How to properly scale a cleaning business

[martinz1995]

Hi I’m currently doing house cleans for almost a year but would like to expand into end of lease, office cleaning and window cleaning.
I have employees that’s been with me for a while for home cleans and have subcontracted some commercial kitchen, construction cleaning jobs and end of lease jobs every now and then but would really like to keep it not too broad.
I really just want to focus on home cleaning, office cleaning and window cleaning for now.

Been advised to only stick to home cleaning and keep growing in that area. So I wanted to ask is it better to specialise in just one field eg general home cleans only instead of trying to grow by being more generalised and adding more services? Or I guess when is it a good time to add new services?
