Why RCO Cleaning is our pick for commercial cleaning in Sterling Heights

Sterling Heights boasts a vast industrial corridor along Van Dyke and Mound Road, with office buildings, medical complexes and retail businesses along Hall Road and near Lakeside. On big floors, the right equipment matters. RCO's own floor scrubber cleans plant, warehouse and lobby floors using fewer chemicals and our teams strip, wax and burnish those hard floors in offices and retail establishments. Each building receives one system of cleaning, managers who inspect the job and owners who work with you directly, whether here in Macomb County or right next door to our office.

• Locally owned, not a franchise

  RCO has been owned by the family that operates it since 2019. There is no franchise headquarters between you and the owners. The people who bid on your building stand behind it.

• The owners work with you

  Vadym and George Makovey are involved in walkthroughs and bids and are a part of setting up each building's cleaning program and auditing the work. You know exactly who you're dealing with.

• A free walkthrough, a quote in 24 hours

  We tour your building (free of charge) so we know every detail that goes into your bid. You get your quote back within 24 hours of your walkthrough.

• A free deep clean to start

  During the first week we bring your building to its best condition at no charge, so it starts out clean. Then the regular routine starts.

• A cleaning system for your building

  After bid approval, we customize your building's system: manpower, timing, equipment and special requirements.

• Managers who check the work

  Our team of managers is constantly double-checking our work. If there is an error, it is remedied promptly and management takes responsibility.

• Trained people, 20+ years in the trade

  Each and every one of our employees is carefully selected and trained. Our crews include people with over 20 years of experience in the industry.

• Our own equipment

  Our floor scrubber, our water-fed window cleaning system with multi-stage filtration, extractors and burnishers. Newer machines allow crews to use fewer chemicals.

• Cleaning 24/7, on your schedule

  RCO works nights, weekends and holidays or during the day with a day porter. We clean whenever it is convenient for your building.

• Flexible plans, priced on your building

  Priced on your cleanable square footage and the work your building needs, with plans to choose from. No one-size price list.

• Every service in-house

  Janitorial, day porters, floors, carpet, windows, post-construction, disinfection and pressure washing. All performed by our own crews.

• About 33 minutes from Sterling Heights

  Our office is in Southfield, 19.1 miles away, with our sister companies RMO (restoration) and RHO (staffing) at the same address.

Locally owned, not a franchise

Many of the larger commercial cleaning companies out there are franchise networks: a nationwide company, with local franchises operated by franchisees. RCO is not one of those companies. RCO is owned by the Makovey family and operated out of our own office located at 18000 W 9 Mile Rd in Southfield. That means the person who bids your building is who you talk to when something is or is not done correctly. There is no franchisee between you and the owners.

That is why we think the quality is higher: the owners have skin in the game for every building we clean. They walk buildings prior to bidding so nothing is overlooked. They help set up the cleaning system for each building, verify the work with the managers and hear about an issue from you, instead of through a report. When the company is theirs, every building's result is theirs as well.

What direct ownership means for your building

• The people who walked your building stay involved after you sign.
• Decisions concerning your building are made locally in Southfield by individuals you know.
• A problem is sent to a decision maker who can correct it quickly.
• The standard is the owners' own, and they check it with the managers.
• One office, three companies: our sister companies, RMO Mitigation & Restoration (water, fire and mold restoration) and RHO Hiring (staffing), work from the same address.
