What Able Service Contractors does

Able Service Contractors, Inc. is a private, Hispanic woman-owned environmental maintenance and custodial services company founded in 1978 and incorporated in the District of Columbia. It provides B2B contract-based cleaning services to medical facilities, large commercial buildings, local government facilities, educational institutions, and places of worship across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, operating under business licenses in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. The company employs 80+ trained staff in the DMV region and supports accounts with multi-year contracts, day porter service, special project work, and on-call commercial labor.

The core service offering is anchored in specialized medical-facility cleaning with an infection control focus, including consultation with infection control committees and JCAHO-compliant practices that have produced 100% inspection ratings and zero-deficiency evaluations. The technical toolkit includes HEPA-filtered equipment certified to 0.03 microns, Green Seal-certified cleaning products, and an electrostatic decontamination service introduced circa 2020 that applies antimicrobial agents reportedly effective against microorganisms (including coronavirus) on surfaces for up to 90 days. The company layers on modular add-ons such as window washing, carpet shampooing, wood floor refinishing, snow removal, trash and recycling, and event room set-ups.

Revenue is generated through custom, quote-based managed-service contracts with recurring billing and multi-year terms. Go-to-market is direct sales-led via the company website, phone outreach, and testimonial-driven credibility, with website forms integrated into Salesforce.com for lead capture. The company has held long-tenured federal accounts, including custodial work at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda since 1981, graduated from the SBA 8(a) Business Development Program in 1992, and claims no contract has been lost due to client dissatisfaction across 35+ years. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, no parent company, and no public revenue figures.
