Annapolis area · Maryland
Arnold is mostly owner occupied detached houses, with more than half built in the 1970s and 1980s. A cleaning plan here is about catching up on decades of wear, then keeping it steady.
Glen Burnie has many homes from 1950 to 1979 and a real rental market, with about 36 percent of occupied homes rented. A plan here fits postwar houses, apartments and lease turnovers.
The Annapolis Historic District holds some of the oldest homes in the area on some of its lowest ground. A cleaning plan here deals with fragile finishes, tide grit and careful access.
Severna Park is almost entirely detached, owner occupied homes, with a building peak in the 1980s and the B&A Trail running through it. A plan here is about space, floors and long term care.
Other places in the Annapolis area: Broadneck, Cape St. Claire, Chartwell, Chartwell Forest, Chesapeake Harbour, Eastport, Freetown, Green Haven, Lake Shore, Murray Hill, Pasadena, Quarterfield, Riviera Beach, Sunrise Beach, Woodward Park.

Annapolis is a small city with a lot going on at its edges. Water reaches the lowest streets at high tide, spring pollen coats windshields, and the houses range from the Colonial Annapolis Historic District to townhouses and apartment buildings. TotalCare Cleaning will service Annapolis and the surrounding part of Anne Arundel County, and this page sets out what those conditions mean for keeping a home clean.
Prices will depend on the size of the home rather than on the hours spent there. The guides linked below take each subject further, including what Maryland expects at a move-out inspection and how to deal with the grit left after a flood tide.
About 60 percent of homes in the City of Annapolis were built before 1980, and about 15 percent in 1939 or earlier. Detached homes account for about 40 percent of units, attached homes such as townhouses for about 25 percent, and buildings with five or more units for about 30 percent. So the city has no single kind of house. About 38 percent of occupied homes are rented, and renting here has its own local rules, including a city license and a yearly inspection.
Beyond the city limits the balance shifts. Across Anne Arundel County about 59 percent of homes are detached and about a quarter were built in 2000 or later, and about 75 percent of occupied homes are owner occupied. A plan for a townhouse near the water will not look like a plan for a large house farther out. The deep cleaning guide describes how a first visit handles each, and the move-out guide covers rentals.
NOAA normals count about 40 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter in Annapolis and about 81 nights at or below freezing. July brings an average high of 89.1 degrees and is also the wettest month at the nearest first-order station, BWI Airport, which logs about 45 inches of precipitation a year and about 19.3 inches of snow. The city emergency office lists floods, heat, hurricanes, tornadoes and winter storms among its local hazards.
Water is the most local issue. The city says high-tide nuisance flooding is most common from March to September, and it names downtown and City Dock as the lowest-lying land in the city. Pollen is the next one. University of Maryland Extension notes that the long Mid-Atlantic spring brings tree and grass pollen heavy enough to coat car windshields, and it identifies ragweed as the primary cause of hay fever. The seasonal calendar lays out the year, and the storm and flood guide covers what to do after high water.
TotalCare Cleaning will offer the same three services across the area. A Recurring House Clean comes weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, and bi-weekly starts at $160.00 for the smallest home. A One-Time Deep Clean, starting at $311.00, adds hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, ceiling fans and vents wiped in place, and shower glass treated for hard water spots. A One-Time Moving Clean, starting at $391.00, is for an empty home and adds inside the oven, refrigerator and cabinets.
TotalCare Cleaning will service the city and its neighbors. The Historic District sits on the lowest ground and carries its own preservation rules. Arnold, on the Broadneck side, is mostly detached homes from the 1970s and 1980s. Severna Park is about 92 percent detached, and Glen Burnie, at the north end of the B&A Trail, has many homes from 1950 through 1979.
Eastport is part of the plan too, along with Chartwell, Chartwell Forest, Chesapeake Harbour, Freetown, Green Haven, Lake Shore, Murray Hill, Quarterfield, Woodward Park, Cape St. Claire, Pasadena, Riviera Beach and Sunrise Beach. The U.S. Naval Academy, founded in 1845, occupies 338 acres in Annapolis and is part of what gives the city its character.
Prices are starting prices by bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage. A One-Time Deep Clean runs $311.00 to $690.00 across the five sizes on the rate card, and the Annapolis cost page shows every row, along with how a condo and a Severna Park house read differently on it.
