Who is SDJ Facility Services?

SDJ Facility Services is a commercial cleaning and janitorial company at 1094 Cudahy Place, Suite 306, San Diego, CA 92110. Ricardo Buffara founded it in 2010. The company is family-owned and family-run, with a team of about 80 serving businesses across San Diego County. We clean offices, schools, medical and dental offices, warehouses, life science buildings and retail spaces. We take recurring accounts and one-time projects. We work with commercial clients only.

Clients know us for three things. We answer. We tell you what was done. And the work looks the same in week fifty as it did in week one. That is what Communication, Transparency and Consistency means in practice.

Our mission

To give San Diego businesses dependable commercial cleaning and facility services, and to be the partner that keeps every workplace healthy and productive.

We are modernizing commercial cleaning with technology, so every client can see what was done, ask for what they need and get an answer.

Our values: Communication, Transparency and Consistency

Three words run through everything we do. Here is what they mean day to day.

Communication

You get one point of contact who knows your building. Call, text or email in English, Spanish or Portuguese. You reach a person who can act, not a ticket queue.

See our communication workflow

Transparency

Every account starts with a free on-site walkthrough. The written scope names each area, how often it is cleaned and what happens on each visit. The proposal, the crew and the inspection all follow that one plan.

How a quote works

Consistency

The same crew returns. SDJ managers inspect the work, and problems get fixed rather than explained. Ninety percent of our clients stay with us year after year.

Our story

Ricardo Buffara started SD Janitor in San Diego in 2010 with a small crew and a simple promise: show up, do the work right and tell the client what happened. The company grew the way local companies grow, one referral at a time. Today it is a team of about 80 people cleaning for businesses from Oceanside to Chula Vista.

In 2026 the company took a name that says what it does today: SDJ Facility Services. The owners, the team and the standards did not change. The domain sdjanitor.com, the phone number and the Google profile all carry on under the new name.
