What a Deep Clean Costs in Castlegate and Pebble Creek

You want a number before you pick up the phone. Fair. And most cleaning companies make that harder than it needs to be — a form, a callback, four questions about your schedule before anybody says a dollar amount out loud.

So here it is. A deep clean starts at $300. What that buys, what pushes it higher, and why two houses a few streets apart in Castlegate or Pebble Creek can come back with different quotes. That’s the rest of this page.

Key Takeaways

• Deep cleaning starts at $300. It’s a floor, not a flat rate, and the current figures live on the pricing page.
• Bathrooms move the number more than anything else in the house. A fourth bathroom adds more time to the visit than another few hundred square feet of living room.
• How long it’s been since the last deep clean matters nearly as much as size, because buildup has to be worked off rather than wiped off.
• Pets, hard-water spotting, and the condition of the kitchen are the other three things that shift a quote.
• There’s no square-footage chart here, because a chart would be guessing. The number for your house comes from a few questions about your house.

What the starting price is actually for

A deep clean isn’t a longer version of a regular cleaning. It’s a different job.

Regular cleaning keeps a house level — counters, floors, bathrooms, the dusting you’d notice if it got skipped. A deep clean goes after everything routine visits never have time for. Baseboards and door frames. The top edges of the upper cabinets. Behind and underneath the appliances that move. Inside the oven. The grout line where the tub meets the tile. Window sills and tracks, vent covers, light fixtures, the film on shower glass.

That’s the difference between a couple of hours and most of a day, and it’s why the starting figure sits where it does. Plenty of homes book right at $300. Smaller ones, in decent shape, cleaned sometime in the last year or so.

Once you add bathrooms, animals, and a few years of buildup, the number climbs. Here’s what does the climbing.

What actually moves the price

Bathrooms. This is the big one, and almost nobody guesses it first. A bathroom is the densest cleaning job in the house: tub, shower walls, glass, grout, toilet inside and out and behind, vanity, mirror, fixtures, floor, baseboards, exhaust vent. All of that packs into maybe fifty square feet, and none of it speeds up because the room is small. Going from two bathrooms to four doesn’t add a little. It nearly doubles the slowest part of the visit.

How long it’s been. A house that got a deep clean last spring is a maintenance pass. A house that hasn’t had one since 2022 is a removal job. Soap scum, cooking film on the range hood, dust packed into vent slats — none of that comes off with a wipe. It gets worked off, and the working is measured in hours.

Pets. Hair gets into places dust never does. Baseboards, carpet edges, upholstery seams, air vents. Two dogs in the house means extra passes on nearly every surface below knee height.

Hard water. White spotting on the shower glass and crust on the faucet aerators is mineral deposit, not dirt. The USGS puts it plainly: hard water carries dissolved calcium and magnesium, and those minerals get left behind on whatever the water touches. Taking four years of it off glass and chrome without scratching either one is slow, careful work, and it’s one of the most common reasons a quote lands above the starting number.

Kitchen condition. The oven, the range hood filter, the tops of the cabinets, the four-inch gap beside the range that nobody has looked into since the house was built. A kitchen that gets cooked in hard is a bigger job than a kitchen that mostly makes coffee.

Square footage belongs on this list too, but it works differently than most people expect. It’s more of a multiplier on everything above than a driver of its own. That one got its own post: how square footage changes a deep clean.

Why quotes in these two neighborhoods land where they do

The homes we clean in Castlegate and Pebble Creek tend to run larger than a starter house across town, with more bathrooms in them. That’s the whole reason most quotes out there come in above the starting number rather than at it. No neighborhood surcharge, no zip-code pricing. Bathroom count and floor area doing exactly what they’d do anywhere.

There’s a second pattern in both places. The deep clean is usually a reset before something. Family flying in. A listing photographer coming Thursday. The start of the semester, after a house sat half-empty all summer with the doors opening onto August dust. When there’s a date attached, the useful thing is knowing the number early enough to put it on the calendar.

If you’re on the Castlegate side, deep cleaning in Castlegate walks through what the visit covers there. Over in Pebble Creek, deep cleaning in Pebble Creek does the same.

How to get a number you can plan around

Three steps, and the first one is short.

Get an estimate. We’ll ask how many bathrooms you have, roughly how big the house is, when it last had a deep clean, whether there are pets, and what shape the kitchen is in. Five questions. That’s usually enough to give you a real figure instead of a range wide enough to drive a truck through.

Then book a date. Then the house gets put right, and you walk into it that evening.

Everything we use is eco-friendly and non-toxic, so nobody’s opening windows afterward to air the place out. And if something gets missed: if you’re not thrilled with the cleanliness of your home, we’ll come back and make it right—free of charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a deep clean cost in College Station?

Deep cleaning starts at $300. Where your house lands depends mostly on how many bathrooms you have, how long it’s been since the last deep clean, whether there are pets, and the condition of the kitchen. Anyone who names your exact number before asking about those is guessing.

Why isn’t there a price per square foot?

Because square footage on its own doesn’t predict the work. A 2,600-square-foot house with two bathrooms and no animals is a shorter day than a 2,200-square-foot house with three and a half baths, two dogs, and hard-water buildup on every shower door. A per-foot rate would overcharge the first house and undercharge the second, and we’d rather quote what the job actually is.

What’s the difference between a deep clean and a regular cleaning?

Regular cleaning holds the line week to week — surfaces, floors, bathrooms, the dusting you’d notice. A deep clean handles what routine visits never get to: baseboards, behind appliances, inside the oven, grout lines, vent covers, buildup on glass. Most people book the deep clean once to reset the house, then keep it there with regular visits.

Do pets change the quote?

They can. Pet hair works into baseboards, carpet edges, upholstery seams, and air vents, and getting it out means extra passes at floor level. It isn’t a penalty, it’s just more ground to cover. Mention what you’ve got when you ask for the estimate and it’ll be in the number from the start.

Can you give me a quote over the phone?

Usually, yes. Between the five questions above and a description of anything unusual — a sunroom, a second kitchen, a shower that hasn’t been touched in years — most homes can be quoted without a visit. If yours is complicated enough that a walkthrough would give you a better answer, we’ll say so.
