Frequently Asked Questions

How can I prevent 'scope creep' when a client asks for extra tasks mid-clean?

Clearly itemize every included task in your estimate and include a 'Change Order' clause that outlines the hourly rate for any additional requests made on-site.

Is it professional to ask for a deposit before I start cleaning?

Absolutely; requiring a deposit through your estimate confirms the client's commitment and protects your revenue against late-notice cancellations.

What should I do if a home is in worse condition than the estimate assumed?

Include a 'Baseline Condition' clause stating that the price is an estimate based on client description, and reserves the right to adjust fees if the actual labor time exceeds a set threshold.
