Yes, recurring seasonal revenue. Atlanta pine pollen season (March-April) drives massive interior + exterior deep-cleaning demand. Quote post-pollen deep clean ($350-$1,500 per visit) as recurring seasonal revenue.
Yes, Atlanta has 500,000+ rental units. Landlords need 1-day to 3-day turnover cleaning between tenants. Quote per-apartment ($150-$550 for studio/1-bed, $300-$950 for 2-bed) at landlord portfolio rates.
$0.10-$0.30/sqft per visit for nightly cleaning of standard office space. Downtown Atlanta, Midtown, Buckhead, Perimeter drive demand. Annual contracts at 10-15% discount with quarterly invoicing. Major tenants (Coca-Cola, Delta, UPS, Home Depot, AT&T) drive premium commercial work.
Hourly rates are $25 to $55 in the US, £15-35 in the UK, A$30-60 in Australia, R80-250 in South Africa, and C$25-55 in Canada. Most experienced cleaners prefer fixed-price by home size because hourly invites time-padding disputes.
By the job for standard, deep, or end-of-tenancy cleans where the scope is known. By the hour only for ad-hoc tidying where the customer wants to direct work in real-time. Fixed-price protects both sides.
Most cleaners bring their own basic supplies (vacuum, mop, microfibre, eco-friendly products). Some hourly bookings use customer supplies. Always confirm on the quote so there is no on-arrival argument.
Two or three for regular weekly bookings. Pricing is fairly consistent in any one area. The bigger variables are insurance, vetting, and whether the same cleaner attends every visit (better) or a rotating team (cheaper but variable).
Yes. Public liability insurance covers breakages and damage; workers comp covers injury on your property. Hire only insured cleaners; the cost of an uninsured cleaner damaging a hardwood floor or a flat-screen TV wipes out years of savings.
