What to Ask for on a Janitorial COI in New Jersey (Before Anyone Steps On-Site)

GL, workers' comp, umbrella, additional insured, and W-9: plain-language expectations for New Jersey property managers and facility teams.

A certificate of insurance (COI) is not a trophy—it is a snapshot of a moment. Global Cleaning USA keeps limits and naming in step with what NJ and Eastern PA landlords and institutional owners typically require, and we turn around a current COI on request. If a vendor will not answer insurance questions in plain language before the walk, you will not want them there when a tenant attorney asks the same thing after hours.

Minimums are a start; align them to real exposure

A night vacuum route in carpet-only spaces is a different risk profile from pressure washing, glass work at height, and battery-powered equipment in an underground garage. Ask which activities are in-policy and which require endorsements, and match that to the schedule you are buying.

Keep records current

Calendar an annual or renewal check the same time you re-run vendor packets for security or municipal contracts. A stale COI is a common audit failure mode that is entirely preventable.
