Caldwell & Gregory

Caldwell & Gregory is a commercial laundry company based in Manakin-Sabot, Virginia that designs, installs, manages and maintains shared laundry rooms for colleges and universities, multifamily communities, hotels, campgrounds and RV parks and other shared properties.

Under its managed model the company supplies the machines, the service and the payment technology, and the property receives a revenue stream instead of buying equipment and chasing repairs. Consultations start with an on-site visit; machines accept coins, cards, mobile and Bluetooth payment; and maintenance and payment-system repairs are covered for the life of the lease. The C&G Portal shows revenue performance, service activity and machine status for every location under one login, and a student laundry app shows machine availability, sends cycle notifications and handles payments and refunds. Equipment financing is also offered for properties that want to own machines.

The company was founded in 1990 to serve college laundry rooms and now manages and operates laundry facilities in 25 states and Washington, D.C., establishing a local presence in each market it serves; a recent expansion into Texas supports Sun Belt portfolios. It reports more than 300 university partners, installs equipment from Speed Queen, Maytag and other brands, and says its service technicians graduate from Speed Queen's Alliance Laundry Systems University and maintain Maytag Red Carpet Service certification. Support is staffed 24/7.
