Fourteen kinds of cleaning, split between homes and workplaces
Every visit follows a written checklist for that kind of space. Pick the line that sounds like your place; the detail page explains what is included, what it costs and how the visit runs.
At home
Maid service
Weekly or every-other-week visits with beds made, laundry folded and the same checklist each time.
Deep cleaning
Inside the oven, along every baseboard, behind the fridge: the first visit or the twice-a-year reset.
Move-out & move-in
Empty apartments and houses cleaned to the standard a landlord's walk-through looks for.
Airbnb turnovers
Linens, restocking and a reset between guests, timed to checkout and check-in.
Carpet cleaning
Hot-water extraction for living rooms and bedrooms, low-moisture cleaning for offices.
Window cleaning
Inside glass, outside glass, screens and tracks, on one and two-story homes.
At work
Commercial cleaning
One plan for a building: lobbies, floors, restrooms and glass, on the schedule your tenants keep.
Janitorial & day porter
Nightly crews and daytime porters for buildings that never quite empty.
Post-construction
Drywall dust, stickers and paint specks gone before the keys change hands.
Event venues
Halls, courtyards and dance floors turned around between the last song and the next booking.
Medical & dental
Exam rooms, operatories and waiting rooms cleaned with a written disinfection routine.

- $0What the quote costs. Homes are priced from a short call or a walkthrough, businesses from a walkthrough.
- 48 hoursYour window to tell us about anything missed. We return and redo it at no charge.
- 1 checklistFor every visit, written for that home or building and kept on file, so the fifth clean matches the first.

How much does a house cleaning cost in Houston?
For 2026 budgeting, a standard visit for a three-bedroom, two-bath home of about 1,800 square feet usually lands between $150 and $230, a first-time deep clean between $280 and $450, and an empty-home move-out clean between $260 and $480. Your own price comes in writing after a short call or a walkthrough. The house cleaning price guide breaks it down.
Do you clean businesses as well as homes?
Yes. Offices, medical and dental suites, retail floors, restaurants after close, event halls and new construction are about half of what we look after. Business quotes start with a walkthrough of the space at a time that suits you.
Do I need to be home?
No. Plenty of customers leave a key, a lockbox or a door code and come home to a finished house. For the first visit we like a few minutes with you, in person or by phone, to agree on what matters most.
Do you bring your own supplies?
Yes: vacuums with HEPA filters, microfiber cloths, mops and the cleaning products. If you want us to use something of yours, such as a stone cleaner for marble or a fragrance-free product, leave it out and say so.
Is a cleaning company licensed in Texas?
Texas does not issue a state license for house cleaning or janitorial work, so no Houston cleaning company holds one. The useful questions are about insurance, how the work is checked, and what happens if something is missed. Our guide to choosing a cleaner lists them.
What happens if something gets missed?
Tell us within 48 hours and we come back to put it right at no charge. A photo by text helps us fix it on the first return trip.
Inside the Loop and out to the master-planned suburbs
Houston is a city of very different houses. A 1920s Heights bungalow with original floors, a Memorial two-story under the pines, a three-story Midtown townhouse and a new build in a Katy subdivision all need a slightly different plan, and so do the offices along the Energy Corridor, in Westchase and around the Texas Medical Center.
We work across the city and in the suburbs on every side of it, from Spring and The Woodlands in the north to Pearland, Friendswood and League City toward the bay.

Why a Houston cleaning plan is not the same as anywhere else
- 7.9 millionPeople in the Houston metro, which added 126,720 residents in the year to July 2025, the largest gain of any U.S. metro (Census Bureau, March 2026).
- 58%Of homes inside the city are rented, so move-outs, move-ins and lease turnovers are a big share of the work.
- 2 million+CenterPoint Energy customers who lost power after Hurricane Beryl on July 8, 2024. Storm season adds its own cleaning list.
- 19 millionSquare feet of office space in the Energy Corridor alone, about three-quarters of it Class A, cleaned five nights a week.
