a Corvus Franchisee in Chicago, had quite the start to her business.

Ms. Byrd started off motivated and determined to begin servicing customers – and growing her business – right away. A large part of Ms. Byrd’s achievements come from being a true team player. She realizes that a reliable and hard-working crew will help her Franchise flourish. A few of her family members have joined her business, and with their support, she now services four customer accounts – an impressive accomplishment given the short amount of time.

Not only does Ms. Byrd consistently provide high-quality services, but she also focuses on building long-lasting relationships with her customers. Ms. Byrds’ communication and networking skills have empowered her to create a solid foundation for her business.

Ms. Byrd has spread the word about Corvus’ franchise opportunities to several members in her community. Since beginning her business, Ms. Byrd has referred three additional Franchise Owners to Corvus. (P.S. – referring other Franchisees is a great way to add a bonus to your income!) Her enthusiasm and excitement show, and because of it, she has paved the way for others to succeed.

The Corvus Team would not and could not exist without hardworking and passionate Franchisees like Ms. Byrd. Thank you, Ms. Byrd, for all that you do! The Corvus community is grateful for your partnership and looks forward to growing together.

Corvus Janitorial Systems Commercial Cleaning Customer Reviews

Reviews from Corvus Janitorial Customers:

Corvus of Charlotte:

“We started working with Corvus in July 2015 and to date, have had a great experience with them. They had some local management changes a couple of years ago and that went well with no change in service (which can happen!). When we ask for something, the response is quick and efficient. We had a COVID-19 potential exposure in our office and they were able to come out the next day and do a thorough sanitizing of our office suite. All of their folks have been great but Jodean climbs to the top of the list – she is there for us! We thank you, Corvus!”

Corvus of Chicago:

“Corvus has been servicing our Elk Grove facility for over a year and we are pleased with the quality of service and their communication. Regular visits from a local Manager are a welcome addition and provide a platform for us to submit specific feedback regarding the scheduled service, special requests and explore additional services that we may require.”

Corvus of Cincinnati:

“Very detail oriented. I requested specific things. The first time the crew came they missed something. I made a phone call to Christine one time and they went above and beyond my expectations. Fantastic crew!!!”

Corvus of Columbus:

“It takes the hard work out of finding good help. Great communication, excellent value and good people to work with.”

Corvus of Denver:

“This company has been great to work with. They went above and beyond when we needed them the most during COVID. Michael and his team are very responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend them for your cleaning and sanitizing needs.”

Corvus of Indianapolis:

“Corvus has been a phenomenal resource for my business! The team is responsive, timely and professional. Their team of professionals check in consistently to make sure that the work performed is up to standard. Highly recommended!”

Corvus of Jacksonville:

“I have worked in child care for years, never satisfied with any of our janitorial companies until now. Charles is amazing at what he does and very responsive. They provide a log book for daily communication and quarterly evaluations, asking us what they can improve on. Spencer, the supervisor, is very easy to speak with and always checking in. Not only do they provide great cleaning services, they are now offering electrostatic disinfecting – which we did today in our classrooms. I am very satisfied with Corvus services and would recommend them to anyone!”

Corvus of Lexington:

“The company I work for has used Corvus for a number of years and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the team on the ground to management, we were taken care of on every aspect. If there was ever a question or an extra request, the team was always accommodating.”

Corvus of Little Rock:

“Top notch service. Shayna and Jennifer are great. You can count on them to always follow up to ensure that you are pleased with the service. Had a couple of “emergency” cleans come up over the last couple of years and they have always gone out of their way to cover my poor planning and made me come out looking like a star when visitors arrived.. Would recommend to anyone. A+++”

Corvus of Louisville:

“So glad to know David Villafana and Corvus! They use green products, well trained employees, and methodical cleaning.”

Corvus of Nashville:

“Switched over to Corvus at our site several months ago. Their service and attention to detail has been great. 10/10 would recommend.”

Corvus of New Orleans:

“Corvus has provided us excellent services in day to day general cleaning and floor care for nearly 10 years. Any issues are addressed immediately and handled with urgency and customer satisfaction in mind.”

Corvus of Northwest Arkansas:

“Corvus Janitorial provides excellent service! It is hard to find a cleaning company that is honest, professional, AND does a good job! I would highly recommend Corvus Janitorial for anyone needing a top notch cleaning company for their business, small or large.”

Corvus of Orlando:

“Corvus does a great job! John and Vivian are super professional and provide outstanding service! Our office is always in great condition, they are very easy to communicate with and to get in touch with when needed. We highly recommend using Corvus to any business!”

Corvus of Raleigh-Durham:

“I’ve had my franchise for almost 3 years now and I really can’t complain about anything that has happened within. Everything and everyone is straightforward and willing to help. Plenty of opportunity to grow your franchise. The main thing I like is how easy it is to contact the partners at the office or corporate and how knowledgeable they are when it comes to different types of problems that may occur! Thank You!!!”

Corvus of St. Louis:

“Zion Lutheran School has been with Corvus since 2000. I love the communication we have with Corvus. They are so responsive to our cleaning needs at school. It is nice to have cleaning issues taken care of, and not have to deal with that during a busy school year. Corvus has been a great partner in our school growth.”

5 Ways Owning A Commercial Cleaning Company Helps Your Community

by

In challenging and isolating times, discovering opportunities to connect with others is especially meaningful. Owning your own commercial cleaning company allows you to positively impact your community, and Corvus Janitorial’s dedicated Franchise Owners have found several ways to do just that. Here is how:

1. Deliver an Essential Service

Recent times have proven just how important and valuable commercial cleaning companies are. Just like grocery store employees, nurses, doctors, and first responders, these Franchise Owners are essential workers doing their jobs to keep our communities safe. The services they provide allow individuals to live freely, without the need to worry about their space being unclean or unsanitary. They truly care for the workplaces, businesses, schools, and members of the community that they serve.

2. Provide Expertise

Now more than ever, cleaning matters. There are many factors to consider when cleaning and disinfecting that are oftentimes overlooked. Do you think about dwell time when cleaning? Or if the products you use are even effective? Corvus Franchise Owners are experts in their field, and with that comes a much deeper understanding of what should be done to best protect their customers.

3. Contribute to the Economy

Commercial cleaning companies are a major, contributing factor to the wellbeing of local economies. Unemployment rates are higher than usual due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but clean and safe facilities help make it possible for people to go back to work. Without Franchise Owners’ hard work and dedication to public safety, local businesses would struggle to reopen and operate under clean and safe conditions.

4. Job Creation

Many Corvus Janitorial Franchise Owners have taken on several customer accounts and turned their Franchise into a scalable, full-time business. When this is the case, he or she may hire additional employees to fulfill their scope of responsibilities. In a time where so many people are burdened by unemployment, creating jobs for others has an immensely positive impact on the community.

5. Build Relationships in the Community

Commercial cleaning Franchise Owners serve a large variety of industries where they communicate, educate, inform, and assist their clients along the way. In doing so, they build trust within their community and create meaningful and valuable connections. By doing their jobs to meet the cleaning needs of others, a true partnership is created between Franchise Owners and customers.
