Gated communities & HOAs
Common areas theboard never has to flag.
Common-area cleaning for Southwest Florida gated communities, held to a written standard and a documented log you can hand the board. One company across the portfolio, one standard on every property.
Written for the CAM
You answer for the standard. Every board meeting.
The cleaner started strong, then slipped. Now the pool restroom is on the agenda, because a board member finally noticed the corner that keeps getting skipped.
A CAM does not need another company to manage. You need one that manages itself: a written scope, a supervisor who signs the work, and a log you can pull before the next board meeting. Prove the standard on one community, and it holds across the portfolio.
Where complaints start
Three zones a board always notices.
Elevators
The first thing a resident sees when they walk in.
Cab floors, tracks, glass and panels, held clean through the day.
Lobbies & common areas
Where a prospective buyer decides what the community is worth.
Stone, glass, seating and entries kept presentation-ready through peak traffic and showings.
Pool & amenity restrooms
The number one complaint that reaches the board.
Stocked, sanitized and logged on a regular schedule, so it’s handled before anyone has to email you.
The spaces we hold
The common areas a resident walks through daily.
Elevators & lobbies
The first thing a resident sees, held clean through the day.
Amenity & pool decks
The presentation members pay for, kept ready every morning.
Clubrooms & common lounges
Event-ready one day, back to standard the next, on a documented cycle.
The difference
Documentation you can hand the board.
Every shift is checked against a written checklist and filed with a dated photo log. When a board asks whether the common areas are being maintained, you have the answer in your inbox, not a promise from a cleaner.
It also makes the competitive-bid process simple. Sabal bids the way Florida statute expects, on a real walkthrough and a written scope, and the price you approve is the price in the contract. See the standard.
Also available
Pulled in when the community needs it.
Event & banquet turnaround
For communities with a clubhouse or amenity center: pre-set, on-site coverage, and a full reset after resident events.
Season staffing
Coverage scaled to the Nov to Apr surge, planned in advance so the standard holds when the community fills up.

Straight answers on scope, frequency, cost, and the competitive bid. Anything not here, ask at the walkthrough.
Request a Walkthrough →What is included in HOA and condo common-area cleaning?
Common-area cleaning covers the shared spaces residents use every day: lobbies, hallways and elevators, the clubhouse and amenity rooms, fitness rooms, and pool and amenity restrooms. Floors, glass, restrooms and high-touch surfaces are cleaned on a regular schedule. Sabal sets the exact scope with the board or CAM at a walkthrough.
How often should HOA common areas be cleaned?
High-traffic common areas like lobbies, elevators and pool restrooms are usually cleaned daily or several times a week, with carpet extraction and deep work on a longer cycle. The right frequency matches real resident traffic, and Sabal sets it at the walkthrough and writes it into the scope.
Are HOA cleaning contracts required to be competitively bid in Florida?
In Florida, an HOA contract that exceeds 10 percent of the association’s annual budget, including reserves, must be competitively bid under statute 720.3055 (the threshold is 5 percent for condominiums under Chapter 718). The board is not obligated to take the lowest bid. Sabal bids on a real walkthrough and a written scope, so a board can compare on more than price.
Do you provide documentation the board can review?
Yes. Every shift is checked against a written checklist and filed with a dated photo log. When the board or a resident asks whether the common areas are being maintained, the CAM has the record in hand instead of a promise from a cleaner.
How much does HOA common-area cleaning cost?
Common-area cleaning is priced per square foot or per visit, not as one flat number. General commercial cleaning runs about $0.09 to $0.20 per square foot industry-wide (ISSA), and Southwest Florida properties often land near $0.08 to $0.18. Sabal quotes a flat monthly rate after a walkthrough.
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Yes, Sabal is licensed, bonded, and insured, and sends its certificate of insurance before the first visit.
What areas do you serve?
Sabal serves communities across Southwest Florida, including Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Marco Island, Punta Gorda, and Port Charlotte, throughout Lee, Collier, and Charlotte counties.
