Make a house-cleaning quote define the visit
Agree on rooms, surfaces, access and exclusions so the cleaning customer and crew share the same expectations.
Name the areas included
Start with the rooms and tasks in this visit. Separate a first clean, recurring visit and requested extras instead of treating them as the same job. A clear list helps the customer choose and helps a helper know what has already been agreed.
Ask about surfaces and access
Record the surfaces or items that need special care, access instructions, pets and where the crew may park. Ask which products are permitted and follow product labels and qualified guidance. Do not make health, sanitation or material-safety promises that your agreed service cannot support.
Explain extra work before arrival
If interior appliances, windows, heavy item movement or other extras are outside the scope, make that visible. Give the customer a way to request an add-on and approve its price. The crew should not discover a different agreement only after arriving.
Use your own job costs
Estimate time from your assessed scope and your records. Enter labor cost, materials, markup and trip fee into the job-price calculator. Its gross-profit estimate does not deduct every business cost. Review actual time after completion and use it to improve your next estimate without inventing an average home or crew.
Keep recurring visits consistent
Carry useful notes into the next visit, but recheck instructions that may have changed. Record exceptions and customer requests in the job rather than relying on one worker’s memory. When you add a helper, give them the agreed checklist and the customer’s approved notes.
