House cleaning rates in Raleigh typically range from $120 to $350+ per visit, depending on your home's size, the type of service, and its current condition. A standard recurring visit for a 3-bedroom home generally falls between $150 and $250, while a first-time or move-out clean runs higher due to the additional detail work involved.

At Cura Maids, we provide a free estimate based on your home's specifics — square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, pets, and any add-on requests. Our pricing is upfront with no hidden fees, and recurring clients receive a lower per-visit rate than one-time bookings — up to 30% off with a weekly plan.

Tipping your maid service team is never required, but it is always appreciated. The general guideline for recurring housekeeping is $5–$20 per visit depending on the size of your home and the quality of the work. For a thorough job on a larger home or after a particularly detailed visit, $20–$30 is a generous and common tip.

If you have a regular team assigned to your home — which is how Cura Maids operates — a holiday tip equivalent to one visit's cost is a thoughtful way to show appreciation at year-end. Ultimately, a kind word and a consistent booking mean just as much to a dedicated team as a cash tip.

A solid monthly home maintenance schedule covers the tasks that weekly tidying tends to miss. Each month your visit should include thorough bathroom scrubbing, kitchen sanitization, dusting ceiling fans and vents, vacuuming under furniture, and wiping baseboards. These are the buildup areas that become a bigger job the longer they're left.

With a Cura Maids monthly plan, every visit follows our 77-Star Cleaning Checklist — a structured room-by-room standard that ensures nothing gets overlooked. For households that stay relatively tidy between visits, a monthly recurring service keeps your home in top condition without the commitment of a weekly or bi-weekly schedule.

The key to maintaining your home between visits is a simple daily reset — not a full clean. A few consistent habits make a big difference: wipe kitchen counters after cooking, do a quick bathroom wipe-down every few days, and put things back in their place each evening. These small actions prevent buildup from getting out of hand before your next scheduled visit.

Recurring clients tell us the biggest benefit of a regular maid service isn't just the clean itself — it's the motivation to stay on top of daily tidying between visits. When you know a professional team is coming, maintenance becomes a habit rather than a chore. Your Cura Maids team handles the deep work so your between-visit effort stays minimal.

A bi-weekly housekeeping visit should cover everything in a standard recurring plan: all bathrooms scrubbed and disinfected, kitchen surfaces and sinks cleaned, floors vacuumed and mopped, furniture dusted, and living areas tidied. Because visits happen every two weeks, the team can address light buildup before it becomes a heavier job — which is why bi-weekly is our most popular recurring plan.

At Cura Maids, every bi-weekly visit follows the same 77-Star Checklist used on all our recurring appointments — so you get a consistent, thorough result every time. You can also request focus areas or add-ons like inside appliances, window sills, or cabinet interiors to be built into your rotation.

Getting started is simple. Contact Cura Maids by phone, text, or through our website and we'll build a plan around your home, schedule, and budget. You choose your frequency — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly — your preferred day, and whether you need weekend availability. We confirm your first visit, assign your team, and take it from there.
