this one lady asked me to clean her tenants apartment, and i dont know what to charge, so i said $10, she said it would probally take 2-3 hrs to finish. do yu think i should call her back and ask her to see the apartment first and then give her a different price if i see its too dirty? At first she told me $8 so i said $10. Or do you think its too late to change my mind about the price if i see the apartment is really dirty?

It depends on how old you are. Considering it's less than minimum wage, $10 would be appropriate for a teenager.
I would charge per hour, instead of set a price for the whole project, especially when you haven't even seen it. If you are over 18, charge whatever minimum wage is in your state. If you have a lot of experience, charge a little more. But don't give any more estimate without seeing the project.

Well, if she thinks you can do it in 2-3 hours I would doubt it to dirty. But 2-3 hours or work at $10/hour is only $20-$30 so you have to ask yourself how much you need the money. I probably would have asked for $50 flat unless the apartment was a total wreck and then it would be $100 flat.

It's never too late to change a price before the work is done. Keep in mind professional cleaning companies charge close to 27$ an hour per maid. An inspection is almost necessary before a quote. Good luck

I clean at a fish market on Long Island, New York and I get paid 7 dollars an hour so I think $10 sounds good and if the place is really dirty you will probably be cleaning it longer than what's expected.

you have a verbal contract. If it takes you longer than 3 hours do ask for more money but she does not have to pay you more Im sorry you should really see the apartment first then quote a price good luck

Are you joking? This woman is ripping you off. That does not even cover cleaning supplies and gas money to get there. Forty bucks is your price

Too late now, contract is a contract.
