The local office, at 2 Prestige Place in Miamisburg, is operated by franchisee overseers Gary Price and Terry Quinn.

Quinn's group handles the sales, billing, insurance and other matters for the franchisees, who take care of the actual cleaning. Quinn said he already has enlisted more than 40 local franchisees to cover the Dayton area.

Quinn said the Dayton area has been underserved by the existing cleaning firms.

"There are a lot of medium to small companies that need to be cleaned," he said. "Office suites, churches, country clubs, doctor's offices, they all have to be cleaned."

Coverall will compete against local commercial cleaners such as Apex Building Maintenance, Welch's Janitorial Service and Cam's Commercial Cleaning.

Quinn said he'd like to have between 60 and 80 local franchisees in a year. Local franchise costs range from $1,000 to $20,000, depending on how much business they can handle. Quinn would not specify how much his "master franchise" fees were to acquire the rights to the Dayton market. However, the company Web site said it costs between $100,000 and $185,000.

Based in Boca Raton, Fla., Coverall has 8,000 franchise owners that service roughly 40,000 customers.
