Stop guessing about house cleaning prices. Explore our transparent breakdown of local rates in this comprehensive house cleaning price guide—from standard upkeep to deep cleans—and find the perfect service for your budget.
Understanding the Market
To understand pricing, you must first understand who you’re hiring.
The Austin market is split into three distinct service providers:
Individuals finding work via Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace.
Big-box corporate chains with standardized checklists.
Locally owned businesses with professional insurance and a personal touch.
Understanding the Market
Professional agencies carry million-dollar liability policies. If an uninsured cleaner damages your home, you could be financially responsible.
Companies that pay living wages have lower staff turnover—meaning you see the same trusted faces in your home, rather than a revolving door of strangers.
We value transparency. If your absolute top priority is the lowest possible dollar amount, and you’re comfortable assuming liability risks, an independent contractor may be your best fit.
However, if you prioritize security and quality, the “cheapest” option often becomes the most expensive.
Understanding the Market
“Variable” costs are a reality in the cleaning industry. Legitimate businesses incur real expenses when dealing with excessive pet hair, initial deep cleans, or lost time. The problem isn’t that these fees exist—it’s that many competitors hide them.
When comparing quotes, always ask other providers about these common industry costs so you aren’t hit with a surprise invoice later.
The first visit requires extra time to get your home to professional maintenance standards. They typically cost 50-75% more than recurring service plans.
Service premiums usually apply to weekend bookings.
This allows employers the ability to cover additional staffing and overtime costs.
If a cleaning team arrives and cannot enter your home, a fee equal to 50% of the scheduled service cost is usually applied to to cover lost time and travel.
We love your four-legged family members! To cover the extra care and time needed to remove pet hair from your home, expect a small surcharge between $10-$30.
