The people who keep your building running

Janitorial, building maintenance, facilities management and landscaping for Northern California workplaces.

02How it runs

How an account runs at UFG

This is the part most facility companies describe in adjectives. We would rather describe the week.

  1. Account manager

    One person owns your site. They know the building, the crew and the contract, and they answer the phone.

  2. Weekly site audit

    Your account manager walks the site every week with a checklist. Misses go to the coach on shift that night.

  3. Work-order portal

    Submit requests, see what is scheduled and what was done, and ask for a quote on extra work. No email chains.

  4. Quarterly review

    Every quarter we sit down with you, go through inspection scores and tickets, and agree what changes next.

Ten colleagues sit around a long white table in a meeting room with a blue wall, one more joining on the wall screen

We believe in delivering more than services. We deliver trust, accountability and results.

Questions people ask

What areas do you cover?

The Bay Area, Sacramento, Santa Cruz and Monterey, and the Central Valley around Fresno, Stockton and Modesto. Our offices are in Santa Clara and Monterey.

Are you union or non-union?

No, UFG is non-union. We bid at prevailing wages, and eligible employees get health, vision and dental insurance, paid sick time and paid time off.

Do you use subcontractors?

Only for specialised work outside our in-house trades, and only with partners we have worked with for years. Everything else is done by our own crew.

How fast do you reply?

Within one business day, by phone or email. We arrange a site walk with you, then prepare a written scope, a schedule and a price for the work you need.

Who owns UFG?

Al Cuevas founded the company in Santa Clara in 1998 and still runs it. UFG is family-owned and a certified Minority Business Enterprise, not a franchise.
