Upstream Facility Services provides repair and maintenance services for commercial facilities. We support a wide range of business environments, including, but not limited to, quickservice restaurants, retail locations, and financial institutions such as banks.
Upstream Facility Services supports clients through a nationwide network of 8,000 skilled technicians and field leaders. Technicians are positioned near our facilities, which puts them within close proximity to most commercial businesses, allowing for fast and efficient response times.
Upstream Facility Services plans and staffs our operations to meet demand, including external partners. Work is scheduled based on agreed upon service levels, location, trade requirements, and urgency, ensuring each client receives consistent, reliable support.
Our staffing model is designed to scale with demand, allowing us to support external clients without compromising service quality or responsiveness.
We strive to resolve issues on the first visit whenever possible by focusing on identifying root causes and delivering lasting solutions, not just temporary fixes. When a first-time fix isn’t achievable, we partner closely with our clients to identify and remove barriers, such as parts availability, site access, or proposal approvals, so repairs can be completed efficiently and successfully.
Our technicians are community-based professionals who live, work, and shop in the areas they serve, bringing local knowledge, accountability, and care to every service call.
Safety and compliance are foundational to how Upstream Facility Services operates. Our technicians are properly licensed where required and trained to meet commercial-grade safety, regulatory, and facility compliance standards.
Technicians receive ongoing, role-specific training and are supported by Upstream’s dedicated in-office safety, licensing, and training teams, ensuring work is performed safely, correctly, and in accordance with applicable requirements on every service call.
We partner with our clients to identify the key performance indicators (KPIs) that matter most to their business. Upstream Facility Services Client Managers host regular touch-base meetings that include KPI reviews to assess performance, identify trends, and discuss opportunities for improvement.
These ongoing conversations help align priorities, address challenges, and incorporate client feedback into our day-to-day operations, ensuring transparency and continuous improvement across your facilities.
