What Changes the Price
Size and layout — more square footage and bathrooms mean more time. Condition — a first visit or a home that has not been professionally cleaned recently usually starts with a deep cleaning. Frequency — recurring clients pay less per visit (weekly 30% off, bi-weekly 25% off) because upkeep is faster than recovery. Pets and add-ons — extra hair, inside-fridge or inside-oven requests, and laundry add time.
Why the Cheapest Quote Is Rarely the Best Deal
In Boston you will find solo cleaners quoting less. The difference with a professional company: BraBos teams are trained, bonded and insured, backed by a 100% Delight Guarantee — if anything is not right, we come back and re-clean at no cost. That guarantee, plus 636+ five-star Google reviews across Boston, Cambridge, Newton, Somerville and Quincy, is what a few extra dollars per visit buys.
