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.
Unlike hourly and platform-based cleaning services that surface fees at checkout, our flat-rate house cleaning pricing in San Diego is confirmed before any Certified Specialist enters your home. All supplies, HEPA-13 filtration equipment, and targeted 275°F thermal shock on wet-zone fixtures are included in the base price — no add-on surprises. San Diego households from La Jolla to Coronado to Pacific Beach receive the same transparent pricing structure, with the same clinical protocols on every visit. The price you see in the table below is the price you pay.

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 — reset first, then maintain
A Standard (recurring) clean is maintenance: it keeps an already-clean home at baseline. A Deep Clean is the reset: 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 steam-led clinical protocol uses high-heat steam — just water and heat — for a reduced chemical footprint in your home. It's the difference between wiping a surface with a spray and hitting it with 275°F thermal shock that cuts through built-up grime.
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. Recurring clients receive one upgraded room complimentary every 4th visit.
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 is a different category from residential cleaning — silica, drywall fines, and adhesive residue need a dedicated 3-Phase HEPA Protocol. 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.
