This is one of the top questions we get. The truth is, it can vary A LOT. Here are a few variables to consider when deciding whether you are getting a fair price.
1. Quality
– The old adage applies here: You get what you pay for. Quality commercial cleaning companies tend to charge more than low-quality ones. Better employees take longer to find, have a longer training process, and tend to be paid more. However, not every office cleaning company that charges a lot is of good quality. Here is an article about some questions to ask to make sure they are a good fit for you.
2. Job difficulty
– Some buildings and tasks may require a more difficult job than others. It comes down to how much time it takes to do the job you need or how the task is being done. Distance is also a factor in job difficulty. Every minute an employee is in transit to and from a job is also time that the company and employees are not earning a living.
3. Location
– As with anything, different cities have different average costs when it comes to janitorial services. Below is a very rough graph of what your local commercial cleaning company might charge in relation to other cities for full-time cleaning staff for the day shift.
NOTE – this does not take into consideration the factors outlined above. It is just a very rough estimate for what you may pay.
The bottom line: as with any large investment, do your homework. Ask the right questions and use your instincts and you will end up with a great partner to be a large contributor to a quality business operation.
