Frequently Asked Questions
What should a cleaning estimate include?
A professional cleaning estimate should itemize the type of service, labor hours or flat rates, materials or parts, and payment terms. List each service area or task as a separate line item for transparency. Include your company name, contact info, and a clear expiration date for the estimate.
How is a estimate different from an invoice?
An estimate is a preliminary cost projection given before work begins. It's non-binding and helps customers understand approximate costs. An invoice is issued after work is completed and represents the actual amount due. For cleaning work, estimates are common for residential customers evaluating options.
What payment terms should cleaning estimates include?
Cleaning estimates for residential work should clearly state that the estimate is valid for 30 days. Include deposit requirements for large jobs (typically 25–50% upfront) and the balance due on completion. Note accepted payment methods.
