Booking & quotes
How do I get a quote?
Ask for a free quote through the contact page or call (518) 902-1180. Tell us the service, the property type and the city, and we reply by phone or email. Quotes are free and there is no obligation.
Do you need to see the property first?
For recurring cleaning and larger jobs we like to do a short walk-through first. It is how we agree on the scope, the products we will use and any house rules. For simple jobs a phone call is often enough.
How much notice do you need to book?
The sooner the better. Send your request with a preferred date and we will confirm the earliest slot we have.
Pricing & payment
What do your prices start at?
Recurring residential cleaning starts at $160 for apartments and $195 for houses, depending on size and needs. Deep cleaning, move-in/move-out, Airbnb turnovers, post-construction, commercial cleaning, power washing, carpet cleaning and painting are quoted individually for free. See how pricing works.
What affects the price?
The size of the property, its condition, the number of bathrooms and bedrooms, how often we come, and any extras such as inside the oven or fridge. Details on the pricing page.
Is travel included?
Yes. Travel is included in the cleaning plan anywhere from Albany to Lake George, up to about one hour from our office in Watervliet, NY. There are no travel fees. See the full service area.
Are tips expected?
No. Tips are never required. If you would like to leave one, please give it in cash directly to the cleaners.
Scheduling & cancellations
What are your hours?
Residential cleaning runs from 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM. Commercial cleaning is available 24/7, so offices, clinics and restaurants can be cleaned outside business hours.
What is your cancellation policy?
We ask for 24 hours' notice. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice incur a 30% fee. The full policy is on the pricing page.
Your home
Do I need to provide cleaning supplies?
No. We bring all supplies and equipment. If you prefer that we use your own products, just let us know. Pet- and family-friendly options are available and agreed during the walk-through.
Are pets okay during a cleaning?
Yes. We prefer pets in a crate or a closed room while we work, but friendly pets are fine. We work it out with each client.
Do I need to be home?
No. Many recurring clients are at work while we clean. We agree on how we get in before the first visit, whatever you are comfortable with.
