Office Pride of North Austin

Carlos Alvarez and Gabriel Junco are the owners of Office Pride Commercial Cleaning Services of North Austin, an independently owned and operated commercial cleaning franchise serving businesses in the area including Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Leander and the North Austin metro area.

Alvarez has over a decade of experience in public health. He holds a doctorate in public health, where he specialized in infectious disease epidemiology, health equity and surveillance data systems evaluation. With Office Pride of North Austin, Alvarez oversees finance, business operations and administration.

“My background in public health provides a unique advantage in managing a commercial cleaning franchise,” Alvarez says. “With my extensive experience in infectious disease epidemiology and environmental health, I bring a deep understanding of sanitation standards, compliance protocols and health-focused service delivery. This knowledge is especially valuable for serving healthcare, government and high-risk facilities.”

Alvarez co-owns the location with Gabriel Junco. Junco has over a decade of experience with facilities maintenance and construction subcontractors. He also has significant experience in the B2B service and maintenance industry.

“My background has provided me the experience to be well-prepared to handle a wide range of cleaning needs,” Junco said. “Whether it’s routine upkeep, deep cleaning, or post-project cleanup, I understand the importance of flexibility and am used to adapting to the client’s needs.”

Alvarez’s wife, Laurice, will manage the company’s marketing and lead generation strategy.

We believe in doing business the right way — being honest with clients, fair with employees and committed to excellence in everything we do. These aren’t just business principles to us; they are the values by which we live.”
