Cleaning details and local conditions
Columbia's housing landscape includes a significant portion of older homes, with 18.3% of units built before 1950. These properties may feature unique layouts or require specific attention to details like older fixtures. Newer construction, representing 31.4% of units built in 2000 or later, often presents different considerations, such as modern appliances or open-concept spaces. The median year of construction for housing units is 1980.
Whether a property is one of the 24,162 owner-occupied units or among the 28,914 renter-occupied units, factors like the number of floors and access points are considered. For example, a multi-story home may necessitate more time due to stairs, while an apartment in a building might involve elevator access. These details help in accurately scoping each cleaning visit.

Frequently asked questions
Most homes in Columbia are apartments — how does that change the booking?
Only 49.5% of units in Columbia 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 Columbia affect a deep clean?
Yes — the median home in Columbia was built in 1980 and 18.3% 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 Columbia?
Yes. 28,914 occupied units in Columbia 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 Columbia household?
Average household size in Columbia is 2.16 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 Columbia do you actually cover?
All of it. Columbia has 139,643 residents across 62,021 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 Columbia?
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 Richland County?
We take bookings across Richland 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.
