House & Commercial Cleaning in Decatur, GA

Decatur bungalows take longer than their size suggests

Downtown Decatur is ringed by historic neighbourhoods full of Craftsman bungalows, Victorians, Tudors and townhouses — Oakhurst, Winnona Park, the MAK Historic District, Clairemont, Decatur Heights and Ponce de Leon Court.

These homes are the reason we quote on rooms and layout rather than a flat per-square-foot rate. A 1,900 sq ft Decatur bungalow has original trim, picture rails, transoms, built-in bookcases, heart pine floors, hex tile and often a clawfoot tub. A 1,900 sq ft new build in the suburbs has none of that. Same number on paper, materially different job.

Anyone who quotes your Decatur home by square footage alone is going to be surprised on the day — and you will feel it, either in a rushed clean or a revised price.

What we handle differently here

• Original wood floors — heart pine and oak get appropriate products, not a wet mop
• Hex and subway tile — small tile means a lot of grout line per square foot
• Painted porch ceilings — the haint blue tradition is worth not scrubbing off
• Radiators and picture rails — dust collectors that get skipped by crews working to a suburban checklist
• Detached garages and basements — often unfinished, and we will tell you if they are worth including

What house cleaning costs in Decatur

Recurring bi-weekly service, which is what most of our Decatur clients book:

• 2 bedroom / 1 bath — $132–$165 per visit
• 3 bedroom / 2 bath — $165–$205 per visit
• 4 bedroom / 3 bath — $213–$265 per visit

A first-time deep clean is required before recurring service starts — $311–$368 on a 3 bedroom. On a house that has been standing since the 1920s, that visit is where the difference actually gets made: baseboards, vents, inside cabinets, grout and window tracks all get reset so the visits after it stay on schedule.

Selling or handing back a rental? Move in/out on an empty 3 bedroom is $361–$430. See move in/out cleaning.

Restaurants and offices around the Square

The Square is the centre of Decatur life — bookshops, cafes, restaurants and a courthouse lawn that fills most evenings. That creates steady food-service work, and it runs on tight overnight windows.

A 2,500 sq ft restaurant with two restrooms cleaned nightly runs $1,987–$2,419 per month. That is front of house, restrooms, hard floors and degreasing. It does not include hood and duct cleaning, which is certified specialist work and should be contracted separately — we would rather say so than leave you exposed at inspection.

For professional offices around the Square and along Ponce, a 3,000 sq ft suite with two restrooms is $451–$549 weekly or $1,658–$2,018 nightly. See office cleaning or bar and restaurant cleaning.

Scheduling around City Schools of Decatur

Decatur has run its own independent school system since 1901 — one of only a handful of metro Atlanta municipalities that do. Its calendar does not match DeKalb County’s, and that matters to us practically: a lot of our Decatur families move their cleaning day around CSD breaks rather than the county calendar. Tell us your preferred day and we will hold it.
