UBS is responsible for servicing more than 15 million square feet of office space per day. Our success is built upon solid service and sound relationships that result in steady account retention and word-of-mouth recommendations.

UBS differentiates itself from the competition in the following ways:

A proven track record

UBS was built upon the founding principle that customers deserve top-quality janitorial service at cost-effective rates. That's what we provide, and that's why UBS have established an unsurpassed reputation in the industry. UBS believes that consistent performance on our part is the best way to cultivate long-term relationships with our clients. And we are proud of the fact that many of our customers have continued to rely upon our services from the day we opened our doors.

Outstanding (and ongoing) training


Our employees are experts at their respective tasks. Before starting on the job, every new employee attends a seminar to study proper cleaning techniques and safety issues. Then, the new employee spends the following week training on location under the direct tutelage of an UBS supervisor.

The employee training at UBS really never ends. We hold weekly meetings with supervisors, where we show new training videos and discuss any pertinent issues which may arise.

Motivated employees

The employee turnover rate at UBS is remarkably low for the industry standards because we make a concerted effort to keep morale – and production– at the highest levels. For customers, that translates to consistent service from veteran, knowledgeable employees. We offer our employees a never-ending stream of incentives.

Unparalleled safety

The safety record at UBS is impeccable because our focus on safety permeates throughout our entire workforce. UBS employees a full-time Safety Officer whose sole duty is to ensure the safety of the work environment. The safety manager performs inspections nightly and each UBS building undergoes a thorough safety inspection every three months.

Clearer communication

UBS believes in being accessible to our customers, 24 hours a day. Whenever you call UBS, you will always receive prompt and courtoues service and will we will be prompt in answering any questions you might have. When you have a request UBS staff handle it swiftly. If you have a problem to report, UBS staff immediately create a work order rectifying the situation, then we closely monitor its implementation and contact you the following day to make sure you're satisfied.

UBS also distributes to customers our popular Janitorial Report each morning outlining all the activity in your building the previous night, from special UBS services performed for the tenant or other activity throughout the evening.

Active ownership

UBS Owner/President Robert Hughes remains a driving force in the day-to-day operations of the company. He offers more than 25 years of experience in the industry and has built two janitorial companies to prominence – Commercial Cleaning Systems, which he founded in 1980 and sold after it became the largest independent full-service janitorial company in Orange County; and UBS, which was formed in 1992 and has flourished to become one of Southern California's leading janitorial companies.
