Driveways that climb
A good share of Belmont driveways run at a grade steep enough that a loaded caddy is awkward on the way down and worse on the way up. Crews carry in on one trip and set up inside rather than shuttling back to the curb.
Half of Belmont sits on a hill, and the cleaning follows the terrain: split-level floor plans, driveways that climb, and interior stair runs from Carlmont down to the flats near Sterling Downs.

MaidSimple is a residential cleaning company serving Belmont, California. Cleaners here are hired onto payroll as W-2 staff, screened through a criminal background check before their first shift. Most of the work is 1950s and 1960s split-levels on graded hillside lots, so stairs and multiple landings are normal. A three-bedroom, two-bath house is about at99.85 per clean, quoted by the hour. The city sits entirely inside 94002.
Belmont was built in layers up the side of a ridge, which is why no two visits here take the same shape. Down near Sterling Downs the lots are flat and the houses are modest post-war boxes. Climb Ralston Avenue toward Hallmark and the Belmont Country Club streets and the same city turns into wide hillside parcels with three floors of living space, decks cantilevered over a canyon, and a driveway steep enough that crews park at the top and walk down.
The stairs are the whole story. A Belmont split-level typically has a half-flight from the entry, another to the bedrooms, and often a third down to a converted lower room. That is a lot of vertical carrying, so our crews stage supplies once and work floor by floor rather than running the vacuum up and down. Oak and bay trees along the Water Dog Lake ridgeline drop leaf litter that comes indoors on shoes most of the winter.
Most of Belmont went up between 1950 and 1970, and the dominant form is the split-level or daylight basement built into a slope. Square footage runs 1,300 to 2,200, with hardwood or engineered plank on the main level and carpet upstairs. Bathrooms are often original tile with grout that has been sealed more than once. Newer construction is concentrated in the townhome clusters off Old County Road, where units are narrow, tall and stacked over a garage.

You pay for the time it takes: the hours we plan at $99.95 an hour for every recurring clean, or $117.59 an hour just once. Supplies and equipment included. Anything extra you tick — inside the oven, the fridge, baseboards in full — adds its time at the same rate, and a deeper clean or a move-out is simply more hours. Slide the hours before you book if you know your home better than we do.
Knowing these before the van arrives is most of what makes a visit go well.

Two thousand square feet spread over four half-levels is not the same job as two thousand on one floor. Landings, stair treads and short hallways add time, so we quote from the room count and the layout together.
Peninsula water leaves a mineral haze on shower enclosures that ordinary spray will not shift. Frameless glass in remodeled Belmont baths gets an acid-free descaler and a squeegee finish every visit so the etching never gets a start.

How it works →Baseboards, inside appliances, grout and vents — the same clean with more hours, at the same rate.
How it works →Empty-home cleaning for deposits and handovers — more hours, the same rate.
How it works →Weekly, every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks, at the advertised rate every clean.
How it works →Most cleaning companies send whoever is available that day. Our cleaners are our own background-checked, W-2 employees — which costs us more in payroll tax and workers’ comp, and is exactly why the standard holds: we employ them and dispatch them ourselves.
Every maid is on our payroll and background-checked before she sets foot in your home. If anything’s not right, tell us and we come back and put it right — you don’t pay twice.
The general FAQ covers access, supplies, rescheduling and paying.
Yes. Streets in the Cipriani and Hallmark areas often have a single narrow shoulder, and plenty of driveways are too steep to leave a vehicle on. Tell us at booking where you would like the crew to stop and we plan the visit around it. If the walk in is long, we bring what we need in one load.
Yes, and they should be counted when you book. A daylight basement in Belmont is usually a full room with its own bath or laundry, and it cleans like part of the house rather than a garage. Include it in the bedroom and bathroom count so the quote and the time on site both reflect it.
Every other week is the most common pattern here, usually on a weekday while the house is empty. Families near Carlmont with school-age kids tend to pick Friday so the weekend starts clean. Weekly suits larger hillside homes with hardwood on three levels, and monthly works for smaller flat-lot houses near Sterling Downs.
