Professional Preventive Maintenance for Shaw businesses
Shaw preventive maintenance plans bundle hood cleaning, fire suppression, HVAC, and exhaust-system service under one monthly agreement covering the 7th Street NW and 9th Street NW chef-driven flagship cluster, City Market at O Street mixed-use complex, Howard Theatre revival district, and Mount Vernon Triangle.
