About Alcove
Alcove is a shared housing company. We rent homes room by room, and every move-out sometimes creates a deep carpet cleaning. Bedroom carpets cleaned between tenants and whole homes cleaned during full turnovers. We are hiring carpet cleaning technicians in the Raleigh/Durham area for steady, repeat work — no bidding and no finding your own customers.
ALCOVE DOES NOT PROVIDE OR REIMBURSE FOR CARPET CLEANING EQUIPMENT.
What the work is
You choose carpet cleaning jobs from the Alcove Vendor Marketplace on your phone. Every job shows the address, the scope, the time window, and the exact pay before you claim it.
Typical carpet cleaning jobs include:
- Cleaning bedroom, stairwell or hallway flooring. Sometimes rugs.
- Whole home carpet cleaning.
- Spot and stain treatment
- Pet odor removal and other special treatments when listed on the job
- Documenting your work with before and after photos
Jobs are scheduled around tenant move-outs and move-ins, so turnaround windows are often short — technicians who can take jobs within a day or two of posting will find the most work. It is important that you regular check on the Alcove vendor page!
What every job looks like
Every Alcove job follows the same three steps, and all three are required to be paid:
- Check in when you arrive. You confirm your arrival through your service ticket so our team knows the job has started.
- Do the work. Your service ticket contains the scope, access codes, and directions.
- Complete your shift form before you leave. Every job ends with a short form on your phone (a Tally form) with required before and after photos, due no later than 12 hours after your service window ends.
Pay is released after your form is reviewed and the job is confirmed complete. Only fully completed jobs are paid.
