Apartment Cleaning West Village | From $151

Apartment cleaning in the West Village, priced from $151 for a one-bedroom, for the oldest and most stair-heavy housing stock in the city. Whether you are in a Federal-era townhouse off Bedford Street, a garden-floor unit with yard access, or a waterfront condo at 160 Leroy, we clean around the specifics of the building rather than to a generic checklist. Book online in a couple of minutes.

What the West Village is built from

This is the oldest fabric of the ten neighborhoods we serve: Federal houses from the 1820s-1840s, Greek Revival from the 1840s-1860s, and Italianate brownstones from the 1860s-1880s, with pre-war tenements between them and a short waterfront condo strip. Almost every block sits inside the Greenwich Village Historic District, designated in 1969, which changes how we work outside as well as in.

The single operational fact that defines cleaning here is stairs. A typical townhouse is 15-25 feet wide, 40-60 feet deep, four or five floors, and 600-1,500 square feet per floor. A crew carries equipment up and down all day, and the staircase itself is one of the largest surfaces in the house: treads, risers, balusters, and a handrail that gets touched constantly. We count stair flights as a pricing and staffing factor, not an afterthought. Floors are original oak, pine, or cherry depending on era, often shellacked or soft underfoot, so they get pH-neutral cleaning and no standing water. Then there is stone: one house routinely holds marble, limestone, and soapstone across its kitchen and baths, which is three different care protocols under one roof. Add plaster moldings, 12-light windows with many slow-to-wash muntins, original ironwork, and several wood-burning fireplaces, and you have a home that rewards a crew that has cleaned these houses before.

Getting into your home

Most of the West Village has no concierge. Access runs on keys, lockboxes, codes, and intercoms, which suits owners who travel for work. We hold keys on a labeled, coded system and can work from a lockbox or door code you set. One landmark point we tell everyone plainly: historic-district rules often prohibit exterior lockboxes attached to a landmarked facade, so we arrange an interior handoff, a super, or a neighbor rather than bolting a box to your stoop. For the waterfront condos, service-entrance and freight-elevator rules apply, and where a board requires a certificate of insurance we issue a COI naming the building as additional insured; some boards ask for limits above the $1M baseline, and certs usually take up to 30 days, so tell us early.

What we clean here

Beyond the standard kitchen, bath, floors, dusting, and trash checklist, West Village homes get particular attention on:

• Full stair flights: treads, risers, balusters, handrails, and the landings between floors.
• Three-stone care: polished marble, limestone, and soapstone each cleaned to their own protocol, never one spray for all.
• Cast-iron radiators and behind their covers, standard in steam-heated pre-war buildings.
• 12-light and multi-muntin windows, plus original ironwork, washed by hand.
• Garden-level entries and yard-access rooms where tracked-in dirt collects daily.

Pricing

Apartment cleaning starts from $151 for a one-bedroom, $179 for two bedrooms, and $207 for three bedrooms. Sales tax for this address is 8.875%. Townhouses are quoted with stair flights and square footage per floor factored in. Recurring plans (weekly, twice-monthly, or monthly) carry a discount off the one-time rate, which is how most owners of a four- or five-floor house keep it maintained without a full reset every visit.

FAQ

Do you charge extra for a four- or five-story townhouse?

Stair flights are part of the quote. More floors mean more stairwell surface and more carrying time, so we price the house you actually have rather than a flat one-line rate.

Can you attach a lockbox to my stoop?

Usually not, and we will not risk it. Landmark rules across the historic district often ban exterior lockboxes on a facade. We use an interior box, a door code, a super, or a key on file instead.

How do you handle marble, limestone, and soapstone in the same house?

Separately. Polished marble and limestone are acid-sensitive and get stone-safe, pH-neutral products; soapstone tolerates more but still gets its own routine. We never use one bathroom spray on all three.

Do you clean behind radiator covers?

Yes. Cast-iron radiators are standard in pre-war steam-heated buildings here, and we clean the covers and the space behind them as part of a normal visit.

Is tax included in the price shown?

The from-$151 figures are pre-tax. Sales tax at this job address is 8.875% and appears on your final total.

Can one crew do the whole house in a day?

For most townhouses, yes. We size the crew to the floor count and stair flights so the house is finished in a single visit.

We also clean nearby in Greenwich Village, the Meatpacking District, Chelsea, SoHo, Hudson Square, and Tribeca. Book your West Village cleaning online and tell us the floor count and stone types so we can quote it accurately the first time.
