Two janitorial quotes can differ by 40% for the same building. The gap is almost never the hourly rate — it is what the scope leaves out.
Compare scopes, not totals
Line up frequency, tasks per visit, consumables, and deep-detail rotations side by side. A cheaper quote that excludes supplies and quarterly details is the most expensive option by month six.
Fix the rate, fix the term
A flat monthly rate with the scope written into the contract protects both sides. Hourly billing rewards slow work; fixed pricing rewards efficient crews.
Ask for the switching plan
Most of our clients switch mid-cycle. A serious vendor walks the site, matches the scope, and starts on your next service date with zero gap in coverage.
Bring us a competing quote and we will map it against ours, line by line — even if you stay where you are.
