Building Maintenance Services in Manhattan, NYC

Manhattan properties demand a higher standard. Whether you manage a pre-war residential building on the Upper West Side, a commercial office tower in Midtown, a mixed-use property in Chelsea, or a multifamily walk-up in Washington Heights, keeping your building clean, functional, and well-maintained is non-negotiable. Fresh Start Facility Services delivers professional building maintenance and facility cleaning across all of Manhattan — reliably, on schedule, and at the standard your tenants and owners expect.

We work directly with property managers, building owners, landlords, and real estate management companies throughout Manhattan. Our teams understand the pace and pressure of NYC property management, and we build our services around what you actually need — not what’s easiest for us.

What We Do

Fresh Start offers a comprehensive range of building maintenance and facility services for Manhattan properties:

• Day Porter & Porter Services: Regular, scheduled porter coverage for residential and commercial buildings. Our porters handle lobby cleaning, trash removal, elevator maintenance, hallway sweeping and mopping, and general upkeep — keeping your building presentable every day. We can cover daily, weekly, or custom schedules depending on your building’s needs.
• Facility Cleaning: Deep cleaning for office buildings, retail spaces, medical offices, commercial lobbies, and residential common areas. We work nights, weekends, and around your tenants’ schedules to minimize disruption. Every job is done thoroughly — not just surface-level.
• Eviction Cleanouts & Trash-Outs: When a tenant leaves behind furniture, garbage, or debris, we handle the full cleanout fast. We remove everything, clean the unit top to bottom, and have it ready for your next tenant or for showings. Quick turnaround is our standard.
• Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning: Detailed unit cleaning between tenants — baseboards, kitchen appliances, bathrooms, closets, windows. Every surface cleaned so your unit shows well and your next tenant starts fresh.
• Carpet Cleaning: Professional carpet extraction and shampooing for units, lobbies, hallways, and common areas. We remove embedded dirt, stains, and odors — extending the life of your flooring and keeping your building looking its best.
• Painting Services: Interior painting for unit turnovers, common area refreshes, and full building repaints. Our painters work efficiently to minimize vacancy time. Clean lines, proper prep, professional results.
• Flood Damage & Mold Remediation: Water damage is an emergency. Our team responds quickly to dry out affected areas, remove damaged materials, and remediate mold before it spreads through your building. We also perform ozone and hydroxyl treatments to eliminate lingering odors after smoke, mold, or water events.
• Floor Repair & Refinishing: Hardwood refinishing, tile repair, and vinyl flooring services for units and common areas. Worn floors don’t have to mean a full replacement — our team restores them efficiently and professionally.
• Concierge Services: For residential buildings that need a professional front-of-house presence, our concierge staff provide front-desk support, package handling, and resident assistance — elevating your building’s service level without the cost of full-time staff.

Why Fresh Start?

Manhattan property managers deal with vendors constantly — and most of them are a headache. Wrong bills, no-shows, half-finished work, and endless follow-up calls. Fresh Start was built to be the opposite of that experience.

• We show up: Sounds basic, but it’s everything. Our crews are on time and do what they said they’d do. Your building’s daily operations shouldn’t depend on chasing a vendor.
• We communicate: You’ll know when we’re there, what was done, and if there’s anything you should be aware of. No surprises, no guessing.
• We’re full-service: One call handles multiple problems. Unit needs a cleanout, a paint job, and new carpet after a tenant move-out? We do all three. Fewer vendors means less coordination overhead for your team.
• We know NYC: Manhattan buildings have quirks — tight service elevators, strict building rules, noise restrictions, co-op board requirements. We’ve worked in buildings like yours. We adapt.
• We’re properly insured: We carry the liability coverage required to work in Manhattan residential and commercial buildings. Adding us to your approved vendor list is straightforward.

Fresh Start Facility Services is based in Middle Village, Queens, and serves Manhattan with fast response times across all neighborhoods.
