What a standard clean includes
About Wilmington
Approximately 14.6% of housing units in Wilmington were built before 1950, while 32.9% were built in 2000 or later. The median year of construction for housing units is 1989. These varying construction eras can influence the specific cleaning approach, from older homes that might require different access considerations to newer builds with contemporary layouts. The city has 26,972 owner-occupied units and 29,640 renter-occupied units, each potentially presenting different scheduling needs. The average household size is 2.05 people.
Understanding these characteristics helps us determine appropriate crew sizes and estimated time on-site for each cleaning appointment. Whether navigating stairs in multi-story homes or accessing units in buildings with elevators, our approach is adapted to the specific conditions of Wilmington's residential properties.

Frequently asked questions
Most homes in Wilmington are apartments — how does that change the booking?
Only 49.9% of units in Wilmington are detached houses (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25024), so we plan for building access: entry codes, stairs or elevator, and where a crew can leave equipment. Add those details when you book and the crew arrives ready rather than waiting downstairs.
Does the age of the housing in Wilmington affect a deep clean?
Yes — the median home in Wilmington was built in 1989 and 14.6% of units date from before 1950 (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25035; US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25034). Older homes bring painted trim, original wood floors, radiator surrounds and grouted tile that all take longer than newer surfaces. Say what you have and we set a realistic time on the job rather than rushing it.
Can you clean between tenancies in Wilmington?
Yes. 29,640 occupied units in Wilmington are rented (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25003), so end-of-lease and turnover cleans are routine here. Book for the day after the keys come back and we work to an empty-property checklist.
How long does a clean take for a typical Wilmington household?
Average household size in Wilmington is 2.05 people (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25010), which in practice means family-sized kitchens, more bathrooms in use and more laundry surfaces than a single-occupant flat. A standard clean at that size is usually a half day; a first deep clean is longer.
How much of Wilmington do you actually cover?
All of it. Wilmington has 120,805 residents across 62,836 housing units (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B01003; US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25024) — a small enough area that we take bookings anywhere inside it rather than only on selected streets.
What do you need to know before a first visit in Wilmington?
How to get in, whether there is off-street parking, whether there are pets in the home, and anything you would rather we left alone. Those four answers decide the arrival window and how the crew packs the van.
Do you cover the rest of New Hanover County?
We take bookings across New Hanover County and list every area we cover on the county page — if an area is not listed, we are not open there yet rather than quietly taking the job.
What happens if something is missed?
Tell us within 24 hours and we arrange a return visit at no extra cost. That applies everywhere we work, Wilmington included.
