C&C Cleaning Services offers insight on quoting process

- First, contact our office to inquire about a specific service. We offer a variety of services such as house cleaning, janitorial, window cleaning, and carpet cleaning.
- Based on your needs we may need to send a quote specialist to your home or business for an on-site consultation.
- At this point, you would be given a flat rate price for either a deep cleaning or recurring service.
It's that easy!
