Your estimate.

Choose the details that fit your home. See an itemized estimate instantly, then text Gulf Star to confirm the scope, service area, and final price.

01 / YOUR CLEANWhat do you have in mind?

The first visit uses the selected service at its full rate. Recurring savings start on later standard-cleaning visits; extras are not discounted.

02 / YOUR SPACEA little about your home.

Use the full livable area, including finished basement space. Don’t include garages or outdoor areas.

Partial cleans need a tailored quote so we can agree on exactly which rooms and tasks are included.

03 / THE FINISHING TOUCHESMake it your clean.

Move-in/out includes one single oven, one empty refrigerator, and empty kitchen cabinet interiors. These won’t be charged twice. Specialty windows, extra appliances, laundry, and unusually large kitchens need a separate quote.

What is included in each cleaning?

Standard: accessible surface dusting, kitchen counters and appliance exteriors, bathroom fixtures, mirrors, vacuuming, and mopping.

Deep: standard tasks plus detailed accessible baseboards, door frames, window sills, and additional attention to normal buildup. Appliance and cabinet interiors are separate add-ons.

Move-in/out: deep scope for an empty home, plus one single oven, one empty refrigerator, and empty kitchen cabinet interiors. Utilities must be available.

Hoarding, biohazards, mold remediation, post-construction dust, exterior windows, carpet extraction, and unsafe or inaccessible areas are outside this estimator.

How is the estimate calculated?

Home size sets the base price and includes an allowance for bedrooms and bathrooms. Only rooms above that allowance add to the price: $15 per extra bedroom, $25 per extra full bathroom, or $12.50 per extra half bathroom. Deep service uses 1.5× the adjusted base; move-in/out uses 1.8×. Extras are then added. These are proposed Gulf Star rates, not competitor quotes.

Later standard visits receive 20% weekly, 15% every two weeks, or 10% every four weeks off the adjusted standard base. Add-ons stay full price. A deep clean may be recommended for the first visit after reviewing the home's condition.
