Acme Building Services was founded in 1949 as the Acme Wall Washing Company. Since then we have grown to be one of the most prominent full-service professional cleaning, custodial and maintenance companies in the greater Boston region.

Our Mission

With a partner-oriented approach to client relations and customer service, a formidable devotion to environmental responsibility and ‘green’ business practices, a 24/7/365 corporate philosophy, and a commitment to providing services that are flexible, timely, and consistently cost-efficient, Acme continues to grow as the professional cleaning, custodial and maintenance provider of choice for Boston’s institutional and commercial community. That has been our mission for more than 60 years.

It is a mission that is vigorously supported by the meticulous supervision we provide to our reliable, well-trained and cross-trained workforce, and the dependable client communication efforts to which we are committed on a daily basis.

As a result of our approach, fortitude and flexibility, we have been fortunate to build on our success year after year. Our reputation is sterling. As a case in point, we began a professional relationship with Harvard University in 1949, the year we began, which continues to this day. We have a 27-year professional relationship with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. And our client partnership with Berklee College of Music, for which we provide full-time maintenance, custodial and trade services and personnel, goes back more than 22 years. These solid affiliations develop as we partner with our customers over time.

Over the years we have become acutely attuned to the particular cleaning, custodial and maintenance needs of our institutional and commercial clients, and we have also developed an intimate knowledge of the many special events that are frequently part of the institutional environment. That helps us plan appropriately for all clients, all situations, and all contingencies.
