Compare on employment model, inspection, documentation and recourse — not on who answers the phone fastest.
Comparison in this market is difficult because everyone describes the same service in the same words. The differences that matter are structural and are rarely on the website.
Below is the frame we would use ourselves if we were the ones buying.
What to check
- Employment: directly employed crews, or a marketplace of subcontractors
- Scoping: an inspection with a written scope, or a figure over the phone
- Breadth: one company for cleaning, AC, MEP and finishing, or four contractors
- Documentation: photographs and a completed checklist, or nothing
- Recourse: a stated window to put things right, or goodwill
