Frantz Building Services

What Frantz Building Services does

Frantz Building Services is a privately held, second-generation, family-owned commercial janitorial and building services contractor founded in 1985 in Owensboro, Kentucky. The company delivers custom-tailored janitorial programs, day porter services, carpet cleaning, hard surface floor restoration, window cleaning, industrial overhead cleaning, pressure washing, and consumables management to mid- and large-size commercial facilities across Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee. Its customer base spans industrial and manufacturing, corporate headquarters, healthcare, education, warehousing, public venues, and churches, with named logo customers including Old National Bank, US Bank, Kimball International, MasterBrand, Berry Global, Toyota Industrial Equipment, Century Aluminum, Fruit of the Loom, Country Music Hall of Fame, Sonoco, and Deaconess. The company reports over 300 employees, 150+ buildings serviced, 5M+ square feet cleaned, and a 60% customer retention rate.

The underlying technology stack is conventional janitorial tooling rather than a proprietary software platform: Unger HydroPower pure water window cleaning systems for exterior windows up to five stories, automatic and ride-on floor scrubbers, rotating floor machines, scissor lifts, combustion-proof tools for industrial overhead cleaning, and electrostatic sprayers for disinfecting. Operational accountability is supported by employee geofencing, cloud-based electronic site reporting with photo documentation, real-time issue tracking, and an independent quality audit function structurally separated from account management. The company holds CIMS certification and BSCAI-aligned manager certifications (CBSE, CSS, RBSM) and maintains organizational memberships in BSCAI, ISSA, and NSA.

Frantz operates a sales-led, field-based enterprise go-to-market: prospective customers request a customized quote via the website, phone, or email, followed by site visits and tailored proposals. Dedicated account managers (e.g., named account coverage for MasterBrand, Kimball, and Old National Bank) and a Director of Business Development run ongoing customer relationships. Revenue is generated primarily through fixed monthly fee janitorial contracts, supplemented by time-and-materials agreements (approximately $26.50/hour) for manufacturing settings and project-based pricing for carpet restoration, floor restoration, window cleaning, and industrial overhead work (e.g., $0.32/sq ft for VCT stripping and waxing). The company is privately held with no external investors, no parent company, and no M&A activity; sole stated strategic priority is organic regional expansion.

Revenue model

1. Fixed Monthly Fee Janitorial Contracts: The most commonly used pricing model in the commercial cleaning industry. Frantz gathers detailed facility information to develop a set monthly fee covering all costs including labor, supervision, equipment, and supplies — excluding consumable products such as toilet tissue and hand towels. The model incentivizes efficiency: the vendor benefits from gains while offering competitive pricing to customers.
2. Time and Materials (T&M) Contracts: An all-inclusive hourly rate billing model where customers are billed monthly for hours worked. Primarily used in manufacturing facilities. Includes all labor, labor-related costs, supplies, equipment, supervision, and markup.
3. Project-Based Services: Separate pricing for services outside base daily cleaning, including carpet restoration, hard surface floor restoration (stripping, waxing, scrubbing, recoating), window cleaning, pressure washing, industrial overhead cleaning, and light fixture cleaning. Priced per square foot, per unit, or via time and materials.
4. Porter Services: Day porter services providing continuous cleaning throughout the day for high-traffic facilities, including immediate response to spills, restocking, and friendly support.
