Floor Cleaning Pricing in Houston

Maddox quotes every floor-cleaning job individually, from a $500 minimum visit, within one business day. Each quote is a single figure that includes chemistry, pads, and after-hours scheduling. Per-square-foot rates are not published because floors of the same size vary widely in condition.

Pricing factors

What determines the price

Six factors determine the quote. Providing them up front produces a faster and more accurate figure.

01

Square footage

Square footage is the largest factor. Mobilization and setup cost the same for any floor, so the cost per square foot falls as the floor grows.

02

Open versus racked area

Open floor costs the least per square foot to scrub. Racked aisles, equipment, and fixtures require hand-finished edges and are priced accordingly.

03

Soil load

Dust is the fastest condition to remove. Forklift tire marks require chemistry made for rubber and more time on the floor, and oil-soaked concrete requires a degreaser and more time still.

04

First scrub versus maintenance

A floor that has never been machine-scrubbed carries years of buildup. The first scrub is the most expensive visit, and each visit after it costs less.

05

Frequency

Recurring programs are priced per visit at a fixed rate below the one-time rate, with month-to-month terms after the first 90 days.

06

Scheduling

Nights, weekends, and between-shift windows are standard scheduling and carry no surcharge.

Scope

What every quote includes

  • A walkthrough or photo review and a written scope
  • Equipment, pads, and brushes selected for the floor
  • Cleaning chemistry selected for the soil
  • After-hours, weekend, or between-shift scheduling
  • Recovery-water disposal to the sanitary drain you designate
  • Edge and detail work along walls, racking, and fixtures
  • Before-and-after photos and a note on slab condition
Method

Why quotes are per job

Two floors of the same size can require very different work. An open, sealed slab with light dust may be a three-hour visit, while a racked, unsealed floor with years of tire marks and oil at the dock apron may be a two-day project. A single published rate would either overcharge the first or underprice the second, so each floor is quoted on its own conditions.

The cost guide explains the factors in more detail and describes what a complete quote should include.

FAQ

Pricing questions

How much does commercial floor scrubbing cost?
Floor scrubbing is quoted per job from a $500 minimum visit rather than at a published per-square-foot rate, because floors of the same size vary widely in condition. The price depends on square footage, the proportion of open versus racked or furnished floor, soil load, whether the floor has been machine-scrubbed before, and the service frequency. Recurring programs are priced below one-time deep scrubs. See the pricing page.
How quickly is a quote returned?
Within one business day for most jobs. Square footage, floor type, and a photo are usually sufficient to quote without a visit; occupied buildings and heavily soiled floors are walked before the quote is finalized.
Is the quote the final price?
Yes. The quote is a single figure that includes chemistry, pads, and after-hours scheduling. If the walkthrough identifies a condition that changes the scope, it is discussed before work begins.
Is there a surcharge for nights or weekends?
No. Nights, weekends, and between-shift windows are standard scheduling.
How is payment handled?
Cash, card, check, or ACH on completion for one-time jobs, and monthly invoicing for programs and janitorial. Net-30 terms are available for established contractor and property-management accounts.
