Day porter cleaning that keeps your building presentable all day.

Day porter services, done right.

A busy building gets messy fast. Footprints in the lobby, a restroom out of paper towels, a full breakroom bin. Small things, but they shape how tenants and visitors see your property.

A Dominion day porter follows a set route through your building, handling those things before anyone complains: restroom checks and restocking, trash runs, entrance glass and elevators, spill response and common-area touch-ups.

You choose the hours and the areas; we staff it, supervise it and keep it consistent.

Choosing day porter hours.

Start with the hours your building is hardest on itself. In most offices that means arrivals from about 8 to 10 a.m., the lunch rush and the late-afternoon exit. A peak-hours porter covers those windows and skips the quiet stretches. Full-day coverage makes sense when the lobby never really empties, as in a downtown San Jose tower or a busy medical building.

Count the complaints, too. If tenants report empty dispensers by 11 a.m., you need more restroom passes, not more hours. If the lobby looks tired by 3 p.m., extend the shift into the afternoon. The walkthrough turns those patterns into a schedule you can read at a glance.

What does a day porter cost?

Day porter coverage is billed by the porter-hour, and most buildings across our service area land between $31 and $47 an hour on 2026 figures from published market data. Carson City and Reno routes sit below that band, with simple posts starting near $28. Mountain View and Peninsula campuses sit at the top, where multi-building routes with heavy lobby traffic reach $57.

The monthly number is hours times rate. Put one porter in a San Francisco office tower from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on weekdays, with a half-hour break, and you buy 40 hours a week, or about 173 hours a month. At $42 that comes to roughly $7,280. Trim the post to a split shift that covers the 8 to 10 a.m. arrivals and the noon-to-2 lunch peak, and the hours, and the bill, drop by half.

Early starts and Saturday posts cost more than a mid-morning shift. The day porter pricing guide breaks the rates down city by city.
