Why Did Merry Maids Charge $550 for a Two-Bedroom Move-Out in Briargate?

Most Briargate renters are shocked when national cleaning companies quote “affordable pricing,” then charge $450–$550 for a two-bedroom move-out — and not everything is included.

Here are the three biggest reasons this happens:

1 — Add-ons for basic tasks: Many companies charge extra for ovens, fridges, blinds, baseboards, and window tracks. These are the exact areas inspectors check — so renters often have no choice but to pay the upcharge.

2 — Time-based pricing, not flat-rate: If the job “takes longer than expected,” the price increases. That structure almost always works against the renter.

3 — High corporate overhead: National franchises usually have higher fees, advertising costs, and admin charges — and those costs show up in the bill.

Here’s the good news:

Clean Ways doesn’t work this way. Our move-out cleaning is always flat-rate with everything included:

✔ Oven interior

✔ Fridge interior

✔ Blinds & baseboards

✔ Window tracks

✔ Bathrooms & kitchen

✔ Before/after photos

✔ No add-ons, ever
