How Much Is It to Clean a House? A CountBricks Residential Cost Breakdown

Whether you’ve just wrapped up a kitchen remodel or you’re preparing a property for listing, one question always pops up: how much is it to clean a house? The answer isn’t a flat number. It’s a calculated range shaped by square footage, the level of debris, local labor rates, and the specific cleaning scope. CountBricks’ AI-powered estimating platform captures every one of those variables in real time, delivering a price you can trust before the first dustpan hits the floor.

Why Post-Construction Cleaning Costs More Than a Routine Sweep

Standard housekeeping focuses on surface dust and everyday mess. Post-construction cleaning dives deeper, tackling drywall residue, paint splatters, and sawdust in HVAC vents. It also demands specialized equipment, trained crews, and often multiple passes. Because CountBricks connects directly to local labor databases and up-to-the-minute material suppliers, it adjusts for these demands automatically—no manual spreadsheet updates required.

Key Cost Drivers Captured by CountBricks

• Square footage and room count (more rooms often means more detailed fixtures to wipe down)
• Debris category: light, moderate, or heavy (heavy might include drywall mud or concrete dust)
• Access complexity: single-story ranch vs. three-story townhome with no elevator
• Specialty surfaces: marble, quartz, or reclaimed wood that require gentle cleaning agents
• Crew size and local prevailing wage data
• Disposal fees for construction debris and recyclable materials

Average Price Ranges in 2025
