Cleaning details and local conditions

These properties often allow for direct access and may require a different crew configuration compared to other housing types.

Charleston's housing stock also includes a mix of older and newer constructions. 13.2% of housing units were built before 1950, while a substantial 45.1% were constructed in 2000 or later, with the median year of construction being 1995. This range in building age can affect cleaning methods and equipment, particularly in areas like plumbing or sensitive surfaces. With 30,211 renter-occupied units and 37,816 owner-occupied units, the city's residential composition further shapes how cleaning services are scoped to meet specific needs across its 154,338 residents.

Frequently asked questions

Most homes in Charleston are apartments — how does that change the booking?

Only 47.7% of units in Charleston 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 Charleston affect a deep clean?

Yes — the median home in Charleston was built in 1995 and 13.2% 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 Charleston?

Yes. 30,211 occupied units in Charleston 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 Charleston household?

Average household size in Charleston is 2.18 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 Charleston do you actually cover?

All of it. Charleston has 154,338 residents across 77,417 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 Charleston?

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 Charleston County?

We take bookings across Charleston 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.
