How commercial janitorial contracts are priced in the West Metro. What drives cost and how to evaluate a quote.
Commercial janitorial contracts in the Wayzata market are priced per visit, per square foot, or as a monthly flat fee. Which method a contractor uses matters less than whether the scope is documented and the price holds. We quote as a monthly flat fee tied to a written scope. If the scope changes, the price changes. If it does not change, the price does not change.
| Factor | Effect on Price |
|---|---|
| Square footage | Larger spaces take longer. This is the most direct driver of cleaning cost. |
| Number of restrooms | Restrooms are the most labor-intensive area per square foot. Count matters more than overall size for some buildings. |
| Floor types | Hard floors (VCT, tile, concrete) require different equipment and technique than carpet. Mixed facilities cost more to clean than single-surface buildings. |
| Cleaning frequency | Nightly service costs more per month than three-night service. The per-visit unit cost goes down at higher frequency; the monthly total goes up. |
| Access and scheduling constraints | Facilities that require daytime cleaning, security escort, or limited-window access cost more than facilities where the crew can work a standard overnight shift. |
| Add-on services | Day porter coverage, periodic floor stripping, and window cleaning are priced separately and added to the base janitorial contract. |
We do not publish per-square-foot rates because they do not account for the variables above. A 5,000 sq ft office with two restrooms and carpet throughout prices differently than a 5,000 sq ft dental suite with six operatories, a lab, and hard floors throughout. Quoting a rate without knowing the building would not serve you or us.
The quote process: submit your facility details using the form below, we walk through the specifics with you in a brief call, and we return a written quote within one business day of that call. The quote specifies the scope, the frequency, and the monthly price. No line items that change after you sign.
If you are evaluating multiple janitorial contractors, compare quotes on these points. A quote that does not address all of them will likely produce surprises after the contract starts.
