Flat rates by home size are easier to sell than hourly pricing and reward you for getting faster. Build them from labor hours, not guesses.
Time a few cleans of each size. Count total labor: a two-person crew finishing in two hours is four hours of labor.
With $28/hour pay, 15% overhead, 20% margin, and $5 travel per clean:
| Service | Labor hours | Supplies | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard clean, 1-2 bedroom | 2.5 | $6 | $120 |
| Standard clean, 3 bedroom | 3.5 | $8 | $160 |
| Deep clean, 3 bedroom | 7 | $15 | $315 |
| Move-in / move-out | 8 | $18 | $360 |
Weekly and biweekly homes take less time per visit and fill your schedule predictably. A 10% to 15% recurring discount is common, but run the numbers before offering it.
Inside the oven, inside the fridge, and interior windows are easy upsells when they are listed with prices.
