Services
What services does BrightCore offer?
We provide commercial cleaning and janitorial service, office, medical office, retail, restaurant and food truck cleaning, commercial floor care, carpet steam cleaning, interior and exterior window cleaning (interior-only for homes), post-construction cleaning, vacant home and short-term rental turnovers, move-in/move-out cleaning, plus restocking and vendor sourcing and coordination.
Do you clean medical and dental offices?
Yes. We clean medical and dental offices, including exam and treatment rooms, waiting areas, restrooms and high-touch surfaces, following the protocols your practice sets. We don't handle regulated medical waste.
Do you clean TurboChef and other specialty ovens?
Yes. We clean specialized kitchen equipment such as TurboChef ovens following the manufacturer's cleaning procedure. Hood and exhaust-duct cleaning is coordinated through a certified vendor.
Do you clean food trucks?
Yes. We clean food truck kitchens, including stainless surfaces, prep areas, floors and equipment exteriors, scheduled around your service days.
What types of floors do you clean?
We clean common commercial hard floors, including LVP, tile, VCT and sealed concrete, and recommend the right approach for your flooring. Carpet is cleaned with hot-water extraction or shampooing.
What's the difference between steam cleaning and shampooing?
Hot-water extraction (steam cleaning) flushes carpet with hot water and extracts it with strong suction. Shampooing works a cleaning solution into heavily soiled carpet first. We use one or both depending on the carpet's condition.
Do you clean high-rise windows?
No. We clean windows that can be safely reached from the ground or with standard ladders. For high-rise glass we can coordinate a specialist vendor.
Do you clean exterior windows on homes and rentals?
Residential window cleaning is interior-only. Exterior residential windows, especially those with screens, need different equipment and processes, so we can coordinate that work through another vendor if you request it.
What is included in post-construction cleaning?
We clean in three phases (rough, final and touch-up): removing construction dust and debris and cleaning surfaces, fixtures, interior windows, cabinets and floors so the space is ready for use. Bulk debris hauling isn't included.
Do you handle Airbnb and short-term rental turnovers?
Yes. We clean Airbnb and short-term rentals between guests, including a full cleaning and staging reset, linen changes, amenity checks and restocking. Before-and-after photos are available if you opt in.
Do you clean vacant units between tenants?
Yes. We do make-ready cleaning for vacant apartments, suites and commercial units, plus optional refresh visits while the unit is on the market.
Can you restock restroom and breakroom supplies?
Yes. Restocking can be part of your plan, covering paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, sanitizer, trash liners and breakroom consumables. Send requests anytime through the client portal.
Areas & scheduling
What areas does BrightCore serve?
We serve Charlotte, Concord, Harrisburg, Matthews, Huntersville, Kannapolis, Pineville, Mint Hill, Monroe, Mooresville and Gastonia, North Carolina, plus nearby communities around Charlotte.
When is BrightCore available?
Scheduling is flexible, including after-hours and weekend service, so cleaning happens when it works best for your business.
Can you clean after our business hours?
Yes. Most commercial cleaning is done after hours or on weekends so we don't disrupt your staff, customers or daily operations.
How often can you clean?
As often as your building needs: daily, several times a week, weekly or on a custom rotation. We recommend a frequency after the walkthrough.
How often should a Charlotte office be professionally cleaned?
It depends on headcount and traffic. Busy offices usually need cleaning three to five nights a week; smaller suites often do well with one or two visits. We recommend a schedule after the walkthrough.
Can you clean before our store opens?
Yes. We schedule retail cleaning before opening or after close so the store is ready for customers.
How long does carpet take to dry?
Usually a few hours, depending on the carpet, airflow and humidity. We schedule after hours so it can dry before your space reopens.
Quotes, accounts & the portal
Can you handle unit turns for a property management company?
Yes. Property management companies can request turns for multiple units from one company account, with each manager seeing their own properties in the client portal.
Can a property management company have one account for several managers?
Yes. A company has one main account and one service agreement, and each property manager gets their own sub-account with their own properties, quotes, schedules, invoices and messages.
How do quotes and walkthroughs work?
Request a quote online with a few details and photos for a preliminary estimate, or book a free walkthrough. We then send a scope of work and quote you can review and sign online.
What can I do in the client portal?
Request and approve quotes, review and sign contracts and statements of work, request scheduling for approved services (BrightCore confirms each visit), see upcoming visits, ask for before-and-after photos, message the team, request restocking or vendor help, and pay invoices online.
How do I get started with BrightCore?
Call (704) 291-2702, email info@brightcorebuildingservices.com, or request a quote online with your property type, approximate size, cleaning frequency and preferred start date.
Photos, checklists & insurance
Is BrightCore insured?
Yes. BrightCore is insured, and our trained teams work under that coverage.
Do you send before-and-after photos?
Only if you'd like them. Photos are optional: clients who opt in see before-and-after photos in the client portal after our team reviews them.
Do I get a cleaning checklist?
Yes. Every plan has an electronic checklist your crew works from. If you'd like a printed copy, just ask.
Do you offer eco-friendly cleaning products?
Yes. Eco-friendly cleaning products are available on request.
Vendor coordination
What does vendor coordination include?
When you need a service outside BrightCore's direct scope, we research potential providers, obtain availability or estimates when you authorize it, and help coordinate introductions and scheduling. You approve the vendor in your client portal.
Who is responsible for the vendor's work?
Third-party work is performed under the selected vendor's own qualifications, pricing, scheduling, insurance, warranties and service agreement, unless BrightCore expressly agrees otherwise in writing.
