COMPANY PHILOSOPHY

In order to better acquaint you with our service, it is important for you to understand our company philosophy. Superior customer service is our number one corporate concern. Service excellence is not a revolutionary idea and it is certainly not a sophisticated concept. It is however, the only way to succeed in business today.

Service is more important than ever before because of competition. Customers don’t have to and won't put up with mediocre service. They will go across town or even across the country, if need be, for service that matches their expectations and needs.



What is the success formula for CJ Maintenance? It is attention to the minor detail, the little things, the infinitesimal but important points that the competition just doesn’t want to take the time, money, or effort to complete.

Just like the old proverb says, “It’s the straw that broke the camel’s back.” This is especially true in business. We at CJM know that the small things, the little daily task, make or break a business relationship.

Armed with this knowledge and empowered by the practice of Total Quality Management, CJM is a driving force in the facility and janitorial services industry. 
​
MISSION STATEMENT

"Our goal is to excel as the top choice for facility services in commercial, educational, healthcare, and government sectors nationwide, delivering exceptional service that leaves all our customers completely satisfied."


VISION STATEMENT


"We strive to enhance the well-being of our clients, their employees, and facility occupants by ensuring consistently clean working environments, employing the safest and most efficient cleaning solutions. Moreover, we prioritize the safety and development of our employees, offering them improved working conditions, avenues for career progression, and ongoing training in cutting-edge equipment and technologies."
