Modular Concepts provides apartment building cleaning services across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island from our Marlborough headquarters. The program covers the common areas residents share: lobbies, hallways, stairwells, elevators, laundry rooms, mail rooms, and trash rooms. Crews work around quiet hours and stay out of occupied apartments. Service runs month to month, and there is no long-term contract.




Apartment building cleaning covers the common areas: the lobby, hallways, stairwells, elevators, and the shared rooms residents use every day. The owner or the association pays for those spaces, so Modular writes them on one scope. The apartment behind each door stays with the resident.
Shared rooms work harder than their size suggests. One laundry room, one mail room, and a trash room on each floor serve every household. Amenity rooms and the leasing office sit on their own line, because their hours change through the year.
Each visit ends with a sign-off the property manager can read the next morning. A condominium board can use the same page to report on common area cleaning.
| Part of the property | What it covers | How it is handled |
|---|---|---|
| Common areas | Lobby, hallways, stairwells, elevators, mail room, laundry rooms, and trash rooms | The base program, every scheduled visit |
| Amenity rooms and leasing office | Fitness room, club room, and leasing office, on set days | Their own line, changed with 30 days notice |
| Periodic work | Carpet extraction, hard floor care, and pressure washing | Each project quoted on its own |
| Apartments | Occupied units, move-out cleans, and unit turnovers | Not offered. They stay with the resident or the owner's turnover vendor |

Apartment buildings are different to clean because people live there, and someone is home at every hour. An office empties at six. A hallway of apartments fills up at six. Vacuums and floor machines run in the daytime window the community sets.
Weekends are the heavy days. Move-ins fill the elevator with boxes and scuff the hall corners. Package rooms back up, and trash rooms fill fast. The Monday visit is written as a reset for the lobby, the elevator cab, and every trash room.
Winter comes in through the front door. Salt and sand ride in on boots, cross the lobby, and reach the first-floor hall carpet. Entry mats and a mop pass on every visit protect the floor finish.
Residents notice who is in their building. The same assigned crew returns, and everyone placed on site is background-checked. Crews do not enter apartments or handle resident packages.

Property managers and boards pick Modular for three reasons: month-to-month service, a familiar crew, and a scope that stops at the apartment door.
Scope changes with 30 days notice when occupancy, amenity hours, or the management company changes. Customers stay about eight years on average, and no contract holds them.
Modular carries $2,000,000 in general liability through Northeast Insurance and workers' compensation through Travelers, and is fully bonded. Each certificate names the owner or the association and its manager.
Everyone placed on site is background-checked. The same assigned crew returns, and a supervisor inspects on a schedule.
Common areas, amenity rooms, and project work sit on separate lines. Apartments are off the page. When a resident asks who cleans the trash room, the written scope answers.
The Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office has certified Modular. That helps housing owners and managers that spend state funds meet vendor rules.
Crews are Green Seal trained, and green cleaning is available on request. Low-odor products keep a freshly mopped hallway from smelling like a supply closet.
Each add-on is its own line on the quote, with its own service page.
A busy community needs attention between scheduled visits. A day porter looks after the entry glass and lobby, checks the laundry and trash rooms, and resets the fitness and club rooms. Hours follow leasing tours and the busiest parts of the day.

Hall carpet wears in lanes: at the elevator, at the stair door, and down the middle of the corridor. Hot-water extraction lifts tracked-in soil and winter salt from those lanes, and low-moisture cleaning maintains the rest. The work runs in the daytime, one section at a time, so a dry path to every door stays open.

The lobby floor takes every boot in the building, and the laundry room floor takes drips and detergent. VCT, vinyl, and tile are scrubbed and burnished on a set rotation. That work is part of a floor care program covering 750,000+ square feet a year, carpet cleaning included. Hard surfaces only: wood refinishing and concrete polishing are not offered.

A leasing tour starts on the sidewalk. Pressure washing clears winter salt and sand from entry walks and steps, and the buildup on trash enclosure pads. The work is scheduled with the manager and quoted on its own.

From the first walk to the first seasonal change, in five steps.
Front door, mail room, elevator, a sample hallway, the laundry room, and every trash room. About an hour with the manager or a board member.
Common areas, amenity rooms, and project work go on separate lines. Quiet hours are written beside them.
The crew gets fobs for common doors only, never for apartments. The certificate names the owner or the association.
The assigned crew starts. Each visit closes with a sign-off, and a supervisor inspects on a schedule.
Amenity rooms open and close, and salt season comes around. Scope changes with 30 days notice and no new contract.
Apartment building cleaning services are priced per community after a walkthrough, not from a posted rate card. Modular Concepts quotes the common areas as the base program, month to month, across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Three things set the monthly number: which areas are in scope, how often each is cleaned, and what each visit includes.
About an hour with the property manager or a board member. The walk follows a resident's path from the front door to the trash room.
The common areas form the base. The count of buildings, floors, stairwells, and trash rooms sets the time.
Each area gets its own number of visits a week. Lobbies, elevators, and trash rooms run most often, and porter time is priced by the hour.
Each room gets its own task list. A lobby has the longest one. An upper hallway is a vacuum pass, spot cleaning, and the trash room.
Each area, its frequency, and its task list become a line. Common areas, amenity rooms, porter hours, and project work stay apart.
Steps advance on their own. Tap a hex to hold it.
If another company cleans the community now, bring its task list. Modular quotes the same areas, so the two compare line by line.
Modular Concepts cleans the common areas of rental and condominium communities across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Apartment complex cleaning follows the layout: the number of entries, stairs, and shared rooms the residents use.
One lobby, one or two elevators, and a hallway on every floor. The lobby, elevator cabs, and trash rooms run most often, and upper hallways follow on set days.
Several low buildings, each with its own entry and stair, plus a clubhouse or laundry building. The crew runs one route, and the count of entries and stairs sets the time.
The association owns the lobby, the halls, and the shared rooms, and the owners keep their units. The board or its management company gets one scope and one invoice.
Apartments over shops, with a separate residential entry. Modular cleans the residential lobby, halls, stairs, and trash room, and the shops keep their own vendor.
The clubhouse is the center of the community, and many residents are home during the day. Clubhouse rooms sit on their own line, set to the activity calendar.
Lounges, study rooms, laundry rooms, and hallways take heavy use during the term. Deep floor and carpet work waits for a break, and student rooms stay with the residents.
Occupied apartments, move-out cleans, and unit turnovers are outside this program. They stay with the resident or the owner's turnover vendor. Pools and the grounds stay with the community's own vendors, and ground-floor shops keep theirs. A ground-floor restaurant can book licensed kitchen hood cleaning separately. Dust from a lobby or amenity room remodel is a separate post-construction cleaning project.
Modular Concepts has no review from an apartment community to show yet. These two Google reviews are from property customers, quoted as written. Ask for a property manager reference when you schedule your walkthrough.
“I retained Modular Cleaning for a one time thorough, deep cleaning of a property getting ready to be sold. They were quite professional, and gave me a very accurate and detailed estimate. The cleaning was completed right on schedule, and was of outstanding quality.”
“I am very fortunate to have Modular Cleaning take care of all aspects of building cleaning at 2 of my locations. The Main Campus is a 65,000 square foot residential and school environment.”

Apartment building cleaning services include the common areas of the property: lobbies, hallways, stairwells, elevator cabs, mail rooms, laundry rooms, and trash rooms. Fitness rooms, club rooms, and the leasing office sit on their own line. Carpet extraction, floor care, and pressure washing are quoted as projects. Occupied apartments are not included.
No, Modular does not clean inside apartments, and it does not offer move-out cleans or unit turnovers. An occupied unit stays with the resident. A vacant unit stays with the owner's turnover vendor. Crews work only in the common areas named on the written scope, and they carry fobs for common doors only.
Modular keeps cleaning from disturbing residents by writing the community's quiet hours into the scope. Hallway vacuuming and floor machines run in the daytime window you set. Carpet and floor work is done in sections, so a dry path to every door stays open. Strip and wax is scheduled with the manager, so residents get notice.
Apartment building cleaning services are priced per community after a free walkthrough, not from a rate card. The monthly number comes from three things: the areas, how often each is cleaned, and the task list per visit. The count of buildings, floors, stairwells, and trash rooms matters most. Service is month to month.
Yes, Modular provides condo cleaning services for the common areas an association owns: the lobby, hallways, stairwells, elevators, and trash rooms. The board or its management company gets one written scope and one monthly invoice. Individual units stay with their owners. Service is month to month, so a new board inherits no long-term contract.
Modular cleans the trash rooms and the chute rooms on the base program. Crews sweep and mop the floors, wipe the chute doors, and take loose bagged trash to the dumpster area. The chute itself, the compactor, and the hauling stay with the property's waste vendor. Bulk items left behind are reported to the manager on the visit sign-off.
Yes, the certificate of insurance for each address names the owner or the association and its management company. Modular carries $2,000,000 in general liability through Northeast Insurance and workers' compensation through Travelers, and is fully bonded. A portfolio gets one certificate per address, and a copy is available on request.
Yes, Modular cleans apartment buildings in all three states: Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Crews route from the Marlborough headquarters to the Hartford and Providence markets. Each community gets its own written scope and its own certificate. A management company with communities in more than one state keeps one Modular contact.
Apartment owners and managers often hold these properties too. Each has its own program.
