Insurance costs in Georgia
Our lowest bound general liability policy for house cleaning businesses is $200/yr, a policy we wrote for a house cleaning business in North Carolina. That is our lowest real price, not an average or a Georgia rate. Your price usually goes up with sales, payroll, the type of work you do and claims.
Prepare annual receipts, payroll, hired-cleaner costs, customer types and claims. Separate routine housekeeping from carpet treatment, elevated windows, post-construction work or specialist remediation.
Compare customer-property wording, any sublimit and deductible, exclusions for poor work, key-related protection and requested limits. A lower GL premium is not a like-for-like comparison if the property you clean has different protection.

Coverage questions to review
Ask specifically about the item or surface being cleaned, property in your care and any customer-property extension. Confirm sublimits and exclusions.
Review employee injuries separately from GL. Ask about lost keys, theft-related requirements and any bond the customer requests; these are not interchangeable protections.
Discuss equipment used between homes and business driving, including customer property transported for cleaning.
What to check in Georgia
State resources checked . Confirm current requirements with the linked agencies.
Include regular part-time staff in the review
Georgia’s Board says businesses regularly employing three or more people generally need coverage; regular part-time staff and corporate officers or LLC members affect the count.
Georgia SBWC: workers’ compensation insurance FAQ →Prepare a scope for the actual household job
For a regular route, list who has access to keys or alarm codes, how substitute cleaners are assigned and whether the customer contracts with you or another business. Submit that arrangement with receipts and payroll.
Compare the property-damage wording, not just the GL limit
A cleaner can damage a countertop, floor finish or customer’s belongings without the whole loss fitting the headline liability limit. Ask to see any customer-property extension and its restrictions. The coverage guide below includes a specific proposal example, not a rule for every carrier.
A bond, certificate and policy do different jobs
Ask what the customer needs before buying a bond or requesting a certificate. A certificate does not add coverage, and a janitorial bond is not a replacement for reviewing accidental property-damage coverage.

Frequently asked questions
How much does house cleaning business insurance cost in Georgia?
Our lowest bound general liability policy for house cleaning businesses is $200/yr, a policy we wrote for a house cleaning business in North Carolina. That is our lowest real price, not an average or a Georgia rate. Your price usually goes up with sales, payroll, the type of work you do and claims.
What should I prepare for a Georgia house-cleaning quote?
Send the service menu, receipts, payroll, hired-cleaner costs, claims and any customer insurance requirements. Identify delicate surfaces, access arrangements and occasional specialist work.
Does general liability cover damage to the surface I clean?
Do not assume so. Damage to property being worked on or under your care can have exclusions or a separate extension with a lower limit. Ask about the actual surface, cleaning method, deductible, sublimit and poor-workmanship wording.
Does a janitorial bond replace liability insurance?
No. Ask what the particular bond covers and what the customer requires. A bond is not a substitute for accidental property-damage coverage.
Can I add short-term-rental turnovers to a household cleaning quote?
Disclose the turnovers, access arrangements, laundry or property handling and any work outside normal cleaning so the insurer can review it.
