Why these exist

Most cleaning questions have straight answers that nobody writes down, because vague answers generate phone calls. We’d rather you walk into any quote — ours or a competitor’s — already knowing what things cost, what’s included, and what the checklists check. Informed clients make the best long-term clients, and long-term clients are the whole business.
