Specialty Services
Have a unique building maintenance need?
Some things simply fall outside of your regular janitorial staff’s responsibilities. You likely have areas in your building that require specialty gear or safety certification to access. It’s too risky to send someone to maintain these areas unless they have the right training, experience, and safety protocols. That’s why our team exists – to fill in those gaps safely so you can rest easy, confident you’re protecting your building without taking risks to do so.

Whether it’s for compliance with Boston Facade Inspection Ordinance, or due diligence while acquiring an asset, or for cap ex planning we are here to show you exactly what’s goin on with your building.

PIERCE sent some guys over right away, on a Saturday, to shovel off the roof above our elevator machine room and stop a leak that was causing large volumes of water to get into the elevator equipment and down to the main lobby. It saved us a ton of money in elevator repairs. I really appreciate the response time and PIERCE’S ability to help with random jobs like this one.

We started off using PIERCE Property Services for gutter cleaning and they did such a great job! We’ve had them do caulking, power washing, and window cleaning for us too. Their response is always quick, their work is professionally efficient & the price is always fair.
