House Cleaner - Independent Contractor (1099)

Refined Services Group is a well-established, locally owned home cleaning company that operates in Northern and Central New Jersey. Unlike many cleaning services that operate as franchises, Refined Services Group prides itself on its independent, customer-focused approach that emphasizes quality and reliability. Serving a broad client base, this company has built a solid reputation for delivering high-quality residential cleaning services. They specialize in a variety of cleaning jobs including routine cleans, deep cleans, and move-in/move-out cleans, thereby catering to a range of customer needs from everyday maintenance to specialized cleaning requirements. The company actively supports experienced independent cleaning contractors who can offer their expertise to meet the growing demand for their services. With more clients seeking cleaning appointments than they can currently accommodate, Refined Services Group is looking to expand its team by collaborating with solo cleaners or small cleaning teams who want to operate as independent contractors.

This unique opportunity allows cleaning professionals to choose jobs, days, and service areas that best fit their schedules, providing an exceptional level of flexibility with no minimum job requirements or forced schedules. Contractors benefit from the company handling all aspects of customer relationships including booking, billing, and support, allowing them to focus on delivering top-quality cleaning. Payments are made weekly, with no need for contractors to chase payments or manage invoicing, simplifying financial management. Compensation ranges from an hourly equivalent of $30 to $45 per job, depending on the job type and scope, and contractors keep 100% of any tips they receive. This model encourages a business-like mindset where cleaners operate as their own businesses while taking advantage of a steady stream of clients provided by Refined Services Group.

The position is ideal for experienced cleaning professionals who have at least three years of residential cleaning experience and who value autonomy, reliable income, and a supportive company framework that handles client procurement and customer service. Contractors must be equipped with their own reliable vehicle, cleaning equipment, and supplies, and must be comfortable using a smartphone to receive and manage jobs, reflecting the mobile, on-the-road nature of the work. Clear communication skills in English are essential to ensure excellent customer service and to maintain the high standards the company is known for. Additionally, contractors should be willing to serve homes within approximately 25 miles of their location in Northern or Central New Jersey. While the company does not provide insurance, contractors must have or be willing to obtain general liability insurance to safeguard their operations. This role is classified as a 1099 independent contractor position, which means contractors are responsible for handling their own taxes and will not receive benefits from the company. Having an LLC or a registered business is considered a plus.

Eligible candidates include those who have a criminal record as the company encourages inclusivity and equal employment opportunities. This opportunity is perfectly suited for cleaners who are tired of the complexities of finding clients, quoting prices, and chasing payments, and who instead want to focus solely on providing consistent, five-star service. Working as a contractor with Refined Services Group means joining a growing and well-regarded home cleaning business that offers both autonomy and steady work in a supportive and professional environment.
