The questions that matter are about scope and vetting, not just price.
A cleaning quote by itself does not tell you much. What is actually included, who is doing the work, what they bring, and how vetting was handled all matter more than the number, and most of that only surfaces if you ask directly.
Ask whether the company or individual carries liability coverage, and ask how they vet the people they send into homes — background checks, references, how long someone has worked with them. Do not take a claim at face value; ask for specifics, and treat a vague answer as information in itself.
Fridge and oven interiors, interior windows above reach, blinds, and walls are the items most often assumed to be included and most often not, unless arranged ahead of time. Get the list before the visit, not during it.
Some cleaners bring everything; others expect supplies, a vacuum, or specific products on-site. This varies by company and by cleaner, and assuming one way or the other is how a visit gets delayed or done with the wrong products on a surface.
Houses do not always match their quote. Ask what happens if the visit runs past the estimated time — whether it is billed by the additional time, cut short, or handled some other way — before it happens, not while it is happening.
For recurring service, consistency matters. Ask whether you will get the same person or team each visit, or whether it rotates, and how that affects the quality and pace of the work.
Carpet cleaning as a standalone service, junk removal and hauling, and general handyman repairs are not standard parts of a house cleaning visit. If you need any of those, ask to be pointed to the right service rather than assuming a cleaner will handle it.
