Property size and room count
Square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, levels, and the number of work areas help a provider estimate staffing and time. Layout and actual condition matter alongside size.
Condition and requested depth
Routine upkeep differs from accumulated buildup, moving, turnover, or construction dust. Detailed tasks and specialty surfaces can change the scope.
Frequency and access
Repeat service may have a different workflow from a one-time job. Parking, elevators, stairs, keys, security procedures, pets, and restricted service windows can also affect planning.
Included supplies and specialty work
Clarify supplies, equipment, appliance interiors, windows, carpet cleaning, and post-construction debris. Compare written checklists rather than relying on invented statewide averages.
