Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Person-Hours and Crew Clock Time?
Person-Hours (man-hours) is the total labor time for payroll and pricing. If a job requires 4.0 person-hours and you send a 2-person crew, the crew finishes on-site in 2.0 clock hours.
What are standard room square footage estimates if I haven't measured?
Living rooms average 200–400 sq ft, kitchens 100–250 sq ft, bedrooms 150–300 sq ft, and bathrooms 40–80 sq ft.
Why include a Property Type Setup Buffer?
Unloading vacuums and caddies, walking stairs, and moving between rooms takes 15 to 35 minutes on every visit.
