Prices in OttawaHouse Cleaning starts at $99 per visit. Beyond that, we do not list set prices, because a cleaning price is mostly time. Here is what drives a quote, service by service.

Home / Cleaning prices
The short answer
Four things set the price of a cleaning job: the size of the space, its condition, how often it is cleaned and which extras you add. A cleaning price is mostly time, so anything that adds time or changes the work changes the number.
That is why a fair answer is a method, not a single figure. A tidy two-bedroom condo is a different job from a family house with pets, stairs and a long gap since the last clean.
Factors
The same handful of factors come up whatever the service. None is a hidden extra: they are the questions any cleaner needs answered.
| Factor | What it means | Why it changes the quote |
|---|---|---|
| Size | Bedrooms and bathrooms for a home; rooms and total area for carpet; floor area and washrooms for an office | More space means more time |
| Condition | Heavy buildup, pet hair, grease or construction dust | A space in poor shape takes longer to restore |
| Frequency | One-off clean or a regular schedule, and the gap since the last clean | A first visit and a repeat visit are different jobs |
| Extras | Inside the oven or fridge, interior windows, baseboards, stairs, stain treatment | Each one adds work |
| Access and parking | Stairs, long carries, elevator booking, building rules | They change how long a visit takes |
| Floor types | Mixed surfaces underfoot | Different surfaces call for different methods |

Quote steps
Every quote follows roughly the same path.
Type, size, condition, frequency, extras and access.
Anything unclear is checked before a price is attached.
Scope, price, any extras charged separately, parking if it applies, and tax.
Accept, ask for a change or walk away. A changed scope means a changed price.
Scope
A quote covers the scope agreed for your space, and each service page spells out the work normally inside it. Read the scope as closely as the price. If the quote does not name something, do not assume it is in.
First clean
The first visit is often the longest, because it deals with whatever has built up. After that, a regular visit starts from a space that has already been reset.
Be honest about the starting point when you ask. Accurate details let the first visit be scoped realistically and avoid a surprise on the day.
Comparing
Compare scope before price. A lower quote that covers less work is a different job, not a cheaper one.
