The Quote Calculator That Actually Works

Here's a story you'll probably recognize:

Host posts a cleaning job. Says it's "just a quick turnover, maybe an hour max." You quote accordingly. Then you show up and it's a 4-bedroom house with pet hair everywhere, dishes in the sink, and mystery stains on the carpet.

Sound familiar?

I've been there. We've all been there.

The Problem with Pricing

Most of us price cleaning jobs the same way we order pizza - we guess and hope for the best.

"It's a 2-bedroom, so... $80?" "Looks clean in the photos, probably $60." "They seem nice, I'll give them a deal."

Then reality hits. What you thought was an hour turns into three. Your $20/hour rate just became $6.67/hour.

Why I Built the Quote Calculator

After getting burned on too many "simple" cleanings, I decided to do something about it.

I broke down exactly how long each part of a cleaning actually takes:

• Bedrooms: 8 minutes each

• Full bathrooms: 30 minutes each

• Kitchens: 30 minutes each

• Living rooms: 10 minutes each

Then I built a calculator that uses these real numbers instead of wishful thinking.

How to Use It (Takes 30 Seconds)

Go to SameDayTurn.com and scroll to the Quote Form.

Plug in the actual details:

• Number of bedrooms

• Number of bathrooms

• Square footage

• Any extras (laundry, dishes, etc.)

Hit calculate. Get a quote based on how long it actually takes, not how long you hope it takes.

But Here's the Real Game Changer

The calculator is just the starting point.

The bigger problem? Finding hosts who actually understand what quality cleaning costs. Hosts who don't expect miracles for $40.

That's why Same Day Turn is also a marketplace. Hosts post real jobs with real budgets. You apply to the ones that make sense. No bidding wars, no race to the bottom.

Direct contact. Fair prices. No platform taking a cut.
