An estimate is a written price you are offering before the work starts. The two things that decide whether it wins the job are how clearly it describes the scope and how obviously it expires.
What a contractor estimate should contain
- Your business details and license number where required
- The customer name and the job address
- An estimate number and the date you wrote it
- A valid until date, because prices move and you should not be held to a number from six months ago
- Scope in plain language, line by line, so the customer knows what is and is not included
- What is explicitly excluded, which is the line that prevents most disputes
- Subtotal, tax, any deposit required to book the work, and the total
What goes on a cleaning service estimate
These are the lines a cleaning job usually needs. They are already in the template and in the generator, so you edit rather than start from an empty page.
- Deep clean, whole home
- Recurring clean, per visit
- Interior windows and tracks
- Oven and refrigerator interiors
- Supplies and equipment
Delete what does not apply, add what does. The point is that a customer looking at an itemized cleaning estimate can see where the money went, which is what stops the argument before it starts.
Cleaning is priced by the visit, by the hour or by the size of the home. The template keeps the first deep clean and the recurring visit on separate lines because they are not the same amount of work, and a customer who sees one price for both will expect the deep clean every time.
What to settle before the Cleaning estimate goes out
Say what a standard visit includes and what costs extra. Oven and refrigerator interiors and inside windows are on their own lines here because they are add ons, and spelling them out stops a customer assuming they came with the visit.
