Bravo Maids uses a flat-rate pricing system based on your home's bedroom and bathroom count — not an hourly estimate that changes after the cleaner arrives. Every price tier is published on this page so you can confirm your exact cost before booking. Prices range from $170 for a studio recurring clean to $382.50 for a studio move-out, with transparent scaling by home size across all three service tiers.

All supplies and equipment, including targeted steam cleaning on wet-zone fixtures, are included in the base price — no add-on surprises.

What Affects House Cleaning Pricing in San Diego?
Three factors determine your exact cleaning cost—home size, cleaning type, and frequency.
Home Size (Beds & Baths)
We price from your bedroom and bathroom count—not vague hourly estimates. A Studio costs $170 recurring; a 3B2B costs $280. Larger floor plans add a published square-footage tier on top of that rate.
Cleaning Type
Standard, Deep Clean, or Move-Out. The cleaning cost scales based on scope: Standard is maintenance, Deep adds detailed scrubbing, Move-Out adds interior cabinet cleaning tracked on our Digital Job Checklist. Compare Standard vs. Deep Clean →
Frequency
Weekly recurring clients save 20% and bi-weekly clients save 15% off standard rates. The more consistent the schedule, the lower your per-visit cleaning cost. See bi-weekly house cleaning in San Diego for what each visit covers.
For large San Diego homes
Estate Care Program
4,000+ sq ft, or more than 4 bedrooms or 4 bathrooms.
Large homes don't fit a flat rate. A 4,000 sq ft house with five bathrooms isn't the same job twice in a row, and pricing it as though it were means somebody loses — either you overpay, or we rush.
So estate homes are billed on actual labor time at $75 per hour, per specialist. You are never handed a bare hourly rate and left guessing: before we book, you get an estimated total range and a guaranteed not-to-exceed cap. If the job runs long, that's our problem — you never pay above your cap.
| Service | Estimated Range | Guaranteed Cap |
|---|---|---|
| First Deep CleanFirst visit — every estate home starts here | $1,350 – $1,650 | $1,650 max |
| Weekly20% off | $720 – $900 / visit | $900 max |
| Bi-Weekly15% off | $765 – $956 / visit | $956 max |
| Tri-Weekly12.5% off | $787 – $984 / visit | $984 max |
| Monthly10% off | $810 – $1,012 / visit | $1,012 max |
Recurring ranges are the maintenance visit after your first Deep Clean. Your final bill is calculated on time actually worked, down to the minute, and never exceeds the cap shown.
What every estate home gets
- Dedicated specialist team. The same background-checked cleaners every visit. They learn your home — which surfaces, which rooms, which door.
- Price cap guarantee. Your quoted cap is a ceiling, not a target. Run long and we absorb it.
- Kitchen and bathroom steam care. Sinks, showers, tubs, toilets — included every visit at no extra charge. Steam cleans using just water and heat.
- $30+/hr for our cleaners. We pay well above the San Diego market rate. That is why the same team keeps showing up.
- $2M general liability insurance. Every visit, every home.
Our Pricing, Explained in Plain Language
Four things worth understanding before you book — so the price you see is never a surprise.
Maintenance vs. Deep Clean — start clean, then maintain
A Standard (recurring) clean is maintenance: it keeps an already-clean home looking that way. A Deep Clean starts you off: it cuts through built-up grime, soap scum, and grout buildup so maintenance visits can hold that result. That's why a new recurring plan starts with a Deep Clean when your home hasn't been professionally cleaned in the last 30 days — starting maintenance on top of buildup means the buildup never gets addressed. If your home was professionally cleaned within 30 days, you can start on the Standard rate with a quick scope acknowledgment in the booking form.
Our 275°F steam is nothing but water and heat
Our targeted steam treatment uses only water and heat. We use surface-appropriate cleaning products for other tasks when needed — we want to be upfront that steam is one part of the visit, not the whole service.
What steam is free — and what's the $80/room upgrade
Wet-zone fixtures — sinks, showers, and toilets — get targeted 275°F steam free on every visit. The All-Hard-Surface Steam Upgrade ($80 per room) extends steam to whole hard surfaces: floors, counters, and tile walls. Every 4th completed recurring clean includes a free All-Hard-Surface Steam Upgrade for 1 room.
Hourly service buys time — flat-rate buys a finished result
Estate and post-construction work is billed at $75/hr per cleaner. Hourly service reserves professional cleaner-hours that you prioritize — it guarantees the time, not a fixed checklist. Every flat-rate service on this page is the opposite: a guaranteed finished scope, whatever it takes.
Post-Construction Cleaning
Just finished a renovation or new build? Construction dust — drywall fines, sawdust, adhesive residue — is a different job from residential cleaning and needs a thorough, HEPA-filtered vacuuming pass. Post-Construction is quoted separately from the flat-rate table above. For hosts managing short-term rentals, we also offer vacation rental turnover cleaning with the same fast, checklist-driven pricing.
