Your leaders are too valuable to spend their day managing a cleaning vendor.
Operations leaders across manufacturing and distribution rely on McLemore to run the floor so their production teams can focus on production, not custodial emergencies.

Every cleaning failure charges your production team by the hour.
The line items on your janitorial invoice do not include the cost of managing the vendor. They do not account for the supervisor who spent an hour covering for a no-show. They do not track the three hours of scramble before an unannounced customer audit. And they have nothing to say about the safety incident that started with a wet floor and ended with paperwork, an investigation, and a conversation with your VP.
Operations leaders in manufacturing and distribution pay that cost every week. Most have never put a number on it.
We call it the Production Distraction Tax. Eliminating it is the only thing we are here to do.
What we hear from many of the operations leaders we speak to:
"Every day is a staffing problem."
"The service starts strong and falls apart at six months."
"I need partners that remove work, not create work."
"Every contractor says the same thing."
We are not a janitorial vendor. We are an operational reliability partner.
McLemore Building Maintenance has operated in industrial facilities since 1970. Our workforce consists of W-2 employees trained for manufacturing and distribution environments, not staffing-agency temps reassigned from their last job.
We carry a 0.8 Total Recordable Incident Rate. The industry average is 2.51. That number reflects what happens when safety training is integrated into onboarding, shift briefings, and site reviews as a standard part of the program.
When we take on a facility, we assign a dedicated salaried manager, supported by working supervisors on every shift. There is always someone accountable on the floor, not a regional manager reviewing reports from another city.
Industrial Experience
Operating in manufacturing and distribution facilities since 1970.
W-2 Workforce
Direct employees with consistent training and built-in accountability.
Safety-First Execution
0.8 TRIR. Safety protocols are built into every shift, not added after an incident.
On-Site Management
Dedicated onsite salaried managers plus working supervisors on every shift. Accountability starts at the top and runs through every hour of service.
Built for the people responsible when things go wrong.
McLemore works with operational leaders who need a facility program that runs without being managed.
Full-Service industrial facility programs, built around your production schedule.
Every scope is custom-built for the facility. We do not sell packages. We build programs around your shift structure, compliance requirements, and operational priorities.
Industrial Janitorial Services
Daily and recurring cleaning of production areas, machine zones, aisles, and common areas, scheduled to align with your shifts and production requirements.
Floor Care
Sweeping, mopping, scrubbing, and floor maintenance for industrial-grade surfaces. High-traffic zones addressed on a documented schedule.
Restroom Sanitation
High-frequency sanitation with consistent protocols. Stocked, clean, and documented. One less thing for your supervisors to think about.
Locker Rooms & Common Areas
Cafeterias, locker rooms, and common areas maintained to the same standard as your production floor. Morale is an operational variable.
Safety-Aligned Custodial Services
Spill response, aisle clearance, machine area maintenance, and janitorial protocols tied directly to your EHS requirements.
AVAILABLE FOR QUALIFYING FACILITIES
Autonomous Floor Scrubbing
For facilities with the right footprint and layout, autonomous floor scrubbing machines extend coverage,
improve consistency, and free floor technicians for detail work that machines can't do.
WHY IT WORKS
What makes McLemore different from every other contractor
Most vendors use the same pitch. The difference shows up at month six. Here is what actually produces consistency in an industrial environment.
W-2 Employees
Our workforce is direct-hired, trained in-house, and accountable to McLemore. No temporary labor, no 1099 workers, and no co-employment risk exposure.
On-Site Leadership
Every account has dedicated onsite salaried management plus supervisors on each shift. The program runs well because someone is always accountable.
Industrial Safety Training
Lockout/tagout awareness, chemical handling, PPE protocols, and industrial environment orientation built into onboarding and training.
Zone-Level Documentation
Task completion tracked by zone, not by shift summary. If a zone gets missed, we know before you do, before a walkthrough reveals it.
We have heard the hesitation before
These are the conversations we have with most companies before they become clients.
"We already have a vendor"
Most of our clients said the same thing. The question is not whether you have someone. The question is whether your supervisors are still managing them, whether service has slipped from what it was at the start, and whether you are comfortable with the audit exposure you are carrying. If you are, there is no reason to switch. If you're not, let's talk.
"Every contractor says the same thing."
You're right. We don't ask you to take our word for it. We ask you to review our TRIR, speak with our existing clients, and ask your current vendor the same questions you would ask us. If the answers are equivalent, we haven't earned your business yet. If they're not, you already know what to do.
"We handle cleaning with our own staff."
In-house cleaning programs carry costs that rarely appear on a single line item: workers’ comp exposure from cleaning tasks, equipment maintenance, supply management, supervision time, and the opportunity cost of using trained production employees on work that doesn't require their skills. We can put together a comparison that shows you what you're actually spending.
"I can’t justify the cost to my leadership."
We build proposals around outcomes your leadership already cares about: audit readiness, TRIR, production uptime, and labor efficiency. The question isn't whether professional facility services cost money. The question is whether the current program costs less. We can help you build that case.
Stop managing the cleaning vendor. Let us handle it.
Tell us about your facility, and we will put together a custom scope and proposal. No generic pricing, no pressure. Just a conversation about whether we're the right fit.
