1400 sq. ft.

[Linda]

Hey everyone

I have someone wanting a price on a 3 bdrm. 1 bath 1400 sq. ft. 1 story. 1 inside cat (35 lbs ) Older couple, no kids living in house. Both work full time. Initial and then wkly cleaning. They live about 20 minutes from me. No-one will be home during cleaning.
I am thinking $125.00 for initial and then $70.00 for wkly. clean. If asked for Bi-wkly then $80.00 Monthly $90.00

Does this sound fair? Nice guy, co-worker.

Thanks,
Linda

Those prices sound fair to me. I always try to bid so my prices land somewhere in the average between our local market $15-$25 per hour. I have never under or over bid, but bidding this way has weeded out the clients shopping for a "free" or minumum wage cleaner.
I clean a house that size for $65 (house is "cleaned" before I get there!) weekly and also do some snow removal for the same client.

Good luck. Happy holidays!

That sounds about right for that size of home. But we usually charge 150.00 for initial. If the home is in good shape, then 125.00 sounds reasonable.
Your getting good at the estimates Linda

Thanks Patti, I've been doing alot of studying in that area lol. I talked to him yesterday and gave him the price and a list of what I would do. I am hoping to hear from him today when I get to work. He wanted to show his wife and go from there. Hopefully I get the account. So far he's interested in a wkly clean.
