Free cleaning service estimate template

What goes on a cleaning estimate

A cleaning estimate needs the walkthrough, who brings the supplies, add-ons priced one by one, and what the price leaves out. Those are the lines this template adds to the scope, materials, timeline, labor and terms any estimate has (explained in what a service estimate needs), and each is explained below in the order it appears on the estimate.

1. 1

   A walkthrough before the price

   Walkthrough Done, on the date above

   Walk through the home before you quote. Square footage alone does not capture clutter or condition, and two homes of the same size can take very different hours. The sample records it as a job detail — “Walkthrough: done, on the date above” — so the customer knows the price is for their home as you saw it, not for a count of bedrooms.

2. 2

   Who brings the supplies

   Supplies We bring them Customer provides

   Say who brings the cleaning supplies. Some customers want their own products used; others expect you to bring everything. The answer changes your costs and what the customer expects on the day. The sample ticks “We bring them”, and the supplies appear as their own line in the materials, so the customer sees what they add to the price.

3. 3

   Move-out, post-construction and weekly, as ranges

   ProjectsPrice range

   Move-out deep clean

   3-bed/2-bath home — all rooms, appliances inside/out, windows, baseboards, cabinets

   Low to high depends on the clutter and condition

   $350–$550

   Quote each kind of clean on its own line, as a range. The cleaning sample prices a move-out deep clean of a 3-bed/2-bath home at $350–$550, a post-construction clean of 2,500 sq ft at $500–$900, and weekly recurring service at $120–$200 a visit. What moves the move-out price is the clutter and the condition of the home, which is why the walkthrough is recorded above it.

4. 4

   Add-ons, priced one by one

   Also quoted · a separate job

   First visit, with add-ons

   Labor$350.00

   Materials$27.00

   This job$377.00

   Price the extras one by one — the inside of the oven, the refrigerator interior, laundry — so the customer picks what they want and the base clean stays comparable with anyone else’s. The second job on this sample is a first visit itemized that way: $350.00 of labor and $27.00 of materials, $377.00 in all, each add-on on its own line.

5. 5

   What the price leaves out

   5.Does not include exterior windows or garage.

   Say what the price leaves out. A customer who books a clean may picture the garage and the outside of the windows; writing “Does not include exterior windows or garage.” settles it before the visit, not at the door. List the exclusions that come up most often in the homes you clean, and offer them as add-ons instead.

6. 6

   The booking, signed

   2.A 50% deposit is required to schedule the work.

   Deposit received $ on

   Customer signature & date

   Contractor signature & date

   A signed cleaning estimate is the booking. The sample’s terms ask half to schedule — $188.50 of the $377.00 first visit — and its exclusion, “Does not include exterior windows or garage.”, sits among them, so it is agreed before the visit rather than at the door. For a move-out clean, add any premium for heavy buildup, pets or a tight deadline before the customer signs.
