A one-time house clean in Calgary usually lands somewhere between about $130 and $350, depending on the size of the home and the type of clean. At Corinthia, a standard clean starts at $129, a deep clean at $239, and a move-in or move-out clean at $329. GST is included in the price you are quoted. What follows is what sits behind those numbers, so you can work out roughly what your home will cost before you ask anyone for a quote.

The two ways cleaning is usually priced

Most cleaners in Calgary price one of two ways: by the hour, or by the visit. Hourly pricing sounds simple, but it hides the total. You do not know what you will pay until the job is finished, and a slow crew costs you more for the same result. Flat pricing per visit tells you the number before anyone arrives.

We use flat rates for that reason. You see the price, you approve it, and it does not change on the day without your say-so. The only time a price moves is if the home turns out to be much larger or in much rougher shape than described, and even then we tell you before we start, not after.

Our prices, stated plainly

Those are starting prices for a typical home in each category. A one-bedroom condo sits at the low end. A four-bedroom house with three bathrooms sits higher, because bathrooms and bedrooms are what take the time.

What moves the price up or down

Four things decide where your home falls in the range.

• Size. Bedrooms and bathrooms are the biggest factor. Bathrooms especially, since they take the most time per room.
• Type of clean. A deep clean covers more ground than a standard, so it costs more. A move-out resets an entire empty home, which is more again.
• Frequency. Recurring cleans cost less per visit than one-off cleans, because the home never gets far from clean.
• Condition. A home that has not had a proper clean in months takes longer the first time. That first visit is often a deep clean, with standard cleans after.

Recurring saves real money

If you book on a schedule, the price per visit drops: 20 percent off weekly, 15 percent off bi-weekly, and 10 percent off monthly. The bi-weekly rate is where most homes settle.

Here is the math on a standard clean. At $129 a visit, bi-weekly with the 15 percent discount works out to about $110 a visit. Over a year, that is roughly $500 less than paying full price each time, for a home that never drifts far enough to need an expensive reset. The discount is not a gimmick. It reflects that a maintained home is genuinely faster to clean.

What the price includes

The quoted price covers the team’s time, all supplies, and all equipment. We bring everything. You do not stock a cupboard for us, and there is no separate line for products or a vacuum. It also covers the room-by-room checklist we follow on every visit, so the same things get done whether you are watching or not.

GST at five percent is part of the number you are quoted and appears on every invoice. There is no booking fee and no charge for a quote.

How to get your actual number

The fastest way is the quote form on our Residential page. Tell us the bedrooms, bathrooms, the type of clean, and how often you want it. We confirm the price and the available times within one business day. If you would rather talk it through, the number and email are on the Contact page.

A clean home should cost you a clear number, not a guess. That is the whole point of flat-rate pricing.
