Questions buyers actually ask
The things that come up on a first call, answered straight.
What types of commercial properties do you clean?
Office buildings, medical and dental practices, schools and educational facilities, retail stores, industrial and warehouse facilities, and restaurants and hospitality venues. Gold Coast Building Services is a commercial contractor — we do not clean private homes.
What areas do you serve?
Suffolk County and Nassau County first. Gold Coast Building Services is based at 223 Wall Street in Huntington, New York, and most of our work is within about half an hour of that office — Melville, Hauppauge, Commack, Smithtown, Northport, Deer Park and the surrounding towns. We work west into Nassau regularly, and take on commercial buildings in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Westchester County.
Do you provide after-hours cleaning?
Yes, and for most commercial buildings it is the default. Offices are typically cleaned in the evening or overnight so the space is ready in the morning and nobody works around us. Retail is cleaned before opening or after closing, and medical practices are worked around the appointment schedule.
Can cleaning be scheduled around our business hours?
Yes. We set the schedule to how the building actually runs rather than to a standard shift. If your practice runs late on Thursdays or your warehouse ships on Saturdays, the schedule accommodates that. Where a job genuinely cannot be done outside your operating hours, we will say so before you contract rather than after.
How do commercial cleaning estimates work?
We walk the building with you, agree what is in scope and how often each area needs attention, and put a written price against it. The walkthrough is free and carries no obligation. Pricing depends on the areas covered, the frequency and the floor types involved — which is why we walk the space rather than quote from square footage alone.
What is included in recurring janitorial service?
A recurring programme is built from the areas your building actually uses — typically offices and workstations, restrooms, kitchens and break rooms, common areas and entrances, and trash and recycling removal. Periodic work such as carpet extraction, floor stripping and waxing, and window cleaning is scheduled on a longer cycle alongside it.
Do you handle one-time and post-construction cleaning?
Yes. Post-construction cleaning after a commercial fit-out or renovation, move-in and move-out cleaning for tenant turnover, and one-time deep cleans are all available without a recurring contract.
Do you clean medical and dental practices?
Yes. We clean medical and dental practices, clinics and outpatient offices across Suffolk and Nassau County, worked around the appointment schedule with a fixed touch-point list. Regulated medical waste is not part of our scope and stays with your licensed waste contractor.
Are you licensed and insured?
Ask us for our current certificate of insurance and we will provide it before any work starts. Any commercial cleaning contractor should be willing to produce one without hesitation, and you should not sign with one who is not.
Who will actually be in our building?
Gold Coast Building Services is owner-operated. Robert Goldrick answers the phone and attends the walkthrough himself, and buildings are worked by consistent crews rather than a rotating pool. Access arrangements, keys and alarm codes are agreed in writing before the first shift.
