Why Los Angeles pricing sits above the national average

Los Angeles pricing sits 10-30% above the national average, similar to San Francisco and New York, largely due to California's higher cost of living and competitive insured-cleaner market. Many companies send two-person teams, which is reflected in a combined hourly rate rather than a single cleaner's wage.
Local note: California requires cleaning businesses with employees to carry workers' compensation insurance — ask whether your provider is an insured company or an independent individual, since liability protection differs significantly.
