In commercial real estate, Common Area Maintenance (CAM) is more than a budget line—it’s a direct reflection of tenant satisfaction, asset preservation, and operational efficiency.
Whether it’s a shopping center in Ventura or an office park in the Valley, shared spaces are where first impressions are made.
Common Area Maintenance — Done Right
At Crown Royalty Property Services, we understand that CAM isn’t just trash pickup or a coat of paint. It’s a system—and like any system, it needs clarity, structure, and brilliant execution.
What’s Typically Included in CAM
Exterior Maintenance: Trash removal, walkway degreasing, graffiti abatement, and curb painting
Parking Lot Care: Litter pickup, drain cleaning, signage touch-ups
Landscape & Weed Control: Regular trimming, spraying, seasonal refreshes
Minor Repairs: Light electrical, plumbing, patch and paint, hardware replacements
Roof Drain & Gutter Cleaning: Quarterly maintenance to prevent water damage
Photo-Documented Reports: Visual documentation for transparency and CAM reconciliation
CAM costs are typically split pro rata among tenants based on square footage, making accuracy and consistency essential.
Why This Matters to Property Managers
The property managers we work with share common priorities:
Preventative upkeep that avoids costly capital repairs
Clean, well-maintained assets that retain tenants
Vendors who provide real-time updates, not just invoices
We deliver on all fronts through structured CrownCare™ maintenance plans, on-demand repairs, and documentation that aligns with CAM audits.
CAM Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated
Our pricing model is transparent and CAM-eligible, ranging from $495 per month for small plazas to $3,200 per month for high-traffic centers. It’s built for predictability, compliance, and peace of mind.
We don’t just clean and repair—we help you plan, protect, and present your asset professionally.
