Company Overview
Advanced began over 30 years ago with a simple mission: to provide dependable, high-quality janitorial services with a personal touch. What started as a small, local operation has grown into a trusted provider of comprehensive facilities services across multiple industries, including retail, healthcare, religious institutions, and commercial facilities.
Over the years, we’ve expanded our capabilities to include facilities maintenance and parking lot care, offering flexible service bundles that meet our clients' evolving needs. As our footprint has grown, so has our commitment to continuous improvement, innovation, and investing in people.
Today, Advanced operates in multiple states, supporting over 1,000 team members and partnering with clients who share our values of integrity, professionalism, and service excellence. Despite our growth, we’ve stayed true to our roots: treating every property like it’s our own and every employee like family.
We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited about where we’re headed.
