House cleaning costs in Montgomery and Huntsville typically come down to three things: your home's square footage, its current condition, and how often you book service. Recurring customers pay less per visit than one-time bookings — Halo's recurring plans save 8% monthly, 15% biweekly, or 20% weekly off the one-time rate. The only way to get an exact number for your home is a quote, since no two homes clean the same way.
What actually affects the price
Square footage and layout. A 1,200-square-foot condo and a 3,500-square-foot house with a finished basement take different amounts of time, even with the same number of bedrooms.
Condition going in. A home that's been on a regular cleaning schedule needs less time than one that hasn't been deep cleaned in a while. This is usually why a first cleaning costs more than the recurring visits that follow it — a deep clean tackles buildup that a standard clean isn't designed to touch.
How often you book. Weekly and biweekly customers see the biggest discounts, because consistent access to your home means less time re-establishing a baseline every visit.
Pets, and specific requests. Homes with pets, or requests like inside-oven cleaning or interior windows, typically add a bit of time.
Why we don't publish a flat price list
A flat "$X per bedroom" number sounds simple, but it's usually wrong for at least half the homes it's applied to — a two-bedroom apartment and a two-bedroom house with a garage and a yard-facing sunroom aren't the same job. Instead, request a free quote and tell us a little about your space; we'll give you a real number before you commit to anything.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a deep clean more expensive than a standard clean?
Yes, typically — a deep clean takes longer because it covers areas a standard clean doesn't, like baseboards, ceiling fans, and the inside of appliances. Most customers book one deep clean to start, then move to standard cleans on a recurring schedule.
Do you charge more for first-time cleanings?
Often, yes, if the home hasn't had a professional clean recently — this is usually addressed by starting with a deep clean rather than a standard clean.
Is there a cancellation fee?
Cancellations under 24 hours are subject to a $50 fee; same-day cancellations or no-shows are billed at 50% of the service cost.
