Day porters are often unseen or dismissed workers at shopping centers, malls and other large common spaces. These porters do more than clean, they help uphold the image of the facility and ensure that it is a place that customers want to frequent. By making sure that the property looks nice, clean and in good repair, day porters provide property management with an invaluable service that keeps both customers and tenants happy.

There is a lot of outdoor maintenance that goes into the management of a commercial property. Property managers rely on day porters to address small and cosmetic structural issues that occur at the property and to apprise them of any larger issues in a timely manner that need to be addressed by a professional repair service. Day porters clean the exterior of the building at regular intervals, including power washing and removing or covering graffiti. Porters may also paint the building and repair damaged or chipped trim work.
