Read moreCaryll Schultz, Billing AdministratorI wanted to pass on to you that the gentleman working to remove rust from beneath the walkway is doing a fantastic job. It is a labor intensive project and he seems to be very well qualified for the job. His past experience was evident when we spoke this afternoon with the architect who came by to check on progress. They discussed the need for sandblasting before prime and paint, and your worker was very well versed in the different techniques. I feel lucky to have him working on the walkway. In spite of the rain, the crew has worked most all day today. Thank you.
Jessica Julich, Senior Event Manager / Media BuyerThank you! Your crew did an outstanding job at Taste of Leawood. Very professional, hardworking, and made sure everything was taken care of. I look forward to working with you again in the future.
Mark McClellan, Facilities and Printing Maintenance ManagerWe have a great relationship with City Wide – there is no comparison to the other companies we have used in the past. They adapted very well to a food safe environment and are great about getting things done in a timely matter. Their people have been very good to work with; when we have special needs they are quick to get quotes and get the work done. We are very happy with City Wide.
Jon Doughty, Community DirectorCity Wide does everything I need and I love it! If my facility needs attention, I reach out to my City Wide contact to see if it is something they can help with, and I haven’t been told ‘no’ yet. It’s refreshing and a time-saver to have one contact who can manage so many services for me.
Timothy Smith, Maintenance Sr. ManagerSince City Wide took over our building maintenance, we’ve noticed positive changes. The cleanliness of the building has improved, staffing has been much more consistent, and communication with our team is greatly enhanced. It is very apparent that City Wide is committed to provide the highest level of service possible at every level. Their management team is truly engaged with their teams in the field and in touch with all the challenges and obstacles at our facility. They are flexible and quick to react to the needs of our facility as they arise and change. They have exceeded our expectations, and it is truly a pleasure working with our partners at City Wide.
Robert Davis, HR/Office ManagerEver since hiring City Wide in July 2014 the service has been exemplary. We have had two account managers during that time and both have been phenomenal. The cleaning crews always do a great job and assist me in remembering to order supplies. City Wide offers all the extras as well which saves us time as we don’t have to shop around and we can just have the services done when needed. You cannot ask for a better facilities solution.
Ryan Taylor, Distribution CoordinatorI greatly appreciate City Wide’s business model and services they manage. City Wide acts as an extension to my maintenance team which is a major weight off my back. It is very nice to know that each and every time any type of facility project steps outside of my maintenance team’s scope, City Wide can be there to step in and do the job needed without me having to manage it. Thanks City Wide for all you do for us!
Regina Schneider, Office ManagerJust a note of appreciation. Our Facility Services Manager has made sure I receive the best service that my company deserves. Your crew does a great job and we are very happy with their work. I am sure I’ve put you to the test in the past and you have not let me down; you always make me shine. From cleaning our offices and windows to landscaping and snow removal, you are number one with me. I commend City Wide for their commitment to outstanding service and would recommend City Wide to any business.
Chrissy Currence, Supervisory Administrative Management SpecialistThank you for all of the hard work. Those who help us with the handyman services and furniture moving were fantastic and did a great job! I know we will have more in the near future and will be reaching out again.
David J. Zimmer, SIOR, FRICS, President, PrincipalWe have worked with City Wide for over 25 years. I have always found them to be an open book on their pricing and willing to go the extra mile on the execution of their work. If there is an aspect of their work that I don’t understand, we discuss it until we find a solution acceptable to everyone. We will continue to use them for our tenant finish needs and maintenance work.
Christie W. Montague, LEED Green Associate, Senior Retail Property ManagerI am always so impressed with the customer service and work performed by City Wide Maintenance. My direct contact at City Wide Maintenance continually provides exceptional customer service and makes himself available to meet and discuss upcoming projects. His scope is always fully defined, accompanied by attractive pricing. The work completed is always delivered timely, with very few change orders, if any. Invoicing is always hassle-free as completed lien waivers always accompany the original invoice. City Wide Maintenance is my “go-to” company for projects of any size!
