June 2017 Luncheon Follow-up - Parking Problems!
A question was posed from the audience at the June luncheon to our speaker, Michael Wilson, that he needed to research. Here is the question and answer:

Q. Can ADA Accessible Parking stalls be assigned for dedicated use?
A. No, you cannot assign the code required accessible stalls to an individual.  However, if your facility provided more than the code minimum required ADA Accessible Parking stalls, then the stalls that exceed the minimum required could be assigned.

The Pegasus Difference
Pegasus Building Services is a premier provider of building maintenance and professional cleaning services to property owners and commercial real estate professionals. Unlike other building services companies, Pegasus offers both janitorial services and cutting-edge cleaning technology for critical environments. These services span virtually all manufacturing and industrial environments - through cutting-edge cleaning innovation, a commitment to cost-savings and a partnership with our customers.

Pegasus is an ESOP company that has been in the professional cleaning services industry for over 48 years covering all of the California and Arizona regions.
 
The Key to Our Success
Unlike other commercial cleaning service providers, Pegasus Building Services is employee-owned. When a customer picks up the phone or sees a Pegasus representative at their facility, they know they are dealing directly with an owner of the company.

Pegasus Building Services staff are in it for the long run. In the cleaning industry at large, employee turnover ranges from 200 to 300 percent a year. Turnover at Pegasus is less than 25 percent a year. This means the same person who cleans your facility today will be cleaning it tomorrow. There is no revolving door with Pegasus.

Everyone at Pegasus Building Services - from our front-line employees to our senior managers - has one overriding goal: do whatever it takes to guarantee our customers' satisfaction.
