Been in cleaning for 5 years now, and I always start with Jobber's contract templates for my residential gigs. They cover everything from cancellation fees to damage clauses, and I've saved myself at least $500 in lost revenue from no-shows. Pro tip: customize the liability section to protect against pet hair disasters or whatever BS clients throw at you.

What kinda cancellation fees do you set in those Jobber templates?

Usually 50% if they bail within 24 hours, but I bump it to full rate for same-day no-shows.

Do the Jobber templates handle recurring cleanings well, or do you add your own riders?

Ugh, had a client try to weasel out of a deep clean payment last week, wish I'd locked in a better agreement upfront. These templates sound solid, gonna check em out.

Same, got burned on a $300 job because my contract was too vague. Don't wait like I did.

Screw these clients who think they can ghost after a spotless house. Every cleaner should have ironclad contracts or we're all getting screwed on payments.

Watch out with those templates, one time I used a generic one and it didn't cover supply costs, ended up eating $200 in materials on a hoarder job. Always double-check for cleaning-specific add-ons like eco-friendly product clauses.

those generic templates are a total scam, set up to screw us small guys out of our hard-earned cash on supplies. homeowners love twisting words to dodge paying, and jobber could care less if we're left holding the bag.
