Florida Janitorial & Cleaning Service Insurance

Commercial cleaning happens mostly when the rest of the building is empty — after-hours access to client premises, equipment in hallways and stairwells, chemicals near sensitive surfaces, and slip-and-fall exposure from wet floors. We write cleaning-contractor coverage that includes liability with damage-to-property extensions, a bond for the after-hours dishonesty exposure, business auto, and workers comp — and we ask the right questions up front so the renewal audit doesn't produce surprises.

Janitorial and commercial cleaning contracts in Florida cover office buildings, medical facilities, schools, retail, and industrial floors. The risk profile leans on after-hours premises access, slip-and-fall exposure from wet floors, chemical handling, and client-property damage during equipment use. Florida First Insurance of Broward writes general liability with care-custody-and-control extensions, janitorial bond for employee dishonesty at client premises, business auto for service vehicles, and workers compensation under NCCI class 9014.

Two underwriting questions drive most placements: total annual receipts split by class of facility cleaned (medical and food-prep get scrutinized more closely than standard office), and whether the operator does specialty work like floor stripping, post-construction cleanup, biohazard, or window washing above the second floor — each pushes the account into different class codes and may move it from admitted to surplus-lines pricing.
