Our Story

A complete
building service
company.

Founded in 2007 by President Henry Salas, Solution 1 has grown from a small local operation to Southern California's trusted partner for commercial facility management — driven by a simple commitment: do the job the way it should be done, every single shift.

Building Trust Through Excellence

Built on relationships,
not contracts.

When Henry Salas founded Solution 1 in 2007, he had a simple thesis: the commercial cleaning industry has a quality problem because it has a relationship problem. Cleaners win bids by promising the world, then disappear into a sea of subcontractors and revolving-door staff.

Nineteen years later, Solution 1 still operates the way Henry built it: dedicated crews, supervisors who actually walk the building, English-speaking foremen on every site, and a one-hour management callback standard that hasn't changed since day one.

Our Values

What we
stand for.

Solution 1 isn't built on slogans or marketing language. It's built on operational principles that show up in every contract, every shift, and every interaction with your team.

Excellence

Industry-leading standards backed by Hartford insurance, certified processes, and continuous training. We don't just meet the bar — we set it.

Integrity

Transparent pricing, honest communication, and contracts that read the same as our walk-throughs. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no fine print.

Partnership

Long-term client relationships built on accountability. The same crew, the same supervisor, the same standards — every shift, every season, every year.

Our Operating Model

How we keep
quality consistent.

The cleaning industry's biggest problem is consistency. Companies start strong then fade. Here's the operational discipline that keeps us at the top after 19 years.

01

Stabilized Workforce

Low turnover means your facility gets the same trained crew month after month. We invest in our people because consistency in personnel is what keeps quality consistent in your building.

02

English-Speaking Foremen

Every account has a foreman who can communicate seamlessly with both the crew and your building liaison. No miscommunication, no "lost in translation."

03

Cross-Trained Backups

For every regular cleaner, we maintain at least one cross-trained replacement. When someone's out sick, your service doesn't suffer.

04

Scheduled Inspections

Your dedicated supervisor meets with you at regular intervals to walk the facility, review what's working, and address what isn't. This is documented and tracked.

05

Surprise Inspections

Beyond the scheduled walk-throughs, our area managers conduct unannounced inspections. Quality matters when nobody's watching — that's the standard.

06

1-Hour Callback

Our supervisory personnel are available by phone 24/7. Management makes a conscious effort to return all calls within one hour. Period.

Fully Insured & Certified

Compliance you can
verify.

$2M
General Liability

General liability coverage through Hartford Insurance & Financial Services. Available on every job, every contract.

MBE

100%
