Flexible Schedule

Jobs are assigned based on your availability and preferred service area. Morning person? Night owl? Take Fridays off? You decide.

Consistent Clients

We prioritize recurring cleans: weekly, biweekly, and monthly. Your calendar stays full with regular appointments from loyal clients.

Growth Opportunity

Earn a higher percentage as you build your track record. Top performers grow their income with every milestone.

Simple Partnership

We handle bookings, marketing, and client relationships. You're in business for yourself. We make it easier.

We Have Your Back

Not comfortable with a client? We reassign the job or let the client go. Your well-being is our top priority.

The Work

What You'll Actually Do

We're upfront about the work. Here are the types of cleaning jobs you'll take on.

Standard Clean

Regular recurring cleans for loyal clients. We offer weekly, biweekly, and monthly services. Most of your work will be this type.

First-Time Clean

A deeper reset for clients who haven't had their home professionally cleaned in at least thirty days. More thorough, higher pay.

Move In/Out Clean

Empty homes that need a full top-to-bottom clean, including inside the oven, cupboards, and fridge.

Commercial Cleaning

Offices, clinics, and building common areas, typically after-hours evening and weekend work. Consistent schedules, professional clients.

We also offer post-construction cleans and hourly jobs. Whether you prefer residential, commercial, or both, let us know and we'll match you accordingly.

Clear Boundaries

What We Don't Ask You to Do

We respect your limits. These are things we will never expect of you.

No heavy lifting. We never ask you to move refrigerators, stoves, or other large items

No working alongside other trades (plumbing, painting, moving crews)

No cleaning rodent or insect-infested homes

No dangerous high-reach tasks beyond what a step stool and telescopic tools can safely handle

No exterior window cleaning

No removing mould, smoke, or animal waste odours. We set honest expectations with clients upfront

If a client asks for something outside scope, contact us. We handle it so you don't have to.

FAQ

Contractor Questions

Common questions from people considering a partnership with NeatNow

How much do NeatNow contractors earn?

Residential contractors earn a competitive percentage of each job's flat-rate price. Commercial contractors earn a guaranteed hourly rate plus monthly quality bonuses. Both keep 100% of tips. Full details are discussed during onboarding.

Do I need to bring my own supplies?

For residential work, yes — you provide your own cleaning supplies and equipment (all-purpose cleaners, disinfectants, microfibre cloths, vacuum, mop, etc.). For commercial work, NeatNow provides all supplies and equipment.

Can I choose which jobs I take?

Absolutely. We offer jobs based on your availability and your preferred service area in Calgary. If you don't want to take a job, you're under no obligation to do so.

What happens if a client is unhappy with a clean?

NeatNow has a Satisfaction Guarantee. If a client is unsatisfied, the contractor returns to re-clean the areas in question at no additional charge. This policy helps us retain recurring clients, which benefits everyone.

What if I don't feel safe or comfortable with a client?

Your well-being is our top priority. If you're uncomfortable with a client for any reason, we reassign the job to another contractor, or let the client go entirely if they're unsafe.

What types of cleaning will I do?

Most jobs are standard recurring cleans (weekly, biweekly, or monthly). You may also do first-time deep cleans and move-in/out cleans. If you prefer certain types, like move-outs or post-construction work, let us know and we'll match you accordingly.

Do I need professional cleaning experience?

Professional experience is preferred but not required. We value motivated individuals with strong attention to detail and a professional attitude. All contractors receive our detailed service checklists.

How and when do I get paid?

Contractors are paid weekly via direct deposit. Residential pay is based on the flat-rate price of each completed job. Commercial pay is hourly. Tips are always kept in full.

Do I need my own insurance?

Yes. As an independent contractor, you'll need your own general liability insurance. A minimum of $2M coverage is recommended. This is standard practice for ICs in Alberta and protects you, your assets, and your clients. We'll cover the full details during onboarding, including recommended providers if you need one.
