how much do i charge to clean a 2200sq ft home?

Answer 1

Enough to pay your expenses for materials and time, and still have some cash left over to put in the bank.

Answer 2

depends on how long it takes you to clean it...and depends on your area...here in FL it's $20 or more an hour with a 3-hour minimum. It's always better to state more hours than you need. The first time is the hardest so if you want to set up a contract and say you're go over it quickly the first time and then when you come there again you'll work on specific areas more.....but that you'll charge a certain fee and only stay so many hours per time, and charge a base fee. Use a contract. Have a start date, and an ending date as agreed to by both parties.

As you know, if you've been doing this a long time, your expenses are minimal...and that it usually takes a lot of elbow greese (hard work but few materials) to get a place clean.

Answer 3

In Houston, its usually about $60-$70 in a 2900 Sq Ft home. So, around $50 for 3 hours, should be good for 2200 Sq ft.

Answer 4

Hello 'amarro' :
Don't worry about the size of the house. If you are an honest, good worker , then , just charge an hourly rate that covers your expenses and , also, reflects a respectable rate for your honest efforts .

Answer 5

It depends on how messy the house is the 1st time you see it, and if they have pets or kids. Basically take a look at it & figure out how long it is going to take you to clean it (1st time will take the longest). $20-25 per hour is pretty normal

Answer 6

For the first time, set an hourly rate....say $10 to $15 per hour and then you can set a flat rate next time.
