The half story upstairs is where the dust goes to hide
Plenty of Beaverdale brick houses have a story and a half, with knee walls, dormer nooks and a steep stair to the rooms under the roof. Dust collects along those low walls, and hauling the vacuum up there is the chore that slides first. Recurring cleaning keeps both floors in hand, with the per-visit price on screen before you commit.
Send guests up the Beaverdale stair to the dormer room without a warning
Pick how often you want us and the price for each Des Moines visit shows before anyone asks your name. Every two weeks costs 15% less per visit than a one-time clean, and the upstairs is part of every visit.
A kept Beaverdale brick and a Sherman Hill flat at move-out need different cleans
A Des Moines home that gets regular care needs a standard clean, and one that's slipped needs a deep clean or the extra-dirty level. Moving in or out of one of Sherman Hill's old houses split into apartments has its own level, and so do rental turnovers. Oven and fridge are extras you tick.
- Standard clean
- Deep clean
- Move-in or move-out clean
- Vacation-rental turnover
- Extra dirty (above average)
- Inside the oven, +$40
- Inside the fridge and freezer, +$25
