Jobber set up for janitorial and common area cleaning, by someone who sells it.
Janitorial work has its own products, its own recurring rhythm, and its own ways to lose money in Jobber. We set up the account the way a janitorial dispatcher and estimator actually need it. It starts with a 10-minute call.
Three things we fix in most janitorial accounts
Every trade breaks Jobber in its own way. These are the ones we see most for janitorial companies.
Crews checking in on paper, so the manager has no proof and the company has no labor data.
Turn cleans arriving by text with no unit number, so they are missed or double-booked.
Monthly contracts invoiced per visit, creating dozens of invoices the manager will not pay on time.
The line items a janitorial estimator should be picking from. Short, consistent units, real prices. Yours will look like this, with your numbers.
- Common area cleaning, monthly contract
- Trash room and chute cleaning
- Turnover clean, per floor plan
- Deep clean add-on
- Carpet cleaning, per unit
- Amenity space cleaning, per visit
How the recurring work is built
Recurring visits per property by frequency under a monthly contract, a request form for turn cleans, and crew check-in on every visit.
If you bill any management company or commercial account, this structure is the difference between one clean invoice and forty confusing ones. It is also what makes selling janitorial and common area cleaning to property managers possible at scale.

Read itJobber questions from janitorial companies
Straight answers. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
How should a janitorial company structure a monthly contract in Jobber?
Recurring visits per property at the contract frequency, with a fixed monthly invoice rather than per-visit billing. The crew checks in and out on the app and attaches photos, which becomes the proof the manager asks for.
Can Jobber handle turnover clean requests from the property?
Yes. A request form with the unit number, floor plan, and move-out date creates the job with the flat price, schedules it, and invoices on completion.
How long does a Jobber setup take for janitorial companies?
A clean new setup takes one to two weeks. A cleanup of an active account takes two to four weeks because we work around your live schedule. Either way it starts with a short interview and a 10-minute call about your account.
What does Jobber consulting cost for a janitorial company?
The simple setup is a flat $800. Add-ons are flat priced from $100 each, so you build what you need and skip what you do not. A few items depend on the size of your account and are hourly at $200, with the typical range shown. You know the price before anything starts.
