Post: Hiring uninsured contractors

This is from a post at a different forum - I feel applies.

If your contractors are not insured, licensed or do not have any of the other mandated paperwork more than likely the 2nd paragraph applies to them as well.

Post: Do you hire Cleaning Professionals?

What is expected from your cleaning service?

Do you consider them professionals? Are they licensed, insured? Have Workman’s Comp? Or do you hire “Truck Slammers”?

Do you/Are you willing to pay for a professional cleaning service?

On an average - Ex: 2000 sq ft’ home tenant leaves it is reasonable shape - I realize there are a lot of variables, but for all intent and purposes what is a reasonable amount you would pay a cleaning service?

Do you pay by the hour or by the sq ft?

Do you have a standard cleaning charge in your lease? Is this charge the set amount you are willing to pay for your professional cleaning service?

In the event of a “trashed” move out do you pay by the hour or by the job?

I own a pcc professional cleaning company. I have an opportunity to increase my business with rentals. I have no problems bidding and writing proposals for pcc work. I am however, unsure of how to charge or bid rentals.

You are the ones “paying” these services. Any help from your perspective can assist me with determining if rentals are another division I will be proceeding with.

Your profession has forums, books, classes etc….. to assist you with financial freedom, with do’s and don’ts; try to do market research on a opportunity that has had no “paper trail” – any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
