How to structure a carpet cleaning quote
Carpet cleaning estimates work best when they separate the base room price from stain treatments and optional protection. That keeps the client from feeling surprised.
- Number of rooms, hallways, landings, and stair steps.
- Stain treatment, pet odor treatment, deodorizer, and protectant.
- Minimum trip fee, furniture moving, and parking or access notes.
- Clear disclaimer that severe stains may not be fully removable.
