Cleaning company pricing can feel like a guessing game — vague estimates, callbacks required, totals that change at checkout. This post skips all of that. Recurring service with Wexford Cleaning starts at $132 per visit on a bi-weekly schedule, priced by bedrooms and bathrooms. Larger homes, one-time cleans, and move-in/out jobs cost more — and the exact amounts are all here.
Here's exactly what you'll pay.
Pittsburgh House Cleaning Prices by Home Size
Pricing is built from three inputs: bedrooms (base price), bathrooms (+$20 each), and square footage (surcharge kicks in at 1,500+ sq ft). The table below shows realistic totals for each home size — smaller homes land at the low end, larger ones at the high end — using bi-weekly rates (15% off) and one-time rates.
| Home Size | Typical Sq Ft | Bi-Weekly | Monthly | One-Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed / 1 bath | under 1,000 | $132 | $140 | $155 |
| 1 bed / 2 bath | under 1,000 | $149 | $158 | $175 |
| 2 bed / 1 bath | 900–1,400 | $157 | $167 | $185 |
| 2 bed / 2 bath | 900–1,400 | $174 | $185 | $205 |
| 3 bed / 2 bath | 1,400–2,000 | $247–$268 | $261–$284 | $290–$315 |
| 3 bed / 3 bath | 1,800–2,400 | $264–$285 | $279–$302 | $310–$350 |
| 4 bed / 2 bath | 2,000–2,500 | $268–$281 | $284–$297 | $315–$330 |
| 4 bed / 3 bath | 2,000–3,000 | $285–$315 | $302–$333 | $350–$370 |
| 5+ bed / 3+ bath | 2,500+ | Custom | Custom | Custom |
The ranges reflect the sq ft surcharge: +$25 at 1,500–1,999 sq ft, +$40 at 2,000–2,499, +$60 at 2,500–2,999. The booking form calculates your exact price automatically — enter your address and home size to see your number.

What's Included at That Price
A standard recurring clean covers everything you need to maintain a consistently clean home:
Every room: Vacuuming and mopping all floors, dusting surfaces, wiping down light switches and doorknobs, cobweb removal, emptying trash.
Bathrooms: Scrubbing toilets, sinks, showers, and tubs; cleaning mirrors; polishing fixtures; mopping floors.
Kitchen: Cleaning countertops and backsplash, wiping appliance exteriors, cleaning the stovetop, scrubbing the sink, mopping floors.
Bedrooms: Making beds, dusting furniture, vacuuming floors and under furniture.
Add-ons — like cleaning inside the oven, inside the fridge, or interior windows — are available at checkout for an extra charge.
First-Time and Deep Clean Pricing
If you haven't had a professional cleaning in the past month, your first visit will be a First Time Clean — priced at $100 above the standard rate. This extra time brings your home up to a consistent baseline before recurring service begins. Once it's done, every visit after that is faster and cheaper.
Deep cleans go further than a standard visit: inside appliances, baseboards, ceiling fans, interior windows, and anything else that gets skipped during regular maintenance. They follow similar pricing to a First Time Clean.
Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning
A move-in or move-out clean is a top-to-bottom deep clean: inside every cabinet and drawer, all appliances, every bathroom, every floor. It's available as a $150 add-on at booking, on top of the standard service price.
Most Pittsburgh-area landlords and buyers expect a professionally cleaned space — it's worth it.
Hourly Cleaning: $75/Hour
Sometimes a full-home clean isn't what you need. Maybe you want one problem area tackled before guests arrive, help after a renovation, or a focused session on the rooms that bother you most. That's what hourly cleaning is for.
Hourly service is $75 per cleaner per hour. You direct the priorities — no standard checklist, just the areas you care about most. Book hourly cleaning online or call 412-981-1122 to set it up.
What Affects the Price
Frequency: Weekly clients pay the lowest per-visit rate (20% off). Monthly clients pay 10% off. Bi-weekly — the most popular — saves 15%. The more often you book, the less each visit costs.
Current condition: A home that hasn't been cleaned professionally in months takes longer on the first visit. That's why the First Time Clean exists — it resets the baseline so recurring visits stay efficient.
Add-ons: Inside the oven ($20), inside the fridge ($20–$50 depending on contents), interior windows ($60), walls ($60), blinds ($8/set) — all priced individually at checkout.
Home size: Each bathroom adds $20 to the base bedroom price. Homes over 1,500 sq ft add $25–$60 depending on size. The booking form calculates all of this automatically.
Is Pittsburgh Cleaning Pricing Different from Other Cities?
Somewhat. Pittsburgh's cost of living sits in the middle of the national range — lower than New York or DC, higher than rural Ohio. Expect to pay $20–40 less per visit here than you would in Philadelphia or D.C. for the same home size.
North Hills suburbs like Cranberry Township, Wexford, and Fox Chapel fall within the same pricing range as the city itself.
Why Pricing Varies Between Services
You've probably noticed cleaning companies quoting very different prices for the same home size. A few reasons:
Some companies use contractors rather than employees — lower overhead, but less accountability and no consistent quality control. Employee-based services (like Wexford Cleaning) cost a bit more because the company handles payroll taxes, insurance, and vetting. You're paying for that structure.
Flat-rate online pricing is also genuinely more transparent than hourly billing. Hourly estimates can run long, leaving you with a surprise final bill. Bedroom/bathroom pricing means you see the exact number before you book.
Is Professional Cleaning Worth the Cost?
For most Pittsburgh families, a recurring cleaning visit saves 3 to 5 hours of work per week. On a bi-weekly schedule, that's 6 to 10 hours a month — hours that would otherwise go to scrubbing bathrooms, mopping floors, and wiping down kitchens after a long week.
But the bigger benefit isn't the hours. It's the mental load. You stop inventorying what needs to be done. You stop scheduling your weekend around chores. The bathroom is just clean when you walk in. The kitchen counter is clear on a Tuesday morning. That baseline — a home that's reliably clean without you managing it — is what most clients say they're actually paying for.
All Wexford Cleaning team members are background-checked, insured, and trained to a consistent standard. If anything is missed, we come back within 24 hours and make it right — no charge.
