A question homeowners may not think to ask before hiring a cleaning company:
What happens if someone gets hurt on your property?
For example, if a cleaner slips and falls in your driveway, on your porch, or inside your home while working, that injury does not just disappear.
If the company has proper workers’ compensation coverage, that is usually where the employee injury claim starts. Workers’ comp helps protect the employee, the business, and the client from an already stressful situation becoming even messier.
But if a company is not properly insured, does not carry workers’ comp, or is paying people under the table, the situation can become much more complicated.
The injured person may have no clear coverage through the company and. the homeowner’s insurance could get pulled into the claim. Even if the homeowner did nothing wrong, it can still become stressful, expensive, and frustrating.
That is why “licensed and insured” should not just be a phrase on a Facebook post.
Before hiring someone to work in your home, it is reasonable to ask:
• Do you carry general liability insurance?
• Do you carry workers’ compensation coverage?
• Can you provide a certificate of insurance?
• Are the people coming into my home employees?
• Do you background check your team?
• Do you have systems in place if an accident happens?
At Fleming’s Cleaning Co., we take these things seriously because protecting our clients and our team matters.
We are licensed, insured, carry workers’ compensation coverage, background check our employees, and use professional systems for scheduling, communication, and documentation.
This is not a scare tactic. It is about helping homeowners know what to ask before letting anyone into their home.
A cheaper clean is not always cheaper if there is no protection behind it.
