American Empire Building Services boasts over four decades of experience in providing exceptional commercial cleaning and maintenance services throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Originating from the legacy of Lewis & Taylor established in 1945, the company has consistently evolved, focusing on maintaining high standards of efficiency and green cleaning practices that prioritize the health of both clients and the environment. Under the leadership of President Larklyn Milstein and her father, Michael Milstein, American Empire embraces a family-run ethos while championing the importance of women in leadership roles within the industry.
The company began as a venture by Ed Lewis and George Taylor, who identified the potential within the burgeoning janitorial cleaning market post-World War II. With a vision and dedication, they laid the groundwork for future generations. By the 1970s, Michael Milstein expanded the operation, and under his guidance, American Empire has set itself apart with a full suite of specialty services, including luxury floor care, window cleaning, and thorough janitorial services tailored to various industries.
They have established long-term partnerships with numerous clients, often retaining relationships that span over 25 years. This success stems from their commitment to developing strong client relationships built on effective communication, proactive inspections, and thorough staff training. Furthermore, American Empire actively implements science-backed green cleaning methods, underscoring their dedication to sustainability in the cleaning sector.
As one of the few women-owned building service contractors in the Bay Area, American Empire Building Services not only prioritizes quality but also pioneers a path for future female entrepreneurs in the field. Their combination of family values, professional expertise, and commitment to the environment positions American Empire as a leader in the commercial cleaning industry.
