Anvil crew member maintaining a commercial floor

About Anvil

Excellence, maintained.

Who we are

Anvil Facility Services is a commercial cleaning company based in Chelsea, Manhattan, serving businesses across New York and New Jersey. We built Anvil on a simple position: most companies treat cleaning like a commodity, and the businesses that depend on it deserve better. Low bid, invisible crew, nobody accountable when something gets missed. We run it the other way.

Every account starts with a walkthrough. We scope the work from what we see in your building and what you tell us matters, not from a rate sheet. Then we put the scope in writing, staff it with a crew trained for your facility, and hold the standard week after week.

Leo Theisen, founder and CEO of Anvil Facility Services

Meet the founder

Founder and CEO Leo Theisen took an unusual road into commercial cleaning. He studied neuroscience at the University of Michigan, then spent the early part of his career in AI, building automation that freed office teams from the busywork keeping them from the jobs they were actually hired to do.

That work taught him the distinction Anvil now runs on. The tedious parts of operating a business can be automated. The human parts cannot. Judgment, relationships, and the care it takes to keep a physical space right for the people in it will always belong to people. Cleaning is that kind of work, and Leo watched an entire industry treat it like a commodity anyway: lowest bid wins, the crew stays invisible, and nobody picks up the phone when something gets missed.

So he built the company he thought the industry was missing. Leo walks every building before Anvil quotes it. The scope comes from the walkthrough, the crew is trained for the specific facility, and when clients call, they reach someone who knows their account, often Leo himself. His job, as he defines it, is to make cleaning the one operational item his clients never have to think about.

The crew

Our team is the company. Our cleaners are W-2 employees, not subcontractors. Every member of the crew is vetted, background-checked, and trained on the specific facility they are assigned to, because a dental operatory, a trading floor, and a retail showroom do not get cleaned the same way. Supervisors walk sites on a schedule and verify the work with photos, so the standard holds whether or not anyone is watching.

We handle everything from office cleaning to medical facility cleaning to luxury retail cleaning, on schedules built around your hours, including nights and weekends.

Excellence, maintained.

That is our motto, and it names the hard part of this work. Almost any cleaning company can deliver an excellent first clean. The test is month fourteen: same crew discipline, same detail, no drift. Anvil is built for partnerships measured in years, so everything in how we operate, written scopes, trained crews, supervisor site walks, photo-verified work, exists to keep the standard as high on visit two hundred as on visit one.

If we ever miss something, tell us. We fix it within 24 hours or you do not pay for that visit. That is the arrangement, in writing, on every account.

We clean with EPA-registered disinfectants and products selected for performance and for the people in your building. The working product list is set per site and adjusts to your preferences.

Our customers

We clean offices, medical and dental practices, retail stores, and specialty facilities across Manhattan, the outer boroughs, Westchester, Long Island, and New Jersey. What they have in common is an operator who can tell adequate from excellent and wants a vendor who acts like part of the team. If a request comes up between visits, you reach a person who knows your account, and it gets handled.
