Defaults use rough U.S. industry rates. Adjust your own per-sqft rates over time as you collect data from real jobs.
Enter a square footage to see a suggested quote range.
Size the crew so the job is profitable at the midpoint of the range.
Based on 2.15 visits per month at the recurring discount.
Turn the range into a yes.
The number on its own does not close a job. Pair it with a clear offer and a recurring option.
- Send the quote within 24 hours — speed wins more than price.
- Always show two numbers: one-time and recurring. Anchor the recurring as the better deal.
- Explain what is included. Cleaning is invisible labor — itemize tasks to justify the rate.
- Add a guarantee: “If anything is missed, we come back within 24 hours.”
- Ask for the booking. Do not end the email with “let me know.”
Next step: turn the lead target into a 30-day plan with the cleaning playbook.
