Overview
Apartment cleaning for the densest city in New England
Somerville is mostly triple-deckers, and a triple-decker floor is a specific thing to clean: a front room, bedrooms down a long hall, a kitchen at the rear, and a back porch collecting grit. Our apartment cleaning teams work these units every day across Davis, Porter, Union, Magoun, and Ball Squares and move through them front to back with a plan. Newer condos at Assembly Row and along the Green Line Extension add elevator buildings with concierges and stone counters, which we handle just as routinely.
Somerville apartments are frequently shared. Tufts and Harvard graduate students, young professionals commuting to Kendall, artists, and small families all split floors and split the cost of cleaning. We charge one card per visit and let roommates rotate it or settle up among themselves. Weekly and biweekly plans are the norm because a shared kitchen and bathroom see heavy use. A two-bedroom floor takes our team about two hours.
September 1 is the biggest day of the year in Somerville, when much of the city changes apartments at once. We hold move-in and move-out capacity for it and coordinate keys with landlords who manage several units. For routine cleaning, access is a key or code, teams carry equipment up every flight, and permit parking is planned block by block. None of it affects your upfront quote or the satisfaction guarantee.

When to book
Cleaning schedules for Somerville apartments
Weekly for shared units
Roommates sharing one kitchen and one bathroom put heavy wear on both. Weekly visits end the chore-chart negotiations.
Biweekly for one- and two-bedrooms
For singles and couples, every two weeks keeps the unit consistently clean without paying for visits you do not need.
Monthly for studios
Small spaces stay tidy with light upkeep. A monthly visit handles the tub, stovetop, and high dust properly.
One-time before inspections or guests
Landlord walkthroughs, a visiting parent, or a sublet handoff. Book a single visit and upgrade to a deep clean if needed.

Reviews
What neighbors say after the first visit
“Left a triple-decker apartment after four years. The landlord walked through, opened the oven, checked the tub, and handed back the full deposit on the spot.”
“Two people arrive every other Thursday, work through the whole house in about two hours, and the kitchen looks the way it did the day we moved in. I have stopped thinking about cleaning entirely.”
“My building has strict elevator rules and they handled the check-in with the concierge without me being there. Floor-to-ceiling windows spotless, no streaks. That alone was worth it.”
