Altoona has grown from 14,541 residents in 2010 to about 22,598 today, an increase of more than 55% in fourteen years. It has done that while keeping an unusual mix for a metro suburb: a working entertainment and hospitality economy of its own, rather than only bedrooms for people who work somewhere else.
That shapes how we schedule here. Prairie Meadows runs around the clock, the Meta data center operates continuously, and Adventureland's season runs May through October. Plenty of Altoona households do not keep a nine-to-five, and a cleaning service that only offers mid-morning weekday slots is not much use to them.
Diamond House Cleaning is locally owned and fully insured, and every cleaner who enters your home is background-checked.
We work around your shift, not the other way round
Altoona has more round-the-clock and seasonal employment than most suburbs its size. We plan for that instead of pretending everyone is out of the house from nine to five.
A casino, a hotel, an events centre, a data centre, and a theme park do not run on office hours. Neither do the people who staff them. If you sleep during the day, the last thing you need is a vacuum starting up in the next room at eleven in the morning.
Tell us your hours when you book and we will find a slot that genuinely works, including days when the house is empty.
We will schedule while you are out rather than while you are asleep, and we will keep the same slot week to week so it stays predictable.
Busy from May to October and quieter after? Scale your cleaning up and down to match. Pause it entirely over the off-season if that suits you better.
About 13% of Altoona workers do, one of the higher rates in the metro. We will work around your calls rather than through them.
No contracts. Reschedule, skip a visit, or change your plan whenever your hours change.

The city grew in distinct waves, and the housing reflects it.
The newer north and east
Nearly half of Altoona homes were built in 2000 or later, and about 30% since 2010. Larger floor plans, more bathrooms, more square footage to cover. These are the homes where a recurring schedule earns its keep fastest.
Olde Town and the older core
Around 4% of the housing here predates 1950, with a substantial 1970s cohort on top of that. Older homes ask more of a cleaner: deeper trim, more corners, and places dust settles that a new build simply does not have.
Townhomes and apartments
About a quarter of Altoona housing is multifamily, and roughly 31% of households rent. We clean plenty of townhomes and apartments, including move-out cleans timed to a lease end.
Right across the city
From the streets near Spring Creek Park and Haines Park to Village Park, Oak Hill, and the Sam Wise Youth Sports Complex. Altoona keeps 55 parks and 30 miles of trail, and we clean the homes around all of them.
It does not matter which part of town you are in. If you are in Altoona, we cover you.
The services Altoona households book most
Recurring cleaning, weekly or every other week
About a third of Altoona households have children under 18, and between school runs, sports at the complexes, and shifts that do not line up neatly, the cleaning is what gets dropped. Recurring service is what stops a busy house from ever getting properly out of hand.
Deep cleaning
Best before the holidays, after a long summer with the doors open, or as a reset for a home that has not had a thorough clean in a while. In the older homes near the core this is usually where we recommend starting.
Move-in and move-out cleaning
With roughly a third of Altoona households renting, lease ends come round constantly. We clean to the standard a landlord inspection or a closing actually expects, whether you are leaving or arriving.
Cleaning for new builds
With 30% of the city's housing built since 2010, new construction is common here. Post-build cleaning is a different job from routine cleaning: drywall dust gets into vents, tracks, and fixtures and needs removing rather than wiping.
Why Altoona families hire us
- We are local. Our team works across the Des Moines metro, and Altoona is a core part of it. When you call 515-513-3187, you are not routed to a call center in another state.
- We are insured and background-checked. Every cleaner is vetted before they set foot in a client's house, which matters most in the homes we let ourselves into.
- You get the same crew. We keep the same cleaners on the same home wherever we can, so nobody has to be re-briefed on the dog, the good countertop, or which door actually locks.
- We fit the hours you actually keep. Nights, seasonal work, or working from home. Tell us and we will build the schedule around it.
- No contracts. Reschedule, skip a visit, or change your plan whenever you need to.
What it costs
We do not publish a single flat rate for Altoona because homes are not the same size, and Altoona has real variety: large new builds on one side of town, smaller older houses and townhomes on the other. What we do publish is our actual math: $50 per hour with a $125 minimum, estimated by the number of rooms and the type of clean.
First-time clients get 50% off the second cleaning when the first is booked. No promo code, no catch.
