Straight answer, no form required: recurring house cleaning starts at $135 per visit for a 1-bed/1-bath and scales with square footage and frequency. Below is what each service starts at, what moves the number up or down, and how to get an exact figure in under an hour.
Starting prices by service
These are real starting prices for Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade — not national averages. Every job is quoted flat-rate before we start, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
| Service | Starts at | Billed as |
|---|---|---|
| Residential cleaning | $135 | per visit |
| Deep cleaning | $295 | per project |
| Move-in / move-out cleaning | $325 | per project |
| Carpet & upholstery cleaning | $89 | per room |
| Commercial / office cleaning | $0.10 | per sq ft |
| Post-construction cleaning | Quoted | per sq ft |
What actually moves the price
Two homes with the same bedroom count can quote differently. These are the four factors that matter:
- Size and bathrooms. Square footage sets the baseline, but bathrooms drive labour more than bedrooms do — a 3-bed/3-bath takes longer than a 4-bed/2-bath.
- Frequency. Recurring clients save 10–20% per visit versus a one-time clean, because a maintained home takes less time.
- Starting condition. If it has been a while, the first visit is usually quoted as a deep clean, then recurring pricing takes over.
- Add-ons. Inside the oven, inside the fridge, interior windows, laundry and cabinet interiors are priced individually so you only pay for what you want.
How long a clean takes
Time is the honest proxy for cost. From our own scheduling data across South Florida:
- A 2-bedroom condo runs about 4–5 hours with two cleaners.
- A 4-bedroom single-family home runs 6–8 hours with three cleaners.
- Recurring visits run faster than the first, because the home is already at baseline.
Recurring vs one-time
The most common question we get is whether a subscription is worth it. For most South Florida homes, bi-weekly is the sweet spot — frequent enough to keep dust and humidity in check, infrequent enough to stay budget-friendly. Weekly suits families with kids or pets; monthly works for snowbirds and second homes.
Because recurring visits take less time than one-off cleans, the per-visit rate drops 10–20%. Over a year that difference usually more than covers the initial deep clean.
