Scranton, Pennsylvania
Deep cleaning in Scranton.
Baseboards washed rather than spot-cleaned, inside the oven and the fridge, grout, vents, sills and light fixtures. It is always the first visit with a new client, because it is how we set an honest upkeep price instead of guessing at one.
Why a deep clean here takes the time it does.
Scranton is the hardest town on our map to quote without asking, and the reason is age rather than size. More than half the city's housing predates 1940 and nearly three quarters predates 1960, at a median of only 5.7 rooms — so small houses, considerable age, and time driven by detail rather than floor area. A quarter of all units sit in two-to-four-unit buildings, the anthracite double-block pattern still standing, which means shared entries and stairs rather than a whole-house job. The range runs from Green Ridge Victorians to tight South Side streets, across a valley that climbs from about 650 feet to 1,400.
Fourteen percent of Scranton households own no vehicle at all — the highest figure anywhere we work, and the clearest evidence that on-street parking rather than a driveway is the norm here. We plan for it when we schedule and ask in advance rather than turning up and guessing.
Scranton questions
We are in half a double block. Do you price that differently?
No, it is priced on your half — bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage, same as anywhere. A quarter of Scranton's housing sits in two-to-four-unit buildings, so this is the standard job here, not an unusual one. Tell us which entry is yours when you book.
Is there a travel charge to Scranton?
No. The published price is the price at your door. We group visits onto shared route days rather than running one-off trips, which is what makes that possible without quietly adding a distance line.
What if the deep clean isn't right?
Tell us by the end of the next day and we come back and do the room again — the whole room, not the one spot you pointed at — at no cost. One text is enough and you do not have to argue for it.

Our promise
If a clean is wrong, tell us by the end of the next day.
We come back and do the room again — the whole room, not the one spot you pointed at — and it costs you nothing. You don't have to argue for it or prove anything. One text is enough, and you have until the end of the day after your visit to send it.
The window is there so it means something. An open-ended promise is what everyone else writes, and it's worth about as much as it costs to write. A day and a half is long enough for you to actually walk the house, and short enough that we can still remember the room.
