A Flat rate package estimate, is a estimate given to the client online or by phone. Where it includes all bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, family rooms, and the kitchen (including the oven, refrigerator and microwave) to the total cost amount. At this moment we should have a book online Flat rate package form, where it will ask you how many bedrooms and bathrooms you have within your home. Once including that information, it should inform you the cost amount for that package.

The client can not insert the wrong amount of bedrooms and bathrooms their home has. For example, if the home has 5 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms, but the client picked the option of 4 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. Then the package will be denied to the client. The only task that is not included to the package is windows/blinds. They are extra services, and to get an estimate on windows/blinds, you must call us to get a quote.

Best recommended due to this type of situation is by getting the Customized Flat rate.

A Customized Flat rate estimate is a estimate given to the client online or by phone. Where the client decides what areas to include. It is not available online, you can only get a Customized Flat rate estimate by calling us or if available setting up an appointment.

If the client has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, but only wants to include 1 bedroom, and 3 bathrooms with the kitchen no oven/refrigerator, then the Customized Flat rate estimate if for you.

If you would like to include all areas of your home then it is best recommended to get the Flat rate package.

The Hourly service is a down step and an upgrade from the Flat rate. The Hourly service is able to offer you to choose what you would like with no additonal charges (aka. windows/blinds/carpet shampoo/outside work can not be included to the Hourly service). For example, the Hourly service can offer you the flexibility to get basic or deep cleaning to the tasks you ask the team to clean. You may ask the team to do; bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, oven, refrigerator, microwave, and you can ask for organization to your closets or cabinets inside your kitchen. That would be the upgrade to the Hourly service, which is why its very flexible to your needs.

The down side about the Hourly service is that since its by hour and not by task. We do not gurantee all tasks and areas you choose will be fully completed, we also will not be able to send the crew back if you file a complaint about an Hourly service. Why? Because we didn't charge you to complete the areas and tasks you decided to have, we only charged you for the time you decided to have.

When getting the Hourly service, you decide on the amount of time it is needed to complete the tasks. Within the hourly service our minium to book is 3 hours of cleaning. We highly recommend to book for 4 to 6 hours of cleaning depending on the size of the home (if you are getting a estimate with two team members only), if your looking for a deep full house cleaning.

If you choose to get for example 5 hours of cleaning with two team members, but they only complete 3 hours of cleaning on the day of the cleaning. Then we will only charge you the 3 hours, but if the client gets 3 hours of cleaning but on the day of the cleaning wants to add one or two more hours of cleaning. Your request will be denied due to other clients after you.

The Flat rate service (aka Flat rate package estimate/Customized Flat rate estimate), is a service where we give you a price to complete the areas of your home. The price includes for the crew to complete the areas, and once the areas are completed. The team will wait for the client to check the property, once the property is checked and everything looks good, the client will then pay the team if they haven't already. The best thing about the Flat rate service is that if the client was not able to be there on the day of the cleaning, they will have a maximum of 24 hours to be able to file a complaint. If the client files the complaint within 24 hours after the services have been completed. The team will be assigned to return to complete the areas which where missed on the day of the cleaning.

The Hourly service, is service where you decide on the amount of time you want the team to stay. The cost amount won't change unless you include windows/blinds or if you added extra hours to your total amount. We do not return to the property, if areas were not completed on the day of the cleaning. The price is cheaper because its not giving you the safty net like how the Flat rate is set up. Highly recommeded to look into Flat rate estimates if your looking for a price to fit your needs and not your budget or flexibility to your needs.

Depends on the type of service. If the client has chosen Hourly services, usually the client only gets two team members unless they pay extra for another team member to be added within their service. If the client has chosen a Flat rate service, there will always be two team members assigned to the client, and either if home is in a very bad condition/the size of the home is above 2500sqft that could also cause the client to have more than two crew members within their service.
