Frequently asked questions

What should a cleaning invoice include?

Your business details, the client, the service date, the type of clean, add-ons, the total and how to pay. For recurring clients, include the visit dates covered by the invoice.

How do I bid a commercial cleaning job?

Walk the site, measure the cleanable area, set the frequency, estimate hours per visit and price monthly. Add supplies, consumables and special tasks such as floor waxing as separate lines.

Is an estimate legally binding?

Generally, no. An estimate is an approximation. It becomes part of a binding agreement when the customer signs and accepts it, and many contractors attach their contract terms at that point. Rules vary by state and country.

How long should an estimate be valid?

Thirty days is common. Use a shorter window when material prices are volatile.

Can I turn an estimate into an invoice?

Yes. With a free HardHat Quote account you can save the estimate, and on Pro you can convert an approved estimate into an invoice in one click.
