Quick answer: Compare janitorial quotes by scope, visit frequency, what is included, contract terms and price. A lower price often means a smaller scope, so ask every company to quote the same written scope.
The lowest janitorial quote is not always the lowest cost. Quotes often cover different rooms, tasks or visit days, so compare the work first and the price second.
Compare the same rooms
Check that every quote includes the same areas. A quote that skips restrooms or the breakroom will look cheaper because it does less.
Compare the same tasks
Look at the task list line by line. Does it include vacuuming, mopping, trash, restroom restocking and interior glass? If a quote only gives a number and no list, ask for the list.
Compare visit days and hours
Three visits a week and five visits a week are different jobs. Confirm the days and the time window.
Ask what is not included
Ask for exclusions in writing. Extras such as carpet cleaning, floor polishing and window cleaning are often priced separately.
Check insurance and contract terms
Ask for proof of insurance and for the notice period to cancel. Read how price changes are handled.
Ask who to call
You want one phone number that gets answered when something is missed. Check the hours it is answered and the usual reply time.
