A building cleaned only at night starts looking used by midday: restrooms run out, lobbies collect prints, and spills sit until someone complains to the property manager. Anvil day porters hold the daytime standard on a fixed monthly price, as uniformed W-2 employees working a documented route.
We respond to every estimate request within one business day.
Summary
Anvil Facility Services provides day porter services across New York City, Long Island, and New Jersey: uniformed W-2 porters who restock restrooms, keep lobbies and common areas presentable, and handle spills during business hours. As a guide, coverage runs about $32 to $45 per porter hour, set as a fixed monthly amount in a written proposal after a walkthrough.
Restrooms monitored and restocked through the day so they never run out of supplies or read neglected at the worst moment.
Entrances, lobbies, elevators, and shared corridors kept sharp, with glass and touchpoints wiped down on a rolling route.
Spills, overflows, and messes handled on the spot, before they become a slip hazard or a complaint to the property manager.
Common-area trash, breakrooms, and shared kitchens reset through the day, with high-touch surfaces wiped between the nightly cleans.
A dedicated full-time porter for a busy Class A lobby, or part-time coverage during peak hours for a smaller property. Matched to traffic, not sold as a package.
Coverage timed to when the building is busiest, from morning open through the midday rush, so the porter is there when the wear actually happens.
Porters are uniformed Anvil employees, not day labor, working a documented route so the same standard holds whether or not anyone is watching.
Buildings that the public moves through all day, such as Class A and multi-tenant offices, medical buildings, retail, and gyms, are judged on how they look at 2pm, not just how they were left at 6am. A day porter holds that midday standard.
It pairs directly with recurring janitorial (the nightly reset) and restroom sanitation, and most accounts run a porter on top of a standing nightly clean.
Common fits: corporate offices, property management and CRE, medical and healthcare, retail and storefronts, and gyms and fitness.
Our process
What happens after you request an estimate.
You fill out the form below with information about your facility, your services, and your timeline. We review and respond within one business day.
A free 30-minute on-site or virtual walkthrough of your facility. We map your space, your high-traffic zones, and your specific concerns.
A written scope with fixed monthly pricing, usually the same day as the walkthrough and always within 24 hours. No hourly billing, no scope creep.
We train a dedicated crew on your facility before the first shift. Your operations lead is introduced and on call from day one.
Case study
A luxury retail portfolio with multiple Manhattan storefronts under one operations lead.
Day porter coverage is priced by the porter hour and written into the proposal as a fixed monthly amount. As a guide, it runs about $32 to $45 per porter hour: about $5,550 to $7,800 a month for a full-time porter (8 hours a day, 5 days a week), or $2,750 to $3,900 a month for four hours a day through the peak. Full-time schedules sit at the lower end and short or occasional shifts at the top. The written proposal governs.
From first call to first shift: a response within one business day, a free 30-minute walkthrough, a written fixed-price proposal usually the same day, and a porter trained on the building before the first shift. For the difference in scope, see day porter vs nightly janitorial.
A day porter is an on-site cleaning attendant who keeps a building presentable during business hours, rather than only at night. Day porters handle restroom checks and restocking, lobby and common-area upkeep, spills and incidents, trash and breakroom service, and high-touch surfaces while the building is occupied and in use.
A night janitor performs the deep reset after hours when the building is empty: full cleaning, trash, floors, and detail work. A day porter works during occupied hours to keep the building looking maintained between those resets, responding to spills, restocking restrooms, and handling the wear that builds up over a busy day. Most buildings run both.
Typical day porter duties include monitoring and restocking restrooms, wiping down lobbies and entrances, emptying trash in common areas, cleaning breakrooms and shared kitchens, spot-cleaning glass and touchpoints, responding to spills, and flagging maintenance issues. Anvil's porters are uniformed W-2 employees working a documented route.
