Not a repair shop, estimates only. Typical range, estimate. Not a quote. Your home, materials and contractor change the number.
A longer clean that adds baseboards, inside the oven and fridge, cabinet fronts and built-up grime. Good for a home that has not had a deep clean in a while.

Common questions
What is deep cleaning?
A more thorough clean than routine service. It covers baseboards, inside appliances, cabinets and areas that normal cleaning skips.
How often?
Once or twice a year works for most homes. After that, regular cleanings keep the home in shape.
Do I need to be there?
Not usually. Many people give a key or door code. Put away valuables and tell the crew about any pets before the visit.
