FAQs
What does the pay structure look like?
Pay is percentage-based per completed job. Your rate is determined individually based on your experience, how consistently you retain clients, and the reviews you receive. Exact rates are discussed during the onboarding call once your application is approved.
What insurance do I need to carry?
You must have active business general liability insurance and workers' compensation insurance before accepting any jobs. These are non-negotiable requirements and are your responsibility as an independent contractor. Proof of coverage will be requested during onboarding.
Do I need to be incorporated?
No — sole proprietors are welcome to apply. You do need to be set up to receive independent contractor payments and handle your own tax obligations, including self-employment tax. We do not issue W-2s; subcontractors are issued a 1099 if applicable.
Will I know exactly what needs to be done at each job?
Yes. We provide a detailed job-specific checklist for every assignment so you know exactly what the scope covers. You handle the work however you see fit — our checklist defines the result, not the method.
What if the client provides their own cleaning products?
Most clients supply their preferred products, including eco-friendly options. We recommend keeping your own backup supplies on hand for situations where products are unavailable.
Can I build recurring clients through this partnership?
Yes — and it's one of the biggest advantages of working with us. Many first-time cleans turn into regular weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly appointments. Our clients prefer to have the same contractor return each visit, so if you deliver consistent results, you become the contractor we assign to service those recurring appointments. The more reliability you demonstrate, the more we prioritize referring you to those ongoing clients.
What happens if I have an emergency and can't make a job?
We understand that life happens. Just communicate with us as early as possible so we can make arrangements. We're reasonable — we simply ask for prompt notice so the client isn't left waiting. Consistent, last-minute cancellations without notice will affect the jobs referred to you going forward.
Am I required to accept every job referred to me?
No. As an independent contractor, you are not obligated to accept every job. You maintain control over your own schedule and workload. Contractors who consistently accept and complete jobs well do receive priority referrals.
Can I take on other clients or work with other companies?
Absolutely. You run your own business. You are free to work with other clients and companies simultaneously — this is an independent contractor arrangement, not an exclusive agreement.
Service Areas
We serve clients across the Chicagoland area. Subcontractors who can cover one or more of these areas are encouraged to apply.
