Sometimes people see the price of a cleaning service… and think it’s expensive.
But here’s what they don’t see 👇
Behind every contract, a professional company takes on real costs:
✔️ Fair wages — $15 to $18 per hour per employee, depending on role and project
✔️ Insurance (4 to 5 policies required to operate) — over $10,000 per year
✔️ Supplies, equipment, and maintenance — minimum $500 monthly
✔️ Rent / operational space — minimum $1,200 monthly
✔️ Licenses, taxes, and legal compliance — $1,000 to $5,000 annually
✔️ Accounting services — minimum $400 monthly + administrative time
✔️ Transportation, gas, and vehicle wear — $300 to $1,500 monthly
✔️ Uniforms and team presentation — starting at $200 per employee
✔️ Marketing, advertising, and website — minimum $300 monthly
✔️ Administrative time and staff training — non-billable hours every week
✔️ Supervision and quality control — ongoing operational time
This is not just cleaning…
This is physical work, discipline, structure, and responsibility.
It’s showing up, doing the job right, and delivering consistency every time.
When you invest in a professional service,
you’re not just paying for a result —
you’re valuing the work, the people, and everything it takes to do it right.
