Priced the way House Cleaning work is billed
A standard clean and a recurring maintenance clean don't get quoted the same way, so why would every trade? SideWRK prices House Cleaning the way the work is really billed: off a per-service menu (e.g. standard clean $150, deep clean $300). Tap the work, put in the numbers, and the line prices itself — no napkin math, no undercharging a job because you rushed the quote.
What moves a House Cleaning price
Two House Cleaning jobs that look the same on paper can be a hundred dollars apart once you're on site. Here's what actually changes the number — the things to size up before you quote:
- Standard vs deep — the first deep clean isn't the recurring maintenance clean and shouldn't be priced like one.
- Size and condition — square footage, the number of bathrooms, and how lived-in the home is all move the number.
- Frequency — weekly and monthly aren't the same per-visit price, because the gap fills back up.
What a House Cleaning job puts on the record
Every trade documents something different, and House Cleaning is no exception. SideWRK captures the beds, baths, and square footage and the rest of what your work needs on the record — the details that protect you and make the invoice stand up:
- the beds, baths, and square footage
- the service plan — weekly, biweekly, monthly
- whether there are pets
- a key and alarm-code confidentiality note
Example note on a job: "Pre-existing stains and wear noted — advised they may not fully clean."

Staying on the right side of the rules
SideWRK documents your House Cleaning work — it doesn't make you licensed, and it says so plainly.

The app flags the permit and license triggers so they never surprise you mid-job.
