History
In 1961, a young entrepreneur named Frank Oddo decided to open his own janitorial company when he couldn’t find the right job. He grew City Wide from the ground up to become one of the most prominent companies in the building maintenance industry. In 1996 his son, Jeff, took over as the active president and continues in that role today.
Jeff is credited with redirecting the company on to a path that would come to set the company apart in the building maintenance world through its breadth of service offerings, efficient and innovative approach to the provision of services, and outstanding customer service standards..
- Transitioned from traditionally staffed to management company
- Began to offer more than 20 different services
- Sit on the same side of the table as the client - represent their needs
- Focus on vendor selection, compliance & overall client satisfaction
An FSM, assisted by a Night Manager, were assigned to every account, dramatically reducing the amount of stress and time associated with managing vendors.
Nearly 50 years later, City Wide has become one of the country’s superior service management companies. We provide building maintenance in and oversee the cleaning of thousands of buildings throughout the United States and nearly 100 million square feet of commercial space every night.
