How ExtraPro works
Offers, pricing, service types, and pay — the mechanics behind every job.
Professionals
How offers work
Offers come to your phone. Accept what you want, decline the rest — free.
Matched, not broadcast
Every offer you get already fits your availability, your travel radius, your minimum pay, and any credentials the site needs. We never send you a job that pays below the minimum you set.
Timed waves
Each offer shows the service, the hours, the crew size, the approximate area, and your exact pay. You have 15 minutes to accept before it moves to the next wave. First accept fills the slot; crews of one to four fill slot by slot.
Declining is free
Declining never counts against you and never lowers your place in line. Your schedule and your minimum pay are respected absolutely — the software has no override.
After you accept
When the crew is full, the job is confirmed. The exact address and the client's contact details unlock on job day. You check in and out from the app, and the job closes when the client confirms the hours.
Professionals
Pay & supplies fee
80% of the client's price, plus 100% of any supplies fee — shown before you accept.
The split
The client sets an hourly price for the job. You receive 80% of it for every hour you work. Bluewave keeps 20% to cover vetting, dispatch, coordination, and the guarantee to the client.
The supplies fee
When a client asks the crew to bring supplies, a supplies fee of $10 per cleaner per job is added to the client's bill. It passes 100% to you — Bluewave takes nothing from it.
Getting paid
Set up your bank account once, from your phone, in about five minutes. After a job closes, your payout lands in one to two business days. You work as an independent professional and receive a 1099-NEC at year end.
Example
| Client's price | $30/hr × 5 hours | $150 |
| Your share (80%) | $120 | |
| Supplies fee (you brought supplies) | + $10 | |
| Your payout | $130 |
Clients
Pricing & the 80/20 split
You set the price. The crew gets 80%. The 20% is what makes it a managed service, not a directory.

What the 20% covers
- ✓ID and reference checks on every professional before their first offer
- ✓Dispatch and a human coordinator when the software can't fill it
- ✓The blind, mutual ratings loop
- ✓One invoice per job and guaranteed payment to the crew
- ✓Bluewave standing behind the outcome
The supplies fee
If you ask the crew to bring supplies, $10 per cleaner per job is added to your bill and passes 100% to the crew. It's shown as its own line on your receipt.
Hiring a crew member directly
Professionals on the bench are independent and free to work for anyone. If you hire someone you met through ExtraPro directly within 12 months of a booking, a one-time conversion fee applies to the client — never to the worker.
Example
| 2 cleaners × 5 hours × $32/hr | $320 | |
| To the crew (80%) | $256 | |
| To Bluewave (20%) | $64 |
Clients
Service types
Five kinds of jobs, one way to post them. Pick the job — we pick the crew.
Offices
Nightly, weekly, or one-off. Restrooms, floors, trash, kitchens, and glass. Typical crew of one to two; going range $26–$38 per hour.
Post-construction
Final clean after the trades leave: dust, glass, fixtures, floors. Typical crew of two to four; going range $32–$48 per hour.
Move-out
Apartment and house turnovers, deep cleans, and hoarding or heavy-trash situations by arrangement. Typical crew of one to three; going range $29–$43 per hour.
House cleaning
Residential crews for recurring or one-time cleans. Typical crew of one to two; going range $26–$38 per hour.
Same-day fill
A crew member no-showed at 6 a.m. Post the fill and we go to the bench immediately, with a target of under two hours. Client-priced — the going range is shown, and same-day jobs usually fill faster above it.
