With relentless hard work and persistence, they now are both American Citizens and have built one of Tampa Bay area’s leading “Home Grown” custodial service companys. Certified by both Tampa and Hillsborough county as MBE and SLBE, General Facility Care has been able to nearly double in size everty year over the last four years. Starting seven (7) years ago as a subcontractor and labor service provider to the area’s larger contract custodial firms, GFC has now outgrown many of the firms it originally serviced. With additional certifications from GBOA and ISSA’s Green Certification, General Facility Care has been able to add clients like Honeywell, United Airlines and recently a $5.5 million service contract with The Tampa Convention Center. Our team is made up of seasoned industry professionals that have built and run national companies together with local professionals that left competing firms to join us. Many of us where previously competitors. We are now united as a unique team to build a company unlike any other... We treat our staff like clients and as a result, have virtually no turn over and deliver unsurpassed service results. While we pay our staff higher rates than other area companies, our low overhead, unemployment and workmens compensation rates allow us to remain extremely competitive. Our experience and funding enable us to tackle any size project and meet any set aside requirements at the same time. “The American Dream is Real... General Facility Care is Proof ”. We are not interested in becoming a large national company... We just want to be the best that the Bay Area and Florida has to offer.
