Most cleaning companies in the Augusta market won't tell you what they charge until they walk through your space. That's defensible — every space really is different, and a 3,000 sqft medical office and a 3,000 sqft warehouse can't honestly be the same price. But it's also strategic. Vague pricing means clients can't compare quotes apples-to-apples, can't self-select before booking, and can't tell whether they're being marked up because they didn't push back hard enough.
We publish real ranges anyway. Below are the ballpark numbers for what cleaning actually costs in the Augusta / CSRA market, broken out by service type. Your final quote will land somewhere inside these ranges based on the actual scope; emergencies and unusual requirements can push above them. None of this is a binding quote — the binding quote comes after we walk your space — but if these ranges are out of your budget, the walkthrough will probably confirm that and we both save time.
Commercial cleaning — recurring janitorial
Per-square-foot pricing for recurring commercial cleaning, by service tier:
| Tier | What's included | Range per sqft |
|---|---|---|
| Essentials | Trash, vacuum, mop, restrooms, high-touch disinfection | $0.07 – $0.10 |
| Premium | Essentials + deep kitchen, glass & partitions, dust detail | $0.10 – $0.14 |
| White Glove | Premium + hospital-grade disinfection, quarterly baseboards / vents / windows | $0.14 – $0.18 |
Worked example: 3,000 sqft professional office at weekly cadence, Premium tier. Per-visit cost: ~$300-$420. Monthly: ~$1,300-$1,820 (assuming 4.3 weekly visits). Yearly: ~$15,600-$21,800.
Specialty premiums layered on top of base tier:
- Medical / dental grade (EPA List N protocol, BAA, color-coded microfiber): +$0.02-$0.04/sqft. Medical Office / Dental Office.
- After-hours overnight or pre-dawn (10 PM-5 AM, 3-7 AM windows): +10-15% above evening rate. After-Hours Cleaning.
- Religious-facility / reverence-aware: no premium — included in base tier. Church Cleaning.
- Law firm / NDA-bound confidentiality: no premium — included in base tier. Law Firm Cleaning.
- Daycare / child-safe: no premium — included in base tier. Daycare Cleaning.
Residential cleaning — recurring
Flat-rate by bedroom and bathroom count, modified by square footage and condition:
| Home size | Weekly | Biweekly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 bed / 1 bath | $110-$140 | $135-$165 | $170-$210 |
| 3 bed / 2 bath | $130-$170 | $160-$200 | $200-$260 |
| 4 bed / 2.5 bath | $160-$210 | $195-$245 | $240-$310 |
| 5+ bed / 3+ bath | $200-$280 | $240-$320 | $300-$400 |
Notes:
- Weekly is per-visit lower because the home stays in better condition between visits.
- Monthly is per-visit higher because more residual buildup needs to be addressed each visit.
- An initial deep clean is usually required before starting a recurring contract: $250-$400 for a 3 bed/2 bath, scaling up. This is to establish a clean baseline.
- Add-ons (interior windows, inside-oven, inside-fridge, garage, basement) are listed separately on the quote.
Move-in / Move-out deep cleaning
Flat-rate by bed/bath/sqft, comprehensive scope (inside oven, inside fridge, every cabinet):
| Home size | Move-Out Deep Clean |
|---|---|
| 2 bed / 1 bath | $300-$450 |
| 3 bed / 2 bath | $400-$650 |
| 4 bed / 2.5 bath | $600-$900 |
| 5+ bed / 3+ bath | $850-$1,400 |
Move-in cleaning typically falls in the same range. Pre-listing deep cleans for real estate agents are usually quoted at the same rate as move-out. Move-In / Move-Out Deep Cleaning for full scope.
Post-construction cleanup
Project-based, three stages quoted separately. Approximate ranges for residential:
| Project size | Rough Clean | Final Clean | Touch-Up |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,500 sqft renovation | $200-$350 | $500-$900 | $150-$250 |
| 3,000 sqft custom home | $300-$500 | $800-$1,400 | $200-$350 |
| 5,000 sqft custom home | $500-$800 | $1,400-$2,400 | $350-$550 |
Commercial fit-outs vary by industry (medical > office > retail). See Post-Construction Cleanup.
Specialty cleaning — flat per-piece or per-visit
| Service | Range |
|---|---|
| Window cleaning — residential, 3-bed home (interior + exterior + screens) | $200-$350 |
| Window cleaning — commercial storefront, monthly | $80-$200/visit |
| Sofa cleaning (3-cushion) | $120-$180 |
| Sectional cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Mattress cleaning (queen) | $80-$140 |
| Pet-incident enzyme treatment add-on (per piece) | $30-$80 |
| One-time office deep clean (one-off, not recurring) | $0.18-$0.30/sqft |
What affects pricing the most
Five factors drive most pricing variance:
1. Square footage and complexity. 3,000 sqft of cubicle floor is faster than 3,000 sqft split into 12 small offices.
2. Cadence. Weekly is per-visit lower; monthly is per-visit higher.
3. Tier. Essentials, Premium, or White Glove.
4. Specialty requirements. Medical-grade, NDA-bound, after-hours, religious-facility — each adds scope.
5. Schedule pressure. Emergency or short-notice work costs more than scheduled-in-advance.
What's typically NOT in a base quote
Items that get listed as separate line-items rather than rolled into the base recurring rate:
- Residential add-ons: inside-oven, inside-refrigerator, inside-cabinets, inside-window-tracks, exterior windows, basement, garage, patio, outside windows.
- Commercial add-ons: carpet extraction, hard-floor strip-and-wax, exterior windows, hood cleaning, pressure washing, biohazard response, post-event cleanup.
- One-time work: initial deep clean before recurring (residential), holiday-event reset, post-illness disinfection visit, pre-listing prep.
