Transcript

The House cleaning industry is diverse, encompassing various sectors such as post-construction cleaning, Regular Maintenance Cleanings, Top To Bottom Deluxe Cleanings.
Determining the right pricing strategy can be challenging, considering factors such as flat rates versus hourly charges, the scope of the project, and specific client needs.

 
1. Single Dwelling and Home Owner Rehab Post Construction Cleanings:
 And should be priced at least .50 Sq Foot. It's mostly vacuuming, wet wiping and then drying. Always ask if they are having the vents cleaning

2. Small and Large Commercial Projects such as retail locations and large apartment complexes


Pricing Models:

1. Flat Rate vs. Hourly:
Determining whether to charge a flat rate or an hourly fee is a critical decision. Flat rates offer predictability for clients, while hourly rates may be more suitable for projects with unpredictable durations.

2. Flat Rate VS Square Footage
Consideration should be given to factors like the number of people and animals in the space, flooring types, and the presence of pets. Hairy pets, for instance, may require additional effort in cleaning.

3. Time Watchers:
These guys ( home-owners)  will watch the clock and state that you owe them because you left early. Five minutes, here. 10 minutes there. And you will leave early as you learn the flow of the house that you are cleaning.

Focus on Frequency:

1. Weekly and Bi-weekly Cleaning:
We typically will only take on Weekly and Bi Weekly Cleaning. We will take on Monthly cleanings if they hit our price point.

2. No 3-Week Cycles:
Avoiding 3-week cleaning cycles ensures consistency and can simplify pricing discussions. Offering a clear pricing structure for 17 or 26 cleanings per year reduces ambiguity.

Additional Considerations:

1. Property Descriptions:
If a property's condition deviates significantly from the initially described state, negotiations on pricing will be necessary, don't be shy to do this!

2. Show Up Fee and Vendor Presence:
Implementing a show-up fee acknowledges the value of time and effort spent on site visits. Collaborating with vendors, especially in real estate packages, requires careful consideration of the additional services provided.

3. Selling Your Price:
Don't be afraid to see your worth and focus on building relationships through effective communication is vital. Attend realtor meetings, showcase before-and-after results, and emphasize the value of your services.

4. Pro Tips and Expertise:
Sharing professional tips, such as vacuuming before cleaning bathrooms, demonstrates expertise and attention to detail.
