Grow Your Springfield Cleaning Business with MaidProfit
From Forest Park to East Longmeadow, the South End to Sixteen Acres — MaidProfit gives Springfield cleaning companies the tools to book more jobs and scale across the Pioneer Valley.
Why Springfield Offers Untapped Potential for Cleaning Businesses
Springfield is the largest city in Western Massachusetts and the anchor of the Pioneer Valley region. With a metro population of approximately 700,000 and significantly lower competition than eastern Massachusetts, Springfield offers cleaning entrepreneurs room to grow quickly.
The city’s economy is driven by healthcare (Baystate Health), education (Springfield College, Western New England University), and financial services (MassMutual’s headquarters). These employers create a reliable base of dual-income professionals who value cleaning services.
Springfield’s surrounding suburbs — East Longmeadow, Longmeadow, Agawam, and Wilbraham — feature higher-income households with larger homes that command strong cleaning rates. The low startup costs and reduced competition in Western Mass make this an ideal market for new cleaning businesses.
Low Competition, High Upside
While Boston cleaning businesses fight for market share, Springfield’s market remains underserved. Early movers who invest in professional systems like MaidProfit can quickly dominate the Pioneer Valley cleaning market.
Everything you need to scale

What Springfield Cleaners Charge
Springfield cleaning rates are more affordable than eastern Massachusetts, but the lower operating costs mean margins can be just as strong.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $100 – $210 | $140 |
| Deep Cleaning | $190 – $380 | $265 |
| Move-Out Cleaning | $230 – $450 | $325 |
| Office Cleaning (per sq ft) | $0.08 – $0.15 | $0.11 |
| Recurring Weekly Service | $85 – $175 | $120 |
Longmeadow, East Longmeadow, and Wilbraham command premium rates for residential cleaning due to larger homes and higher incomes. Downtown Springfield and Holyoke are more price-sensitive.
Springfield Cleaning Business Requirements
City of Springfield Business Certificate
Register your business with the Springfield City Clerk’s Office. A DBA filing is required if operating under a trade name. The fee is approximately $40.
Massachusetts Business Registration
Register your LLC or corporation with the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth ($500 filing fee). Sole proprietors using their legal name can skip entity registration.
Sales Tax Compliance
Massachusetts charges 6.25% sales tax. Residential cleaning is generally exempt. Register with the Department of Revenue if you provide taxable commercial cleaning services.
General Liability Insurance
Recommended for all Springfield cleaning businesses. Most commercial clients require proof of $500K–$1M coverage. Expect $400–$750/year in the Springfield market.
Workers’ Compensation
Mandatory in Massachusetts for all employers. Coverage costs are generally lower in Western Mass than in the Boston area.
Lead Paint Awareness
Springfield has significant older housing stock. If your cleaning involves disturbing painted surfaces in pre-1978 homes, EPA RRP certification may be required. Consider this for deep cleaning and renovation cleaning services.
