Question 1

How much does a cleaning service cost in Tampa?

Accepted Answer

Residential standard cleaning for a 2BR/2BA home in Tampa ranges from $150 to $350 per clean. Tampa Bay's Maids tiers start at $220 (Basic), $280 (Intermediate), and $340 (Deluxe). Deep cleans and move-out cleans are $300–$800. Estimates are free.

Question 2

Are your cleaners W-2 employees or 1099 contractors?

Accepted Answer

W-2 employees, always. We do not use independent contractors. W-2 means payroll taxes are withheld, workers' compensation covers our staff if injured on the job, and the homeowner's liability exposure is lower.

Question 3

Are you insured and bonded?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Up to $1,000,000 in general liability coverage, full bonding for theft protection, and workers' compensation on every employee. Certificate of Insurance available on request.

Question 4

Do you speak Spanish?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every team rotation has at least one English-Spanish fluent member. All booking, phone, and on-site communication can happen in either language. Website and all materials are bilingual.

Question 5

Do you offer same-day cleaning service?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in the primary zone (Tampa, South Tampa, Westchase, New Tampa, Temple Terrace), subject to availability. Morning bookings maximize same-day odds. Next-day is typical for secondary zones like Brandon, Riverview, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg.

Question 6

Do you clean Airbnb and short-term rentals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tampa-area vacation-rental turnover is one of our core services. Same-day availability for 1BR and 2BR units with a 3–4 hour turnover window. Host provides linens and amenities; we handle reset.

Question 7

Do you do post-construction cleaning?

Question 9

How much should I pay a cleaner for 3 hours in Tampa?

Accepted Answer

For a 3-hour residential clean in Tampa, expect $150–$250 depending on scope. For a 3-hour deep clean with supervisor involvement and detail work, expect $250–$400. Both assume a professional bonded company, not a gig worker.
