Dimple's 1 Stop Cleaning Service is a locally owned residential cleaning company that handles recurring weekly, biweekly, and monthly cleanings for Chattanooga homes, operating on flat-rate pricing rather than hourly labor charges. The business serves the greater Chattanooga area and positions itself as an alternative to both large franchises and independent contractors who quote per-job or by the hour.
This is a recurring cleaning service, not a deep-clean or move-out specialist. The company sends a team (typically two to three people per visit) to perform standard housekeeping: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathroom cleaning, and kitchen surfaces. The model assumes customers want the same crew on a regular schedule, which reduces setup time and builds familiarity with the home layout. Dimple's operates in East Brainerd, North Shore, Hixson, and surrounding residential neighborhoods within a reasonable drive from their base.
Dimple's charges a flat monthly rate based on home size and cleaning frequency, not by the hour. A typical two-bedroom home on a biweekly schedule costs between $200 and $280 per month, while a three-bedroom or four-bedroom home runs $280 to $400 per month for the same frequency. Weekly service costs roughly 20 percent more per month than biweekly; monthly cleanings are priced lower per visit but are less common among customers who use this service. The company does not charge extra for standard tasks, but custom add-ons (pressure washing, window cleaning, carpet shampooing) are quoted separately.

Chattanooga has three main cleaning models: national franchises (The Cleaning Authority, Molly Maid), independent contractors who bid per job, and local recurring-service companies like Dimple's. Franchises typically charge $25 to $35 per hour per person but require two to three people per job, raising total costs to $150 to $250 per visit. They offer strong insurance and bonding but less schedule flexibility and no dedicated crew continuity. Independent contractors often undercut both at $15 to $20 per hour but create scheduling unpredictability and variable quality. Dimple's middle ground is the flat monthly rate without hourly meter anxiety; you know the cost upfront and get the same team. This works if your home size and layout fit their standard packages. It works less well if you want specialized services bundled in or if your home is unusually large or cluttered, where hourly-rate contractors allow the work to stretch as needed.
Dimple's suits homeowners in Chattanooga who want predictable, recurring service without negotiating rates every quarter. Families with two working parents, busy professionals, and households with mobility constraints benefit from the consistency. The flat-rate model also appeals to people burned out on contractor flakiness; the same crew on the same day removes friction.
This service is not ideal for one-time deep cleans before a move or after renovation, for homes with high clutter that will require sorting before the crew arrives, or for customers who demand highly specialized services (post-construction cleanup, hoarder remediation, commercial spaces). The flat rate also assumes your home falls within their size range; very large homes (5+ bedrooms, 3+ baths) may be quoted at their ceiling or referred elsewhere.
A scheduling representative will typically ask basic questions over the phone: how many bedrooms and bathrooms, preferred cleaning frequency, and preferred day of the week. You'll receive a quote based on those details. On the first appointment, the crew will likely spend slightly longer than subsequent visits, learning your preferences (which sprays to avoid, where items are stored, whether you prefer certain areas touched differently). Many customers provide a key or lock box; if you prefer not to, you'll need to be home or arrange access. The crew generally works unsupervised on repeat visits.
Dimple's operates Monday through Saturday, with most appointments scheduled between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. They do not typically offer same-day or emergency cleaning. New customers should expect a one to two week wait for the first appointment, especially if requesting a high-demand day (Friday or Saturday).
Contact Dimple's by phone or through their local online presence to confirm current hours and availability. Parking is not an issue, as the crew arrives at your residential address.
Dimple's fits Chattanooga's market by solving a specific problem: homeowners who want recurring cleaning without the complexity of hourly quotes or the impersonality of a franchise rotation. The flat-rate model and crew consistency justify the local reputation the company has built across East Brainerd and North Shore.
