Class Code 9014

Workers Comp (NCCI)

Janitorial Services / Buildings — Operation by Contractors

Building service work: janitorial contractors and building operations — and the code where pressure washing of buildings commonly lands in many states. Verify your state’s treatment; a few class exterior cleaning differently.

🎓 Agent note Pressure washing is a classic "depends on the state and what surfaces you wash" placement — document the operations in the file so the audit matches the quote.

Operations commonly included

Janitorial contracting
Building operations by contractors
Pressure washing of buildings in many states
Gutter cleaning in several states

Commonly classified elsewhere

Window cleaning above ground level (often separate)
Roof cleaning (may rate as roofing-adjacent!)
Post-construction cleanup (sometimes construction codes)

Real-world example

A house-washing operation (siding, driveways, low work) commonly lands in 9014 — but the day you start soft-washing roofs, the classification conversation changes.

⚠️ Common audit mistake Roof and high work discovered at audit when the application said "house washing." Describe surfaces and heights precisely up front.

State variation: Pressure washing is one of the most state-variable classifications there is — confirm before you bind.

Rated on: Gross payroll, per $100.
