Corpus Christi area · Texas
Alice is a rail and oil town where most people live in a detached three bedroom house. Here is what those homes need from a cleaner, including those in North Alice.
Ingleside's homes are newer than Corpus Christi's, in part thanks to its history as a plant town on the bay. Here is what that means for keeping one clean, including Ingleside on the Bay.
Kingsville is a university and Navy town next to the King Ranch, and most of its homes are rented. Older houses and frequent lease changes shape what cleaning looks like here.
Living on a barrier island means sand in every track and on every floor. Here is what a cleaning plan looks like for a Padre Island home, canal house or vacation property.
Portland sits on a bluff over Nueces Bay and grew as a bedroom community for Corpus Christi. Its homes run larger and newer than the city's, and that shapes the cleaning.

Corpus Christi sits at the mouth of the Nueces River on the west end of Corpus Christi Bay, and it is the largest city on the South Texas coast. That location explains most of what a house here goes through: warm moist air, strong wind, storms in season and a water supply piped from far away.
TotalCare Cleaning will service Corpus Christi and the towns around the bay. Below you will find what local homes tend to need, how the weather plays into it, which service fits what, and the towns that will be covered. Public sources for the local statements appear at the bottom of this page.
The median home in Corpus Christi was built in 1982. About 33 percent of units predate 1970, and about 26 percent were built in 2000 or later, so a street of older ranch houses and a newer subdivision can ask for quite different things.
Three bedroom homes are the most common size at about 42 percent of units, and about 16 percent have four or more bedrooms. About 64 percent of the city's 136,000 units are single family detached, which means most jobs involve a garage, a yard and the sand and grit that travel in from them. Another 13 percent of units sit in buildings of 10 or more apartments.
Renters occupy about 42 percent of homes. Older rentals and pre-1978 paint call for gentle wiping rather than scraping or sanding, a rule that applies to any house from that era.
NOAA hourly normals put the average dew point above 74 degrees in June, July and August, and near 70 in May and September. Grout, shower walls and closet corners dry slowly in air like that, so a steady routine works far better than an occasional scrub. Even January's dew point stays near 48, and only about 4 nights a year reach freezing.
About 123 days a year reach 90 degrees or hotter. Wind is the other constant, with average hourly speeds of about 12 to 14 miles per hour from January through May, peaking near 13.9 in April. Fine dust and grit get into window tracks and across sills whenever the windows are not shut tight.
Annual precipitation is modest at 31.74 inches, but it arrives unevenly. September is the wettest month at 5.42 inches, right in the middle of a hurricane season that runs from June 1 to November 30. The storm season guide goes through what to prepare.
A Recurring House Clean runs weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, with bi-weekly starting at $138.00 for the smallest row. In this climate, steady visits keep damp bathrooms and mineral spots from getting a foothold.
A One-Time Deep Clean runs $279.00 to $614.00 across five home sizes and adds hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, ceiling fans and vents wiped in place, degreased cabinet fronts, shower glass treated for hard water spots, detailed faucets and soaked stovetop grates. Given what is in the local tap water, the shower glass and faucet work tends to show here first. See the deep cleaning guide and the hard water guide.
A One-Time Moving Clean adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets, and starts at $350.00. Read the move-out guide for how Texas handles deposits. All are starting prices, priced by the home, not by the hour; the cost page lays them out.
In the city, coverage will include the Southside, Bay Ridge, Memorial Parkway, the East Side, Flour Bluff, where Naval Air Station Corpus Christi has its main station, and the area around Texas A&M University Corpus Christi on Ward Island. Padre Island, a sand barrier island just east of the city, has its own page.
Across the bay, Portland sits on a bluff above Nueces Bay, and Ingleside has much newer housing than the city. Further out, Kingsville lies 40 miles southwest and Alice 44 miles west. Aransas Pass, Holiday Beach, Las Quintas, Santa Gertrudis and Sunset Lake are also listed in the area.
