Gallatin Carpet Cleaning is a small, family-owned business operating out of Bozeman, MT. For its services, the company has always charged a flat fee per hundred square feet of carpet cleaned. The current fee is $28.00 per hundred square feet. A cost of $21.50 per square foot was computed by taking $430,000/20,000 hundred square feet = $21.50 per hundred square feet.
