Cleaning and emergencies for the Farbman Group

We work with the Farbman Group, the property management company, and have done a lot of work for them. Together with our sister company, RCO Cleaning, we provide their cleaning as well as emergency services, including for their new headquarters building in Farmington Hills.

For a property manager, that means one call covers the routine and the unexpected: the cleaning crew that knows the buildings, and the restoration crew that arrives when a pipe bursts.
