After decades in the facility maintenance industry, Kevin Keegan saw an opportunity to raise the bar for service providers. As a former COO overseeing over 5 million square feet of commercial property, Kevin was often frustrated by the reactive, siloed nature of service companies. “I wanted to create a company that proactively managed accounts, solved problems before they arose, and built trust with clients,” he shares.

In 2009, with the encouragement of his wife, Kevin took a leap of faith and started All Clean Services. “My wife asked me, ‘Have you ever failed at anything?’ When I said no, she said, ‘Then why would you think you would not succeed in running your own business?’ That was all the affirmation I needed,” Kevin recalls. With a clear vision of better service and support from his family, All Clean Services began as a small operation, growing rapidly through word-of-mouth referrals and exceptional service delivery.

A Culture of Integrity and Ownership

At All Clean Services, the culture revolves around integrity, ownership, and a relentless focus on doing the right thing. Kevin instills these principles through seven core values that guide the company’s daily operations. “We don’t cut corners, we don’t nickel-and-dime clients, and we always solve problems first and talk costs later,” he explains. The company’s approach mirrors a franchise-like model, with standardized training, uniforms, and expectations for both employees and subcontractors. “We treat our subcontractors like employees—they represent our brand, so the standards must be consistent across the board,” Kevin says. This integrated approach ensures the company delivers reliable, high-quality service nationwide.

All Clean Services stands out in the facility maintenance industry by offering a fully integrated approach to outsourced services. Unlike traditional siloed providers, All Clean’s teams are cross-trained to handle multiple trades, allowing clients to rely on a single point of contact for their facility needs. “From janitorial work to window cleaning to painting, we ensure our clients receive proactive, high-quality service across all areas,” Kevin says. The company’s proactive mindset also drives its consultative sales approach. Kevin emphasizes listening to clients’ challenges and crafting tailored solutions. “We don’t focus on problems—we focus on solutions that build trust and long-term relationships,” he adds.

Scaling a national service provider comes with its challenges, particularly in an industry reliant on frontline workers. Workforce retention remains a critical focus for Kevin, as evolving employee expectations have reshaped the hiring landscape. “Finding the right people and ensuring they align with our culture has required us to really focus on our hiring and training processes,” he shares. By incorporating personality profiling and prioritizing candidates who embody the company’s core values, All Clean Services has strengthened its team and improved retention, fostering a more cohesive and dedicated workforce.

Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

For Kevin and his team, being recognized as a GrowFL honoree is both an honor and a testament to their hard work. “It’s validation for the good work we do and the relationships we’ve built,” Kevin shares. The recognition also serves as a powerful tool for expanding brand awareness, particularly in markets where All Clean Services is still growing. Kevin and his team take pride in being headquartered in Florida and are excited to connect with the vibrant community of leaders within GrowFL.

Kevin’s advice to aspiring entrepreneurs is grounded in action and resilience: “Bet on yourself. If you bet on yourself and you are confident in yourself, you will become successful. You’re not going to do everything right, but by learning from your mistakes, you will find successful solutions.” He emphasizes the importance of starting sooner rather than later, noting that waiting often leads to unnecessary delays and missed opportunities. “Do it sooner than later. It’s much easier to do it at an earlier, younger age. What you lack in experience you can make up with drive and flexibility. Don’t put off to tomorrow what you can do today. No excuses, just do it!” he shares.

Notable Community Involvement

Kevin’s commitment to giving back extends beyond his business. Through his 501(c)(3) foundation, Hope is Hear, he supports individuals with bipolar disorder, inspired by his brother’s journey. “Our goal is to help people stay balanced and become productive members of society,” he shares. Additionally, All Clean Services contributes to local charities across its markets, often aligning donations with causes important to their clients and employees. Kevin’s philosophy is simple: “We’re here to help, whether it’s through our business or our community.”
