Method Clean Biz, and the one number on its bid calculator
Method Clean Biz is in this record for a different reason from the others. Its bid calculator is built for contractors pricing their own work, and the figure it prints is a loaded labour rate: what an hour of cleaning costs the company once payroll burden is on it. That is not what a buyer pays, and the gap between the two is the thing worth understanding.

Where this company works
Coverage is recorded only where the company's own site evidences it, and every rate is quoted from the company's own page. A company absent from a market here has not been judged unable to serve it; nothing on its own pages said that it does.

Why a cost is not a price
A loaded labour rate is wages plus the employer's share of payroll taxes, insurance and workers' compensation. Every customer price in this record has to sit above it, and the distance between them is supervision, equipment, consumables, overhead and margin.
Seeing the cost side printed is useful to a buyer for one specific purpose: it gives you a floor. A bid close to a loaded labour rate is not a bargain, it is a bid that has not accounted for something, and the thing usually missing is supervision.
Reading a contractor tool as a buyer
The rest of this calculator is production-rate arithmetic: how many square feet an hour a cleaner covers, and therefore how many hours a building needs. That is the calculation behind every square foot rate on this site, and it is why frequency and building type move prices as much as they do.
