Cleaning Services in Severance, CO

Severance has grown faster in percentage terms than anywhere else in this market. About 7,700 people lived here at the 2020 census; estimates put the town above 11,500 by 2023. Practically speaking that means the housing stock is almost entirely post-2015, across 3,426 units, at household incomes well above the county median and a median age of 32.4. It is 14.6 miles from downtown Greeley, about half an hour, which makes it closer by road than Windsor.

A town made almost entirely of new houses is a specific cleaning problem rather than an easy one. Recent construction means open plans and long sightlines, more bathrooms than an older house of the same size, tall entry and stairwell glass, and finishes that show every water spot and every fingerprint. On the High Plains that combines badly with two local conditions: dust that arrives constantly off dry, open country, and hard water that leaves spotting on shower glass, faucets and fixtures. Both are on our 42-point checklist as line items rather than as upgrades, because in houses like these they are the difference between a clean that looks right for two weeks and one that looks tired in three days.

The town is named for David Severance, a pioneer settler whose post office was very nearly called Tailholt instead. Its early-1900s campaign to get local farmers growing sugar beets is what produced the sugar factory in neighboring Windsor in 1903, which became a Great Western Sugar Company plant two years later -- which is to say Severance is a large part of the reason Windsor exists in the shape it does. Bruce's Bar has made the town locally famous for Rocky Mountain oysters, and the Great Western Bike and Pedestrian Trail runs through the middle of town on the old Great Western Railway grade, heading toward Windsor.

There are zero seasonal-use housing units here out of 3,426. Nothing about this town is a rental turnover market. What people book is recurring house cleaning on a weekly, biweekly or monthly schedule, deep cleans, and move-in and move-out work.
