About Us

In December 2020, DOW was purchased by Prichard industries, continuing to do business as DOW Building Services. We have been serving Arkansas since 1985 with janitorial services, environmental services, carpet, ceramic, and vinyl floor maintenance, and other building services. We currently provide services to over 5 million square feet each day and employ more than 500 people throughout Arkansas. Dow Building Services prides itself as being the largest Janitorial Services Contractor in Arkansas.

During the last 35 plus years, DOW has built a reputation as a high-quality, affordable building and janitorial services contractor. We have proven that if we provide consistent quality service, our clients and those familiar with our firm will not hesitate to place their credibility on the line by recommending us. More than 75% of our business is generated by client referrals. This is the reputation we have earned and proven time and again. It's built on performance, not promises.

Being involved with the communities we work in is an important component of our business model. Because of that, DOW Building Services is a proud member of the Little Rock, North Little Rock, Springdale, Bentonville, Jonesboro, and Hot Springs Chambers of Commerce.

Quality janitorial service revolves around good people trained to properly clean your facility. It’s that simple. At DOW, our policy is to hire the right people, give them proper specifications and precise written work schedules, and monitor their performance.

All our janitorial staff is selectively screened and tested. They are well trained and motivated, and we pay our workers a higher wage than the local industry standard. All this adds up to the highest quality person working in your building. But, we don’t stop with just good people cleaning your facility. There is always a person available to you - never an answering machine. DOW Operations Management are always accessible to you 7 days a week. Communicating with our customers is extremely important to us.
