I want to clean up rental homes and new construction homes. How much would you charge and how hourly or by job?

I am wanting to make my small business.

Charge by the size of the house. Room count, bath count, number of floors.


Always inspect a rental house before quoting since you won't know what you might face after a messy tenant trashes the place.


Most cleaning contractors include washing windows and doing lots of other jobs not typical of a weekly cleaning, so my suggestion would be to start every job with a base price of $350 for a full clean-up of a standard 8 room, 2.5 bath house. Anything such as hauling trash and construction debris should be extra.
Reply:I'm a landlord and if I were to hire you, I would want to pay a firm fixed bid price. More important, would be how fast you could get the unit move in ready , because if I have to keep the unit vacant for a month anyway, I'll do it myself, that is unless the tenant's security deposit is paying for it. Since normal cleaning is a landlord's responsibility if a unit needs a great deal of cleaning there is usually more than enough documented property damage to eat up the security deposit.
