Example 1:

The client has a 650 square foot apartment. The floors are about 80% carpeted and are going to be schampooed. The unit has no exterior areas that will need to be cleaned except the exteriors of the windows, which is included.

Price calculation:

$186.20 base-rate
+ 2.7¢/sq.ft.x520 sq.ft. for the carpeted, schampooed areas
+ 2.3¢/sq.ft.x130 sq.ft. for the uncarpeted areas =

$203.23 final price

Example 2:

The client has a 4500 square foot house that is 40% carpeted. The carpets won't be schampooed at the client's request. However, there is a yard that will be raked, patio areas that will be cleaned up, and an unfinished basement and garage that will be cleaned. The basement and garage total 1450 square feet and the exterior areas require 2.0 hours to clean. The home contains a large, ornate chandelier and a hot tub which require 3.2 hours to clean, combined. There are also some left-over belongings in the home, much of which is just trash that needs to be taken to a waste management facility. It takes 5.4 hours to clear away those belongings and there is a $32 disposal fee.

Price calculation:

$186.20 base-rate
+ 2.3¢/sq.ft.x4500 sq.ft. for the finished, interior areas
+ 1.1¢/sq.ft.x1450 sq.ft. for the unfinished, interior areas
+ $18.66/hourx2.0 hours for the exterior areas
+ $18.66/hourx3.2 hours for the hot tub and chandelier
+ $18.66/hourx5.4 hours for the Haul-Away Service
+ $32 disposal fee =

$535.45 final price

Example 3:

The client has a 6200 square foot house that is 55% carpeted. The carpets will all be schampooed. There are no left-over belongings and the client has already taken care of all the exterior spaces. At the client's request, the garage will be left as-is and looks very clean anyway.

Price calculation:

$186.20 base-rate
+ 2.7¢/sq.ft.x3410 sq.ft. for the carpeted, finished, interior areas
+ 2.3¢/sq.ft.x2790 sq.ft. for the uncarpeted, finished, interior areas =

$342.44 calculated price

However, the entire service only required 9.2
hours to complete. So the client only pays:

9.2 hours x $18.66/hour=

$171.67 final price

 

Now that I've scheduled my cleaning, what should I do to prepare?

Simply remove all of your belongings and leave the dust and dirt. If you find that you need to leave some belongings or large amounts of trash, ask about our Haul Away Service!

But how will Hearthstone gain access to my home when I'm not there?

Your Sales Representative will discuss all the necessary details with you about the key to the property and your security system, if you have one. This can also be arranged through our online order system. We can even return your key to your realtor or landlord for you at no extra charge!
