House Cleaning Cost Breakdown By Pricing Option
As they say, “There is more than one way to skin a cat.” That is certainly the case when it comes to looking at how house cleaning prices are established in Charlotte.
To give you some perspective as a potential customer, four primary pricing methodologies are often used by major cleaning companies in the Charlotte area. Depending on which company you might choose, you can discuss with them how they intend to price out your job. Here is a look at the pricing options that are used in the area.
By Hours
Some customers need housekeeping services but come have significant budget concerns. Still, other customers will be interested in securing very specific cleaning services that target specific rooms or a special type of cleaning. It’s in these situations that hourly rates tend to work well for customers. Hourly rates give them more control over their expenditure while making sure the cleaning company’s maids have a clear idea of how much time they have to complete the task at hand.
Basic hourly rates run between $25 to $50, depending on the service requested and other factors such as the complexity of the job
By Size of the Home
Estate homes present a real challenge when it comes to figuring out reasonable cleaning prices. The more spacious the home, the more difficult the process becomes. Many times, the fairest way to price such a job is to establish a price by square footage. Most local companies have square footage prices but are often willing to negotiate.
The current average per square foot in the Charlotte area runs between $0.08 and $0.13 per square foot.
By Number of Rooms
The easiest pricing method is to simply count the number of rooms in the house and apply a per-room rate. As part of this method, the size of each room will be considered with smaller rooms running an average of $30 per room and larger rooms with more furniture about $60 per room. Again, special cleaning requests could impact these rates a bit.
Flat Fee
For standard apartments and condos, some cleaning companies like to keep things simple by using a flat rate. We also do this a lot with vacation rentals in the area. While flat fee rates will vary from company to company, the average seems to be between $60 to #120 for apartments and condos. Flat fees are also available for larger homes and can run as high as $400.
Cleaning Services Types and Prices
Most full-service cleaning companies in the Charlotte area try to offer flexibility regarding the type of cleaning services they offer. Since each type requires progressively more effort from their maids, the prices will tend to scale up a little based on the service type getting more complex. The cleaning service types typically offered in the area include (pricing range included):
- Standard house cleaning ($60 to $400)
- Deep house cleaning ($120 to $500)
- Move in/out cleaning ($100 to $300)
- Specific room or area cleaning ($30 to $60)
Factors Influencing House Cleaning Costs
Beyond room size and the number of rooms, there are other factors that cleaning companies have to consider when establishing home cleaning services prices in Charlotte NC. Some of these other factors are:
- Very specific chores that are requested
- The overall condition of the home (clutter)
- The amount of furniture or appliances in a room
- Extra services (see below)
What About Additional Cleaning Services?
A lot of customers have very special cleaning requests. When such requests are made, the cleaning company has to determine if the request falls within the scope of their base pricing or if an additional fee needs to be added. Here’s a partial list of the add-ons and special requests that are often made:
