St. Louis-based commercial cleaning, janitorial, and housekeeping services company 4M Building Solutions (www.4-M.com) has announced it has acquired Capital Services Inc., a family-owned commercial cleaning company serving Columbus, OH. Tim M. Murch, CBSE, 4M CEO and managing partner, made the announcement. The parties involved did not disclose the terms of the transaction.

“This is an incredible opportunity for us to grow in Columbus,” Murch said. “Capital Services built its business and reputation over four decades, and is highly respected by area facility management professionals. Its deep roots in the community, and strong customer service practices, attracted us to the company. We look forward to a smooth transition for Capital’s teammates and customers, and a tremendous boost to our presence in Ohio.”

Brief History of Capital Services Ownership

Sisters Christine Mitchell, president, and Jennifer Dahman, co-owned Capital Services, the business founded by their father, John Schell, in 1981. In addition to that, the company’s customer base includes commercial office buildings, healthcare, and municipal facilities, and it has a niche in construction cleanup.

“I can speak for myself and my sister that running the business our father started has been a genuine honor,” Mitchell said. “This decision brings new opportunities for our employees and customers, and I am confident it will ultimately lead to a brighter future for all involved. 4M Building Solutions shares our values and commitment to excellence.”

The Future Is Bright For 4M

Mitchell and Dahman are leaving the business, while key management and employees will remain under the 4M name. 4M gains 50 new team members and cleaning contracts for 24 buildings. All operations will move to 4M’s existing Columbus office, at 620 Taylor Station Road. 4M entered the Columbus market in 2014. It operates in 15 states, located in the midwest, southeast, and northeast.
