A South Philly rowhouse is cleaned vertically. The stairs are narrow and they run through the middle of everything, the kitchen sits at the back off the dining room, and the bathroom is usually one flight up from where you are standing. Time goes into stairs, banisters and hallways as much as into rooms, which is why a rowhouse and an apartment of the same square footage are not the same job.
Basements matter here too. If the laundry, the freezer and the storage are all downstairs, say so and we will plan for the trips. Most homes on a block like this run on a visit once or twice a month, with a deep clean first if it has been a while, and prices work the way they do everywhere else in the city: by the home, not by a list. We cover East Passyunk, Pennsport, Girard Estate, Point Breeze, Dickinson Narrows and Whitman.
