House Cleaning Prices in Alpharetta:
The Honest Numbers

Before you book a cleaning service, you want to know what it costs. That's a reasonable thing to want, and most cleaning company websites make it harder than it needs to be.

This post gives you the actual numbers we quote to homeowners in Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek, Cumming, and the rest of North Atlanta suburbs. Not ranges so wide they're useless. Not "starting at" prices that don't apply to any real home. The numbers we actually tell people when they call.

What this guide covers:

• What drives cleaning prices up or down
• Recurring clean pricing by home size and frequency
• Deep clean pricing and when you need one
• Move-in and move-out cleaning costs
• Post-construction, commercial, and Airbnb turnover rates
• What's included vs. what costs extra
• Why prices vary between companies (and what that tells you)

What makes cleaning prices go up or down

Four factors set the price of almost every residential cleaning job in Alpharetta. Understanding them helps you estimate your own cost before you ever call anyone.

Square footage. The biggest driver. A 1,200 sqft condo in Alpharetta takes roughly half the time of a 2,400 sqft home. We price by home size, not by the hour, so you know what you're getting before the team arrives.

Number of bathrooms. Bathrooms take longer per square foot than any other room. A home with 3.5 bathrooms costs more than a home of the same size with 2. We charge a flat rate per additional bathroom beyond what's standard for that home size.

Service type. A recurring maintenance clean is faster than a deep clean, which is faster than a move-out clean. Each service type targets different areas at different depths. The section-by-section breakdown below shows exactly what changes.

Condition of the home. A home that has been professionally cleaned every two weeks takes less time than one that hasn't been touched in six months. If we walk in and the home is in significantly worse condition than quoted, we'll call before adding time. We don't spring extra charges at the end.

Recurring cleaning prices in Alpharetta

A recurring clean, sometimes called a standard or maintenance clean, is what most of our clients book on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule. It keeps a clean home clean. It's not designed to recover a home that's been neglected, and it won't get inside the oven or scrub every baseboard by hand. That's what a deep clean is for.

Here's what recurring cleaning costs for typical Alpharetta-area homes:

Home Size	Bi-Weekly Price	Weekly Price
1-2 BR / 1 bath (under 1,500 sq ft)	$140 to $165	$120 to $145
2-3 BR / 2 baths (1,500-2,500 sq ft)	$195 to $220	$170 to $190
3-4 BR / 2.5 baths (2,500-3,500 sq ft)	$250 to $280	$220 to $245
4-5 BR / 3+ baths (3,500-5,000 sq ft)	$310 to $370	$270 to $320

The most common home we clean in Alpharetta is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house (1,500-2,000 sq ft), typically running $195 per bi-weekly visit. Weekly clients pay a bit less per visit because the home stays in better condition between cleans.

Every recurring visit includes: all surfaces dusted, kitchen counters and stovetop wiped, bathrooms cleaned top to bottom, floors vacuumed and mopped, trash emptied, and bedrooms tidied. The same team shows up every time. Same two people, same routines, same standards.

Deep clean pricing: what to expect

A deep clean is a different level of work. It includes everything in a standard clean plus: baseboards wiped by hand throughout the home, inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, inside empty cabinets and drawers, grout scrubbing in showers, window sills cleaned, door frames and tops of doors, ceiling corners and cobwebs, vents and HVAC return covers, and light fixtures pulled and washed rather than just dusted.

On a 2,400 sqft home in Alpharetta, a deep clean takes two cleaners about 4.5 to 6 hours. A standard clean on the same home takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. The price reflects that difference.

Home Size	Deep Clean Price
1-2 BR / 1 bath (under 1,500 sq ft)	$180 to $225
2-3 BR / 2 baths (1,500-2,500 sq ft)	$275 to $325
3-4 BR / 2.5 baths (2,500-3,500 sq ft)	$375 to $425
4-5 BR / 3+ baths (3,500-5,000 sq ft)	$475 to $575

Most first-time clients in Alpharetta and Roswell start with a deep clean, then move to a bi-weekly recurring schedule. The deep clean sets the baseline. After that, the standard clean keeps it there. If you plan to do both, ask us about the new-client discount, which credits part of your deep clean cost toward the first recurring visit.

When do you need a deep clean vs. a standard clean? Read our full comparison guide. The short version: if no professional has cleaned your home in the last six months, start with a deep clean.

Move-in and move-out cleaning costs

Move-in and move-out cleans are the most thorough service we offer. They're priced higher than deep cleans because they cover every surface in an empty home, including inside every cabinet and drawer, inside all appliances, behind and under appliances (when accessible), all closet shelves, window tracks, and garage floors on request.

Landlords in Johns Creek and homeowners preparing to list in Alpharetta book this service regularly. A move-out clean that doesn't hold up to inspection costs more money than the clean itself. We stand behind ours with a 24-hour return guarantee: if your landlord or new owner finds something we missed, we come back at no charge.

Home Size	Move-In / Move-Out Price
1-2 BR / 1 bath (under 1,500 sq ft)	$420+
3 BR / 2 bath (1,500-2,000 sq ft)	$555 to $660
4 BR / 2.5 bath (2,500-3,500 sq ft)	$660 to $810
5+ BR estate (4,500+ sq ft)	$810+

Move-in / move-out pricing is flat-rate by square footage, identical across Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Cumming, Roswell, and the rest of our service area. We do not charge a city or zone surcharge.

Post-construction cleaning: per-square-foot pricing

Post-construction cleans are priced by square footage because the scope varies too much for a flat rate. After a renovation or new build, you're dealing with drywall dust in every vent, grout haze on tile, construction adhesive residue, paint overspray, and debris the contractors left behind. The complexity depends entirely on how much work was done and how careful the crew was.

Our post-construction rates in Alpharetta and surrounding areas:

Service Level	Rate per Square Foot
Renovation / remodel cleanup	$0.30 / sq ft
New construction (heavy debris)	$0.50 / sq ft

A 2,400 sq ft home with a full kitchen and bath remodel typically runs $0.30/sq ft for renovation cleanup. New construction with heavy debris runs $0.50/sq ft. Total range across our service area: $525 to $1,850. We quote by square footage or a few photos of the current state. We don't quote blindly.

Airbnb turnover cleaning: flat rates by home size

Airbnb turnovers are priced differently from residential cleans. The work has to happen fast, on a strict schedule, and it has to be guest-ready when we're done. No exceptions, no "good enough." A missed coffee ring or a stray hair means a bad review.

We clean Airbnb properties across Alpharetta, Cumming, and the North Atlanta corridor. Our turnover rates:

Property Size	Per-Turnover Price
Small unit (studio / 1BR)	From $95
Larger unit (2-4 BR)	Up to $175

Turnover pricing includes a full clean of all rooms, bathroom restocking check, bed linens changed (host provides), garbage removed, kitchen wiped down, and a photo report sent to the host at completion. We coordinate directly with your calendar on request. See our Airbnb turnover cleaning page for the full scope.

Commercial cleaning rates in North Atlanta

Commercial cleaning is priced by square footage, with a distinction between the initial clean and the recurring rate. First-time commercial cleans take significantly longer because every surface starts from scratch.

Service	Rate
Initial commercial clean	From $250 (flat-rate)
Recurring commercial clean	From $130/visit (flat-rate)

A 3,000 sq ft office runs $500 for the initial deep clean and $320 per bi-weekly recurring visit (or $260 per visit on weekly). We serve small offices, medical suites, retail, and professional services buildings across North Atlanta suburbs. For multi-suite or larger properties (over 5,000 sq ft), call for a custom quote.

What's included in every service vs. what costs extra

Understanding what's in the base price versus what gets added on prevents surprises when you get the invoice. Here's how we break it down.

Always included in every service: All cleaning products and supplies, both cleaners for the duration of the visit, a final check after the clean, and direct communication with Staci or Caden if anything comes up during the clean.

Included in recurring and deep cleans only (not move-out): The same team every visit, priority rescheduling if we need to move your appointment, and the 24-hour quality guarantee.

Add-ons available at extra cost: Inside the refrigerator ($75), inside the single oven ($75) or double oven ($125), interior windows ($5 per window), wall spot wash ($50), garage sweep and dust ($60), bed linen change ($15 per bed), and detail wipe blinds ($5 per blind).

What we don't do: Exterior windows, exterior cleaning of any kind, power washing, carpet shampooing or steam cleaning, or cleaning of spaces with active mold. We refer those to specialists.

"Staci was upfront about the price from the very first call. No surprise charges, nothing tacked on at the end. That alone made us loyal customers." Marcus T., Johns Creek

Why prices vary between cleaning companies in Alpharetta

You'll find cleaning services in Alpharetta ranging from $89 to $400 for the same size home. That gap isn't random. Here's what actually drives it.

Vetting and insurance. Fully insured companies with licensed operations and properly vetted teams cost more to run. If a solo cleaner with no insurance damages your floors or a liability claim arises, you're on your own. Every Alpharetta Cleaning Co. team member is personally vetted before their first visit, and we carry full liability insurance. That has a cost built in.

Same team vs. whoever's available. Services that send different people each visit have lower overhead because they can pull from a larger pool. You get efficiency, but you lose trust. Knowing the team that's coming into your home matters, especially if you're not there. We assign the same two-person team to every recurring account.

Products and equipment. Budget services often use the cheapest available products, sometimes bleach-based cleaners that aren't appropriate for every surface. We use commercial-grade, surface-appropriate cleaners throughout. Better products take longer to work correctly but protect your surfaces over time.

Quality control and guarantees. A cheap clean that misses three rooms isn't a deal. It's a waste of money and time. Services that stand behind their work with a real re-clean guarantee absorb the cost of mistakes internally. Services that don't pass that cost to you, either through a bad clean or a refund that never comes.

The lowest-priced option in Alpharetta is rarely the lowest cost when you account for re-cleans, damaged items, or having to switch services every few months.

How to get an accurate quote for your home

The most accurate quotes come from two things: your home's square footage and number of bathrooms. If you have those numbers ready, a call takes about five minutes and ends with a firm price.

All quotes are based on square footage, bedrooms, and bathrooms. No site visit needed, no photos required for most homes. Post-construction jobs are quoted by square footage once the debris is cleared.

After 500 homes cleaned across Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek, Cumming, and Roswell, we've quoted enough homes to be accurate on the first try. The price we give you on the phone is the price you pay, unless the home's condition is significantly different from what was described. In that case, we call before we add time.
