With the truly, humbling success of CleanlyRun<\/strong><\/em> (formerly CleanGuidePro), we’ve received a lot of questions (from companies all over the world) about a variety of topics in the janitorial industry. Today I’d like to share one about Day Porter pricing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question: \u201cWhat’s the average hourly rate for a Day Porter nationwide?\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Keep it local:<\/strong>   All wages should be viewed at the local (versus national) level.  For example, a Day Porter in California or New York City isn’t going to be paid at the same rate as one in Georgia\u2026  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day Porters earn more:<\/strong>  Day Porter work is considered to be Specialty Work (which is addressed in Bid Creation Step 5 of our CleanlyRun<\/em> Janitorial Bidware<\/a><\/strong> system).  As a result, a Day Porter is paid at least 10% – 20% more per hour than a standard janitorial cleaner.  In addition, your profit markup (to your client) will be higher for this type of work, depending on the weekly usage of the Porter(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a Pricing Tip from the (Bid Creation Step 5) Specialty Work Screen for Porter work:  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CleanlyRun<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An excerpt from this (pop-up) Pricing Tip reads: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRICING GUIDELINES:<\/em><\/strong> Suggested competitive price range per porter hour provided is usually in the $17.00 – $23.00 per hour range. As a general rule, you’ll want to plan for a 25-50% profit markup after your total labor cost per hour, including taxes, supplies, etc.

PRICING TIP:<\/strong> Porter jobs requiring fewer hours per week, say 1 porter, 3 days per week, 3 hours per day would be on the higher end of the rate charged. Porter jobs requiring more hours per week, say 3 porters, 5 days per week, 8 hours per day, would be on the lower end of the rate charged.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope this helps!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
