Why Colorado’s Cleaning Market Keeps Climbing
Colorado has been one of the fastest-growing states for over a decade. The Front Range corridor from Fort Collins through Denver to Colorado Springs is home to over 4.5 million people, and it keeps expanding. Tech companies, aerospace firms, and outdoor recreation culture continue to attract young professionals and families who value clean, well-maintained homes.
With a median household income of $82,300 — significantly above the national average — Colorado residents have both the means and the mindset to hire professional cleaning services. The state’s active, outdoor-focused lifestyle means residents would rather be hiking, skiing, or biking than scrubbing bathrooms. That creates a massive base of motivated clients.
Colorado’s short-term rental market is another major revenue stream. Mountain towns like Vail, Breckenridge, Steamboat Springs, and Estes Park depend heavily on vacation rental turnovers, creating year-round demand for cleaning businesses willing to serve these areas. New construction along the Front Range adds thousands of potential clients each year.
The Active Lifestyle Advantage
Colorado ranks among the healthiest and most active states in the nation. Residents prioritize outdoor time over housework, making professional cleaning a natural fit for the state’s culture and lifestyle.

What Colorado Cleaners Charge
Colorado’s strong economy supports above-average cleaning rates, especially along the Front Range and in mountain communities.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $135 – $290 | $195 |
| Deep Cleaning | $250 – $520 | $370 |
| Move-Out Cleaning | $300 – $620 | $440 |
| Office Cleaning (per sq ft) | $0.09 – $0.20 | $0.14 |
| Recurring Weekly Service | $115 – $250 | $170 |
Denver and Boulder command the highest metro rates. Colorado Springs falls 10–15% below Denver pricing. Mountain resort towns (Vail, Aspen, Breckenridge) charge premium rates, often 30–50% above Denver averages due to high tourism demand and limited local labor.
Colorado Cleaning Business Requirements
State Business Registration
Register your business with the Colorado Secretary of State. LLC formation costs $50 online. You’ll also need to register for a Colorado sales tax license (free) through the Department of Revenue.
Sales Tax
Colorado’s state sales tax is 2.9%, but combined state, county, city, and special district taxes can reach 8–11%+. Cleaning services for commercial clients are generally taxable; residential cleaning may be exempt depending on the jurisdiction.
Workers’ Compensation
Colorado requires workers’ comp insurance for all employers with one or more employees. Sole proprietors and members of LLCs can exempt themselves but must cover all hired employees. Premiums average $2.00–$3.50 per $100 of payroll.
General Liability Insurance
Not legally required but strongly recommended. Most Colorado cleaning businesses carry $500K–$1M coverage at $450–$900/year. Many commercial and property management clients require proof of insurance.
Local Business Licenses
Many Colorado cities and counties require their own business licenses. Denver, Aurora, Colorado Springs, and Boulder all have separate licensing requirements with varying fees ($25–$200).
Paid Family and Medical Leave
Colorado’s FAMLI program requires employers (and employees) to contribute to paid family and medical leave insurance. Premiums are split between employer and employee. This applies to businesses with one or more employees.
