How Picture Perfect Cleaning Was Born: A Purpose-Driven Janitorial Company in Calgary & Edmonton
A story of purpose, partnership, and a people-first culture that still guides our commercial cleaning services today.
From two coffee shops to serving Calgary and Edmonton—built on integrity, care, and excellence.
Vision & Values: Where It All Began
In 2010, in Calgary, founder Jared Sarbit—then a senior manager in hospitality—set out to build a different kind of commercial cleaning company: one grounded in purpose, culture, and integrity. After setting aside multiple business plans that didn’t feel meaningful, inspiration arrived close to home: his wife’s father, a refugee who worked as a janitor. That immigrant story—of resilience, hard work, and achievement—reframed what success could look like.
From day one, the goal was simple: provide exceptional commercial janitorial services while creating respectful, stable jobs and a workplace where people are valued.
A People-First Culture
Across North America, cleaning companies face the same challenge: finding and keeping great custodial staff. Drawing on his hospitality background, Jared envisioned a company where employees are respected, trained, supported, and empowered. This philosophy became the foundation of Picture Perfect Cleaning and the reason clients notice consistent, reliable service.
- Structured onboarding and hands-on site training
- Regular inspections and proactive communication
- Career growth paths and recognition programs
Partnership Built on Trust
The turning point came when Jared met Aaron Graham through summer camp outreach work. Aaron’s humility, integrity, and dedication to excellence made him the perfect business partner. Their first contracts were two small coffee shops—Jared cleaned one, Aaron cleaned the other. Those early mornings with mop and bucket set the tone for the business: lead by example, sweat the details, and put people first.

What began in a 900-sq-ft condo has grown into a trusted provider of commercial cleaning in Calgary and Edmonton. Today, we work with clients across industries—offices, medical facilities, daycares, retail, and post-construction sites—while staying true to our mission:
