Otter Property Services
Commercial property care for buildings across the SCV
One vendor keeps your offices, retail, apartments, or HOA clean inside and out, cared for on a schedule, and documented with a photo report every visit. Interior and exterior cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and vendor coordination, all under one point of contact.
Care plans
Three levels of property care
Every plan runs off a written scope and ends each visit with a photo report. Start where the property is now and move up when it makes sense. The exact price comes from a walkthrough.

The product
The monthly photo report is the point
A cleaning company sends a crew and disappears. Property care leaves you with a record.
Every visit ends with a photo condition report you can forward straight to an owner or a board. It shows what was done, what we noticed, and anything that needs attention, so the property is handled without anyone driving out to check. For a property manager running several sites, that report is the difference between hoping it got done and knowing it did.
Every report shows
- What was cleaned and cared for that visit
- Before and after photos of the work
- Anything we noticed that needs attention
- Consumables restocked or running low
- Items flagged for a licensed trade, with photos
- Time and date stamped for your records
For property managers
One vendor, one invoice, one report
Most managers are juggling a cleaner, a window company, a pressure washing crew, and whoever they can find for the odd jobs. That is four vendors, four schedules, and no record. We consolidate it.
One point of contact
One number for the whole property instead of chasing four vendors who each blame the others.
One consistent standard
The same crew on your property, running the same written scope every visit.
A record for owners
Photo reports you forward to owners and boards, so your management looks buttoned up.
Coverage across sites
Run several properties on one account with the same reporting on each.
Small issues caught early
We flag what we see before it becomes an expensive surprise for the owner.
No markup on referrals
When licensed work is needed, we hand you a vetted, licensed contractor with no referral markup.
Apartments and HOAs: start with the dryer vents
Clogged dryer vents are a leading cause of building fires and a common insurance flag, and most complexes are behind on them. It is the fastest way to lower a real liability, and it is a natural door-opener into full common-area property care. Cleaning only, we never alter the vent.
Common area property care for apartments and HOAs
- Lobbies, hallways, stairwells, and elevators
- Breezeways, laundry rooms, and mail areas
- Clubhouses, gyms, and shared restrooms
- Trash enclosure cleaning and sanitizing
- Exterior care: entries, walkways, and building washing
- Dryer vent cleaning scheduled across units
- Photo report to the board or manager every visit
What it costs
Typical monthly ranges
Property care is priced after a walkthrough, because square footage, frequency, and scope vary too much to quote sight unseen. These are the ranges most properties land in.
| Property type | Typical monthly range |
|---|---|
| Small office or medical suite | $350 to $650 |
| Retail, gym, restaurant, or daycare | $600 to $1,400 |
| Apartment complex or HOA | $1,200 to $3,500 |
Your walkthrough sets the exact number and the written scope. Ranges shift with size, how often we visit, and how much exterior care the property needs.
Vendor coordination
When something needs a licensed trade
We are a property care company, not a licensed trade. That line matters, and we hold it clearly.
When a property needs licensed work, we identify it, document it in your report with photos, and can coordinate a vetted, licensed contractor that you hire and pay directly. We do not perform, bid, or subcontract that work. Our job is to keep the property cared for, catch issues early, and make the hand-off to a licensed professional simple, with no referral markup.

We identify it, document it in your report, and can coordinate a vetted, licensed contractor that you hire and pay directly. We do not perform, bid, or subcontract that work.
Do you clean after business hours?
Yes. Most offices, retail, and medical suites are serviced in the evening or early morning so the crew is out before staff and customers arrive. We work around your access and alarm requirements.
Do you handle apartment complexes and HOAs?
Yes. Common areas, breezeways, laundry and mail rooms, trash enclosures, and dryer vent cleaning on a recurring schedule, with one point of contact for the board or property manager.
