What changes when the house is four bedrooms and up.
Four bedrooms and three bathrooms, every two weeks, is $212. Five bedrooms with three or more bathrooms is $248. Six bedrooms and up is quoted after a walkthrough, because one published number for a house that size would be a guess dressed up as a price.
What follows is the rest of the answer: why bathroom count decides the figure, what a second story does to a deep clean, and the gate paperwork that decides whether a first visit happens on the day it was booked.
Bathroom count decides the price, not floor area
Bathroom count is the single biggest driver of what a clean costs in a larger home. A bathroom is the densest room in the house: every surface gets touched, most of them are wet, and none of it goes faster because the hallway outside happens to be wide. Add a fourth bathroom and you have added a fixed block of work that no amount of open plan makes shorter.
That is why the table below is sized by bedrooms and bathrooms rather than by the hour. An hourly rate makes you pay for somebody else's pace, and it makes the total impossible to know until it has already been spent.
The full list of what moves a figure, where home size means bedrooms and bathrooms rather than square feet: home size, visit frequency, condition at the first visit, pets, chosen add-ons.
Two-story layouts and high ceilings take longer than the floor plan suggests
Most of the larger housing here went up as two-story layouts with high ceilings in the main rooms. East Lake 34688 is the clearest example, built mostly between the late 1980s and the mid 2000s as gated golf and preserve communities, with homes larger than the county average and more bathrooms per home. Trinity, over the Pasco line, is newer and master-planned, with a higher proportion of large single-family houses than anywhere else on our list.
What that costs in time is not obvious from the square footage. Stairs are their own job. There are two of everything, so a vacuum goes up and comes down rather than around. Two full floors of baseboards, sills and door frames, and wide runs of large-format tile that show every footprint, are all slow, and a first deep clean on a house like that is a genuinely long day. A four bedroom, three bathroom deep clean is $424, said before you book rather than added afterwards.
Height changes the scope rather than the rate. Upper windows, high fixtures and vaulted ceiling fans need a ladder and a second person, so they are quoted separately instead of listed and then quietly skipped. Exterior windows, gutters and roofs need a different trade, and we will tell you who to call instead of improvising.
Gates, and the registration nobody mentions until the day
Almost all of 34688 is gated, and the gate is the real scheduling constraint on a larger home. Some communities issue a barcode or a transponder. Some want the homeowner to call the guard house on the day. Some require a vendor registered with the association before anybody is let through at all. All three are fine, and none of them is instant.
Finding out which one applies while sitting at the gate is not fine. It is settled in writing before the first visit and recorded alongside everything else agreed about the house, which is the same reason the scope goes in writing: a first visit that does not happen is worse than a first visit that runs long.

The rate card, four bedrooms and up
Per visit. Recurring visits cost less each time because each visit is lighter, not because anybody is locked into anything. There is no contract and no minimum term.
| Home | One time | Every 4 weeks | Every 2 weeks | Weekly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 bed / 3 bath | $265 | $233 | $212 | $199 |
| 5 bed / 3+ bath | $310 | $273 | $248 | $233 |
| 6+ bed | Quoted after a walkthrough, so the number you get is the number you pay. | |||
The first visit on a recurring plan is priced as a deep clean when the house has not been cleaned professionally in the last ninety days. That rule is published for the same reason the rates are: it is the quote-low-then-add-it-on pattern that makes this whole category hard to trust, and the only way to not do it is to say so first. Every rate, including deep cleans, move-outs and add-ons is on the pricing page, and what a visit includes and what it does not is written out in full on the house cleaning page.
And for the months a larger house sits empty
The cleaning above is the main service. Home watch is the seasonal one beside it, and this is the housing stock second homes concentrate in on this stretch of the Gulf coast, the housing most likely to be closed up from April to October. Home watch is priced by square footage rather than by bedrooms, because an inspection is driven by how much house there is to walk: a home between 3,501 and 5,000 square feet is $119 a visit, and over 5,000 square feet is quoted after a walkthrough.
You get a timestamped report with photographs after every single visit, which is the answer to the only question that matters when you are a thousand miles away. The sample report format is published before you have paid anything.
What does not change with the size of the house
The published rate
The same table for a five bedroom house as for a condo. A rate card that changes depending on who is reading it is not a rate card.
The written scope
Exactly what is included and what is not, agreed before the first visit rather than argued about afterwards.
The re-clean
Call within twenty four hours and we clean it again at no charge. It is the one guarantee that depends on nobody but us.
The re-clean policy is published in full, and so is every rate on the site. Nothing about a larger home gets priced in private.
Questions people ask
- Why is the price by bedrooms and bathrooms rather than square footage?
- Because bathrooms are what the work actually is, and square footage does not tell you how many there are. Two houses of identical floor area, one with two bathrooms and one with four, are not the same job and should not carry the same price. Home watch is priced by square footage instead, because an inspection really is driven by how much house there is to walk.
- What happens above five bedrooms?
- It is quoted after a walkthrough rather than published. Houses that size vary too much for one honest number, and a published figure we then revised upward would undo the only thing this site is offering. The figure agreed at the walkthrough is the figure on the invoice.
- Does a bigger house mean more than one cleaner?
- A larger home is planned as a longer visit, and where the size warrants it, as a visit with more than one cleaner. The published rate is per visit and never per hour, so how a visit gets resourced is our problem to solve and not a line on your invoice.
- Do you need to see the house before quoting?
- For four and five bedroom homes, no. The table is the price, and we confirm the scope in writing before the first visit. For six bedrooms and up, yes, and it takes about twenty minutes.
- What about the lanai, the pool cage and an outdoor kitchen?
- A lanai counts as a room when it is being cleaned and as an exterior when it is being checked, so tell us which one you want and it goes on the written checklist for the house. Pool and yard maintenance belong to a different trade. We flag when they need attention rather than quietly doing half the job.
Send the bedroom and bathroom count and get the figure back today
Four or five bedrooms and we take the number straight off the table above. Six and up and we come and look first, then send a figure that does not move. Either way you also get told whether the first visit needs to be a deep clean, before you decide anything.
