Maid service costs $120 to $280 per cleaning on average, depending on home size and cleaning frequency, with hourly rates of $25 to $70 per cleaner (HomeGuide, January 2026)1. Angi and HomeAdvisor both put professional house cleaning at $118 to $238 per visit, averaging $176 (September and June 2026)23 — the two are corporate siblings, and matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration. Fixr prices house cleaning at $150 to $250 for a standard one-time clean of a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, averaging $221 (January 2025)4. HomeGuide’s page prices maid service specifically; the other three label their pages house cleaning or house cleaner, and their figures appear here under those labels. Angi’s average draws on 98,643 verified projects reported by Angi Pros2, and HomeGuide’s on 4,291 project costs reported by its members1; the pages don’t establish equivalent project scopes, so figures across them aren’t like-for-like. All figures are the latest published data from each source.
Cost by service type
Per-visit prices by cleaning type, as published by each source. Fixr’s per-visit figures are based on an average 2,300-square-foot home4:
| Service type | HomeGuide maid service (per visit) | Angi house cleaning (per visit) | Fixr house cleaning (per visit) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard / one-time | $140 – $330* | $75 – $175 | $75 – $175 |
| Deep cleaning | $200 – $550 | $200 – $400 | $200 – $400 |
| Move-in / move-out | $150 – $500 | up to $500 | $200 – $400 |
| Event cleaning | (not listed) | $100 – $500 | (not listed) |
*HomeGuide’s text and service-type table put a one-time cleaning at $140 to $330, while its one-time pricing table lists $200 to $350; the page doesn’t reconcile the two1. Angi’s standard range and Fixr’s basic range are both $75 to $175 — separately published figures, and the pages state no shared sourcing24. On deep cleaning, all three publish $200 to $400 or wider; HomeGuide’s deep-cleaning band reaches $550124.
Cost by cleaning frequency
HomeGuide’s recurring-service prices, per visit1:
| Home size | Weekly (per visit) | Biweekly (per visit) |
|---|---|---|
| Apartment | $75 – $145 | $85 – $170 |
| 1,500 sq ft home | $100 – $200 | $115 – $220 |
| 2,500 sq ft home | $130 – $250 | $135 – $275 |
HomeGuide’s monthly service runs $120 to $300 per visit1. Angi prices weekly house cleaning at $75 to $200 per visit and biweekly at $100 to $250 per visit; HomeAdvisor puts weekly cleaning at $75 to $200 per week and biweekly at $100 to $250 per visit. Angi translates those schedules to $300 to $800 per month for weekly service and $200 to $500 per month for biweekly23.
Fixr publishes annual contract costs instead, calculated from visits by two cleaners under a yearly contract4:
| Frequency | Cost per year with contract (Fixr) |
|---|---|
| Quarterly | $350 – $1,600 |
| Monthly | $840 – $4,080 |
| Bi-weekly | $1,560 – $8,320 |
| Weekly | $2,600 – $15,600 |
Cost by home size
HomeGuide’s maid pricing by bedrooms and bathrooms, per visit (half baths count as full bathrooms on its table)1:
| Home size | One time (per visit) | Weekly (per visit) | Biweekly (per visit) | Monthly (per visit) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed, 1 bath | $110 – $200 | $75 – $120 | $85 – $125 | $95 – $170 |
| 2 bed, 1 bath | $120 – $210 | $80 – $130 | $90 – $150 | $100 – $180 |
| 2 bed, 2 bath | $140 – $225 | $95 – $145 | $100 – $170 | $120 – $190 |

| 4 bed, 3 bath | $200 – $380 | $150 – $250 | $160 – $275 | $180 – $300 |
| 5 bed, 3 bath | $210 – $400 | $170 – $310 | $175 – $370 | $200 – $380 |
| More than 5 bedrooms | $240 – $600 | $190 – $420 | $200 – $440 | $225 – $550 |
Angi’s square-footage table, per visit2:

Fixr’s square-footage table, per visit4:
| Home size (sq ft) | Basic (per visit) | Deep (per visit) | Moving (per visit) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 800 | $64 – $80 | $80 – $240 | $160 – $360 |

| 2,500 | $200 – $250 | $250 – $750 | $500 – $1,125 |
| 3,000 | $240 – $300 | $300 – $900 | $600 – $1,350 |
| 3,500 | $280 – $350 | $350 – $1,050 | $700 – $1,575 |
| 4,000 | $320 – $400 | $400 – $1,200 | $800 – $1,800 |
| 4,500 | $360 – $450 | $450 – $1,350 | $900 – $2,925 |
| 5,000 | $400 – $500 | $500 – $1,500 | $1,000 – $2,250 |
| 6,000 | $480 – $600 | $600 – $1,800 | $1,200 – $2,700 |
Per square foot, HomeGuide quotes $0.06 to $0.15 for standard cleaning and $0.20 or more for one-time, deep, or move-out work1; Angi and HomeAdvisor quote $0.10 to $0.20 for a standard clean, up to $0.25 for deep cleaning, and up to $0.35 for move-out cleaning23; Fixr quotes $0.08 to $0.10 for basic, $0.10 to $0.30 for deep, and $0.20 to $0.45 for moving services4.
Hourly rates
Hourly pricing by who does the work, per cleaner134:
| Source | Independent cleaner (per hour) | Cleaning company (per hour) |
|---|---|---|
| HomeGuide | $15 – $40 | $25 – $70 |
| HomeAdvisor | $12 – $25 | $25 – $80 |
| Fixr (basic service) | $25 – $40 | $40 – $50 |
Angi gives $25 to $50 per cleaner per hour without splitting independent from company rates2. HomeGuide notes lower-end company rates can apply when a team cleans together, and that independent cleaners may not be licensed or insured1.
Fixr’s hourly rates by crew size, per hour4:
| Cleaners | Basic (per hour) | Deep (per hour) | Moving (per hour) |
|---|---|---|---|
| One | $25 – $45 | $60 – $100 | $35 – $70 |
| Two | $50 – $90 | $90 – $120 | $70 – $140 |
| Three | $75 – $135 | $100 – $400 | $110 – $210 |
Full-time and live-in maid cost
| Arrangement | HomeGuide | HomeAdvisor | Angi |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | $1,500 – $2,700 per month ($18,000 – $35,000 per year) | $1,200 – $2,500 per month (about $14,400 – $30,000 per year) | (not listed) |
| Live-in | $20,000 – $55,000 per year ($1,900 – $4,300 per month, plus room and board) | $30,000 – $60,000 per year | $625 – $1,250 per week ($2,500 – $5,000 per month) |
For comparison, HomeGuide puts a year of weekly maid visits at $4,200 to $13,0001. HomeGuide and HomeAdvisor both note that a live-in or full-time maid is generally your household employee, with federal employment taxes to pay; HomeGuide points readers to IRS Publication 926, the Household Employer’s Tax Guide13.
Cost per room
HomeGuide prices a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home at $130 to $320 and a one-bedroom apartment at $100 to $200, with additional rooms at $20 to $25 each1. Angi adds $25 to $35 per bedroom on a standard clean and $35 to $100 or more on a deep clean, plus $10 to $40 per additional bathroom; bathroom-only cleaning runs $70 to $1702. HomeAdvisor quotes $30 to $80 per bedroom3.
Fixr’s per-room pricing, per visit4:
| Room | Basic (per visit) | Deep (per visit) | Moving (per visit) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laundry room | $20 – $30 | $25 – $40 | $30 – $60 |

| Attic | $150 – $170 | $160 – $500 | $155 – $500 |
Add-on services

HomeGuide separately prices exterior window cleaning at $150 to $370 total or $8 to $16 per window1; Fixr lists exterior windows at $6.40 to $12.80 per unit4.
Prices by company
HomeGuide quotes two national brands on a per-cleaning and per-team basis: Merry Maids at $150 to $300 per cleaning, and Molly Maid at $60 to $100 per hour per team of two to three maids, or $120 to $220 for weekly or biweekly service1. Fixr publishes hourly rates by company instead4:
| Company | Cost per hour (Fixr) |
|---|---|
| Tidy | $30 – $80 |
| Ecomaids | $30 – $100 |
| MaidPro | $35 – $70 |
| The Maids | $60 – $125 |
| The Cleaning Authority | $75 – $95 |
| Maid Brigade | $75 – $150 |
| Molly Maid | $75 – $200 |
| Merry Maids | $80 – $250 |
The two sources price on different bases — HomeGuide’s Molly Maid figure covers a team of two to three, while Fixr’s table lists hourly rates — so their brand figures aren’t directly comparable14.
Maid service prices by city
HomeGuide’s local price ranges, per cleaning1:
| City | Average price (per cleaning) |
|---|---|
| Atlanta, GA | $120 – $280 |
| Chicago, IL | $90 – $280 |
| Dallas, TX | $120 – $300 |
| Denver, CO | $125 – $290 |
| Los Angeles, CA | $110 – $280 |

| New York, NY | $115 – $290 |
| San Francisco, CA | $140 – $320 |

What affects the price
- Pets — HomeGuide says most maids charge $15 to $40 more for homes with pets1.
- Providing your own supplies — a $5 to $10 per-visit discount at some companies, per HomeGuide; Fixr puts the saving at about $5 to $10 per session14.
- Eco-friendly products — HomeGuide quotes $5 to $10 more per visit, while Fixr puts cleaner-provided organic products at an extra $50 to $100; the figures are as published, with different scopes14.
- Cancellation and no-access fees — $50 to $125, or 20% to 50% of the cleaning price, for less than 48 hours’ notice, per HomeGuide1.
- Rooms and bathrooms — extra bedrooms and bathrooms raise the total on every source’s pricing model123.
- Minimum fees — HomeGuide notes minimum fees may apply on its square-footage table; Fixr notes some services charge a two-hour minimum14.
Cleaning it yourself instead? HomeGuide puts basic cleaning tools at $10 to $20 each and cleaning products at $3 to $15 per bottle1. Cleaning Products at The Home Depot lists current options and prices (plain category link; no affiliate relationship).
Tipping
HomeGuide and HomeAdvisor both put standard tipping at 10% to 20% (HomeGuide adds or $10 to $20 per cleaning), split among the crew; for recurring service with the same maid, HomeGuide suggests a year-end bonus instead of tipping every visit13. Fixr recommends tipping individual cleaners up to 15%, while it says tipping is less common with companies — it suggests asking the company about its policy4.
