The most common thing we hear from Marshalltown homeowners is that they could not find anyone willing to come. Local options are limited, and plenty of Des Moines cleaning companies quietly draw their service line somewhere around Altoona.
We do not. Our teams are on Highway 30 heading east every week. Marshalltown is a scheduled part of our route, not a favor we do occasionally, and you pay the same hourly rate here as anyone in the metro. There is no distance surcharge.
Diamond House Cleaning is locally owned and fully insured, and every cleaner who enters your home is background-checked.
Older houses need a different kind of clean
Marshalltown's housing is genuinely old. The median home here was built in 1958, and roughly three in ten predate 1940. That is a different job from cleaning a new build, and it is worth knowing that before someone starts work in your house.
Older homes hold dust differently. Deep window casings, picture rails, radiators, transoms, and original woodwork all have profiles that a flat modern baseboard does not. Plaster walls mark more easily than drywall. Original hardwood and old finishes do not want the same products a laminate floor will happily take.
None of that is a problem. It just needs someone who has seen it before and slows down in the right places.
We check what we are dealing with before we start: original woodwork, plaster, old tile, or vintage fixtures. Tell us about anything delicate and we will treat it accordingly.
A house with deep trim and more corners takes more time than a 2015 build of the same square footage. We would rather quote that properly than rush it and miss half of it.
Renovation and repair work leaves fine dust in every vent, track, and fixture in the house. We clean up after the trades, whether it was one room or the whole roof.
Not sure what your house needs? Tell us its age and roughly what shape it is in, and we will be straight with you about the time it takes.

Downtown and the historic district
The Marshalltown Downtown Historic District holds 79 contributing buildings from the 1860s to the 1940s, with the 1886 Marshall County Courthouse at its center. The homes on the streets around it are some of the oldest we clean anywhere.
Near the river and the trail
The city sits between the Iowa River and Linn Creek. We clean homes out toward Riverview Park and along the Linn Creek Recreational Trail.
The school neighborhoods
The streets around Woodbury, Fisher, Franklin, Rogers, Hoglan, Lenihan, and Anson. Family homes, mostly mid-century, mostly on recurring schedules.
Out past the city limits
We serve acreages and smaller communities across Marshall County too. If you are not sure whether you are in range, call and ask. The answer is usually yes.
It does not matter which part of town you are in. If you are in Marshalltown, we cover you.
The services Marshalltown households book most
Recurring cleaning, weekly or every other week
The steady core of our Marshalltown work, and the reason we are out here every week in the first place. A regular slot on the route is what makes the drive work for us and keeps the price the same as anywhere else.
Deep cleaning for older homes
Usually where we recommend starting in a house with some history behind it. We work through the trim, casings, radiators, window tracks, and inside the appliances, and get the place back to a baseline that is realistic to maintain.
Post-renovation and repair cleanup
After the trades finish. Construction dust travels well beyond the room being worked on, and it needs removing from vents and tracks rather than wiping off the surfaces.
Move-in and move-out cleaning
Cleaned to the standard a landlord inspection or a closing actually expects. Worth booking early at the end of a month, when everyone is moving at once.
Why Marshalltown households hire us
Marshalltown is a working town. Manufacturing is about a quarter of local employment, and plenty of those jobs run on shifts rather than office hours.
- We turn up. The single most common complaint we hear about cleaning services out here is that they cancel, or stop coming. A scheduled slot with us is a scheduled slot.
- Same price as the metro. No distance surcharge, no minimum bigger than anyone else's. $50 an hour with a $125 minimum, same as Des Moines.
- We work around shifts. If you sleep days or work an odd rotation, tell us and we will find a slot that fits rather than one that suits us.
- We are insured and background-checked. Every cleaner is vetted before they set foot in a client's house.
- No contracts. Reschedule, skip a visit, or change your plan whenever you need to.
What it costs
The same as everywhere else we clean: $50 per hour with a $125 minimum, estimated by the number of rooms and the type of clean. We do not charge extra for the drive.
One thing worth being honest about: an older home with deep trim and detailed woodwork usually takes longer than a newer house of the same size. We will tell you that up front rather than after the fact.
First-time clients get 50% off the second cleaning when the first is booked. No promo code, no catch.
