Can someone help me. I want to know if anybody is in the cleaning business I need help with a quote.
The job consist of using floor scrubber and buffer and it takes 1.5-2 hrs for both. The job is required daily (5 days a week) and I wanted to know how much this would be worth. Can someone help me with this as I don't want to overbid but I also don't want to sell myself short and under bid. Please help

Are you saying that the total labor is 2 hours per day/5dys/week? Is this the total job, no other cleaning involved?

No this is part of the job but while I am working 1,5-2 hrs doing the scrubbing and buffing my partner is doing the other work like vaccuming,washing windows and cleaning washrooms.
The job for 1 person is 3 hrs a day 5 days a week but with 2 people it takes 1.5-2hrs max
Please help

Hi Stephan,

Many things affect pricing and in the end the decision is always yours. Competition, costs, profit, union/non-union, geographical area/urban/suburban, etc.

I can only give you a suggested range and what is going on in the Chicago Area (suburban).

If no 'special' cleaning is involved; stripping/refinishing, windows, carpet cleaning, blinds, light bulb changing, etc, you should be able to get between $975.00 to $1,100.00/month.

This is based upon 3 hours/day, 15 hours/week, or 65 hours/month.

Hope this helps Stephan let me know.
