Grow Your Butte Cleaning Business with MaidProfit
From Uptown to the Flats, Montana Tech to Walkerville — MaidProfit gives Butte cleaning companies the tools to serve southwest Montana’s resilient market.
Why Butte’s Underserved Market Is an Opportunity
Butte-Silver Bow is a consolidated city-county in southwest Montana with a proud mining heritage and a resilient community. With fewer than 50 cleaning businesses serving the area, Butte represents one of the most underserved markets in Montana for cleaning services.
The local economy is driven by Montana Tech (a top engineering school), healthcare (St. James Healthcare), mining operations, and growing tourism around the city’s historic Uptown district. Montana Tech’s students and faculty provide a year-round base of cleaning clients.
Butte’s strategic location between Missoula and Bozeman — and its proximity to Discovery Ski Area and Georgetown Lake — creates seasonal vacation rental opportunities. The city’s extremely low startup costs make it possible to launch a cleaning business with minimal capital.
Low Competition = First-Mover Advantage
With fewer than 50 cleaning businesses serving Silver Bow County, a professional operation backed by MaidProfit’s tools can quickly capture significant market share. Early movers in underserved markets build lasting competitive advantages.

What Butte Cleaners Charge
Butte cleaning rates are among the most affordable in Montana, but extremely low operating costs deliver workable margins.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $75 – $165 | $110 |
| Deep Cleaning | $145 – $300 | $210 |
| Move-Out Cleaning | $180 – $360 | $255 |
| Office Cleaning (per sq ft) | $0.06 – $0.12 | $0.08 |
| Recurring Weekly Service | $65 – $140 | $95 |
Butte’s Uptown and the west side neighborhoods command the highest residential rates. Montana Tech housing turnovers offer seasonal volume. Walkerville and the Flats provide moderate-rate clients.
