Check the arithmetic
- Bathroom cleaning: 2 each × C$160.00 = C$320.00.
- Living and bedroom cleaning: 3 rooms × C$120.00 = C$360.00.
The rounded line amounts add to C$1,739.00. The PDF's tax field is 0%, so its illustrated total stays C$1,739.00 before any markup. The sample shows 0% tax only to make the arithmetic visible. Determine any applicable GST, HST or PST and markup for the actual work before sharing a quote.
Measurement to verify: Count rooms, bathrooms, appliances and window units; record condition before pricing. Product decision: Separate standard clean from optional oven, carpet or stain treatments.
Count the actual units, site visits and selected products separately. A count in this example is a document input, not a substitute for inspecting the real property.
Assumptions and exclusions
Arrange vacancy access and a documented handoff inspection.
Outside this example: No repairs, pest treatment or hazardous waste removal.
Heavy residue, abandoned belongings or mould require a different cleaning scope. Inspect the existing substrate, access and product selections at the property. Check any local trade or municipal requirements that apply and record unresolved conditions before preparing the final client document. Confirm a change and update the estimate before adding work that was not in the base scope.
