What JANCOA does

JANCOA Janitorial Services Inc. is a privately held, family- and women-owned commercial cleaning services company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, founded in 1972 by Tony Miller. The company provides recurring nightly and daily janitorial services to Class A office buildings (typically 50,000+ SF) and medical office buildings (typically 30,000+ SF) in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky market, supplementing these contracts with project-based specialty work including commercial carpet cleaning, post-construction cleaning, hard surface floor restoration, and commercial upholstery cleaning. JANCOA holds the CIMS-GB with Honors certification from ISSA, the only company in Cincinnati to carry that distinction, and additionally maintains WBENC women-owned business and BBB accreditations; its service delivery relies on direct W-2 employees (not subcontractors) using EPA-certified green chemistries, HEPA-filtered vacuums, microfiber technology, and portable cleaning equipment, with HIPAA-compliant protocols in medical environments.

The business model is primarily subscription-based, with monthly recurring contracts priced on a quote basis keyed to facility square footage and service scope, complemented by one-time and periodic specialty cleaning projects. JANCOA employs a direct enterprise field sales motion targeting property managers, facility managers, and building owners, supported by a content-led digital presence (The Janitorial Journal blog), active social channels, and a robust earned-media profile anchored by multi-decade industry and community awards. With over 500 full-time employees cleaning approximately 17 million sq ft of commercial and 3 million sq ft of medical office space nightly, JANCOA is the largest janitorial provider in its home market, with long-tenured anchor relationships such as a ~20-year partnership with global CRE firm Cushman & Wakefield, which named JANCOA its 2024 Cincinnati Vendor Partner of the Year. The company has remained independently owned across multiple generations of the founding Miller and Bard families, with no external private equity, venture capital, or institutional investor involvement disclosed.
