Cleaning services in San Marcos

The 30-day clock starts when you surrender the home, but the landlord doesn't have to refund or itemize until you give a written forwarding address. Deductions must be for damage or charges you're liable for under the lease, listed in writing. A landlord who keeps a deposit in bad faith can owe $100, three times the amount wrongly withheld and your reasonable attorney's fees.

HomeGuide's national figures from April 2024 put move-out cleaning at $180 to $300 for a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home and $120 to $180 for a 2-bedroom, 1-bath, or $0.22 to $0.33 per square foot. Take dated photos when the cleaners finish. San Marcos residential garbage customers can also drop brush off free on the second Saturday of each month if you're clearing the yard.

The Comptroller treats cleaning a home as a taxable service, the same as cleaning an office. Texas charges 6.25% state sales tax, and local governments can add up to 2%, for a maximum combined rate of 8.25%. A cleaning service should collect state tax plus any local city, county, special district or transit tax on what it bills. Ask the company which local rate it applies and check the quote total.

The Comptroller's household exemption covers a self-employed housekeeper who works directly for the household as its employee. Someone sent by a cleaning business doesn't qualify.

Regular cleaning costs about $200 a visit on HomeGuide's national average, with most people paying $120 to $280, and hourly rates of $25 to $75 per worker. HomeGuide notes that most cleaners price by the hour, the number of workers and the rooms, so ask which method a quote uses. For a deep clean, its range is $180 to $280 for a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home and $200 to $400 for a 4-bedroom, 3-bath home. San Marcos prices can differ, so get two written quotes for the same rooms and compare them line by line.

The DPS public conviction database can be searched by name and covers Class B misdemeanors and up reported to DPS; a blank result doesn't prove a clean record. If a seller solicits you at home and you agree there to services over $25, you generally have until midnight of the third business day to cancel. A complaint filed online with the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division becomes public under Texas law.
