Empire's Aide & ServicesI called them in to do a chimney sweep. I had never had one performed in the 15 years we've lived in our 22 year-old home and I expected a mess. The tech arrived as scheduled, took one quick look up the flue, and could tell immediately that it was spotless and did not require a full service...
They had a schedule to keep, and were in and out. They are a vast improvement over the amateur service provided by my previous cleaner, Ithaclean.
I called at the end of September for a gutter cleaning and repair job, thinking a great roofing company would be gentle with my old house. They came out two weeks later to look and said the gutters were too old for them to repair. OK, so we were set up for them to be cleaned. Called them in...

The average cost to hire a house cleaner is between $30 and $50 per hour. Costs vary depending on house size, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the type of cleaning you want. Deep cleaning will be more expensive since it requires more time and effort to move furniture and clean hard-to-reach areas compared to a standard cleaning session.
The average cost of a professional upholstery cleaning is around $175, ranging between $75 and $350. There are many cost factors to consider, including the furniture type, size, and material. Certain types of upholstery necessitate dry cleaning products or more intensive cleaning, which are more expensive. You can expect to pay $200 to $500 to clean leather and suede couches, while loveseats are less expensive at $60 to $120. Silk and leather are the most expensive materials to clean, and wool, cotton, and polyester are the least expensive.
It might be possible to wash your couch upholstery, but we don’t recommend it. Couches labeled with a “W” or “W/S” on the tag might be okay to wash gently with a couch cleaner or a homemade couch cleaning solution, but you have to be very careful not to get the padding underneath wet, as it will deteriorate and potentially ruin your couch. You should hire a professional upholstery cleaner to guarantee a safe, deep clean for your favorite furniture items.
The average house cleaner cost is around $180, which should cover about four hours of work. However, each project is different and costs can range from $100 to $1,000, depending on the house size and the cleaning needed. Other cost factors can include your location and what level of cleaning you want. Standard or basic cleaning may include vacuuming, dusting, and disinfecting the kitchen and bathrooms. Deep cleaning costs about twice as much and often includes cleaning behind and underneath furniture, washing windows, and polishing hard-to-clean surfaces. Emergency cleaning, extreme cleaning, and holidays also impact pricing. Move-in and move-out cleaning typically cost more, too, because of the extensive, whole-house cleaning involved.
Although tipping is not a requirement, many people tip house cleaners around 10% to 15% of the final cleaning cost. Some people tip as much as 20% or more, but it’s up to your discretion. Rather than tipping each cleaning session, you can also tip monthly or give the house cleaner a holiday bonus. There are no rules for tipping, but if your house cleaner did a great job it’s encouraged.
