Price Guide
2011 Service One LLC,. All rights reserved.
There are two major ways that carpet cleaning companies price their services. The
first is by the item; the other is by measuring. An example of item pricing is "3 rooms
for a $100" or "$29.95 per room". Item pricers are not interested in seeing the work
up front, but merely want to schedule the appointment. This enables them to get
their foot in the door. Once in your home, they may use several tecniques to increase
the price. Sometimes the price doesn't include furniture moving or there is an
addtional charge for pre-conditioning. Preconditioning is a fancy term for soap! This
way of doing business is called "bait and switch". They "bait" you with a low price
then "switch" to a higher one by selling additional services or products. Since they
are pricing by the room or item they must compensate for time by rushing the job.
These companies are focusing on increasing the "ticket price" rather than providing a
quality service. We price by the square foot. We will come to your location, measure
and provide you with a firm price. Since we are charging for each square foot
cleaned, we can clean each square foot properly without rushing. Customers are
often suprised at the amount of time we invest in each job. In the long run our
service costs less. The results are better, more thorough, and longer lasting. You are
getting what you pay for! Following is an outline of our pricing structure.
* Carpet cleaning: Residential $0.35- 0.60 per sq ft
* Commercial $0.10- 0.40 per sq ft
* Upholstery Cleaning $ 14.00- $20 per running foot (length)
* Tile Cleaning $0.50- $1.50 per sq ft
Final determination of price is based upon type of carpet, degree of soiling, and time
needed to process the job. We encourage our customers to use this outline to
measure and estimate cost. Use an average of the price ranges listed above. PLease
call for more info on pricing for any additional services we offer.
