Click to see our award today!Let’s be honest—every service business has heard it:👉 “Can you do it cheaper?”
👉 “My cousin’s neighbor’s friend said they’d do it for half that.”
👉 “It’s just cleaning… how hard can it be?”Here’s the thing: when you try to lowball a professional, we’re smiling politely on the outside—but on the inside? Oh, we’re definitely having some thoughts.
When customers ask for a professional-level clean at bargain-bin prices, it’s like asking a steakhouse to serve you filet mignon for the price of a fast-food burger. Spoiler: you’re not getting the same experience.
Cleaning takes time, tools, and products. If you cut the budget in half, we’re left wondering… do you want us to clean half the bathroom? Only vacuum every other room? Dust on Tuesdays only? Lowballing equals shortcuts, and shortcuts equal disappointment.
When you lowball, you’re not just asking us to drop a number—you’re asking us to devalue years of skill, investment, and hard work. Would you accept half your paycheck if your boss asked nicely? Exactly.
You might save a few bucks today, but guess what? You’ll probably pay double later to fix the mess. It’s like hiring the lowest-bid mechanic for your car—when the wheels fall off, suddenly that ‘deal’ doesn’t feel so great.
When clients pay fairly, they get our best: quality work, reliable scheduling, and long-term trust. When clients lowball, well… let’s just say those are the ones who mysteriously find themselves “booked out” for months.
Lowballing might feel clever in the moment, but in reality? It’s a fast track to stress, poor quality, and awkward conversations. Professionals price their work for a reason—because we know what it takes to do the job right.So the next time you’re tempted to haggle your cleaner down to pennies, remember: you don’t get five-star service for a one-star budget. 😉
