Barely more than a square mile, and almost none of it is a house: Emeryville is converted warehouse lofts, mid-rise condos and a handful of towers, so access is the first question rather than the last.

Homeowners in Emeryville, California book MaidSimple for house cleaning and maid service. Our cleaners are employees, background-checked, and they arrive with their own machines and products. Nearly every home here is attached: loft conversions in the old industrial blocks around Park Avenue and Doyle Street, mid-rise condominiums, and the towers by the marina and Watergate. A 2 bed / 2 bath unit is about at99.85 per clean, priced by the hour. The city sits inside one ZIP, 94608.
This is the one place in the East Bay where a full week of work can pass without setting foot in a detached house. The old factory and warehouse blocks were converted into live-work lofts, the land around them filled with mid-rise condominiums, and the waterfront took the towers. What survives of the original Victorian cottages sits in a few short rows near Park Avenue and Doyle Street, and there are not many of them left.
That shapes how a visit runs. A loft is one big volume with a mezzanine, so the floor area is modest but the vertical surface is not: fixtures, exposed ductwork and the tops of factory windows sit well above arm’s reach. Towers add process on top of that — a freight elevator with booked hours, a loading bay, a front desk, and almost always paperwork the association wants first.
The typical home is 700 to 1,400 square feet of attached housing with polished or sealed concrete underfoot, one or two bathrooms and a compact kitchen along one wall. Loft conversions add ceiling heights of twelve to eighteen feet, steel-sash windows and a stair up to a sleeping mezzanine with an open rail. High-rise units swap that for floor-to-ceiling glass and a balcony. There is virtually no carpet, no yard and no basement anywhere in the city.
These come out of the same pricing engine as the form above. The quote is the price.
| How is it looking? | Time we plan | Per clean, recurring | Just this once |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kept upCleaned recently | 2 hrs | $199.90every week, 2 weeks or 4 weeks | $235.18 |
| Lived-inNormal life happens | 3 hrs | $299.85every week, 2 weeks or 4 weeks | $352.77 |
| It’s a messNo judgement, truly | 4 hrs | $399.80every week, 2 weeks or 4 weeks | $470.36 |
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.
Local detail is the difference between a crew that shows up and a crew that knows what it is walking into.
In a converted loft the pendant fixtures, duct runs and upper window panes sit twelve to eighteen feet up. Those get extension poles and a planned ladder pass rather than being quietly skipped, and we agree what is reachable before the first visit.
Tower and mid-rise buildings route working crews through a service elevator during a reserved window, often weekday daytime only. We confirm that window with your building before offering you a slot, so the booking is one you can actually keep.
Sealed and polished concrete looks indestructible and is not. Acidic and high-alkaline products dull the sealer permanently, so it is a pH-neutral cleaner and a flat microfiber head, and no water left standing at the edges.

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. We carry general liability and workers’ compensation cover and can issue a certificate naming your association or management company. Most buildings here want it before a crew is added to the approved list, and it normally takes one business day. Give us the manager’s email at booking and we deal with them directly.
From the top down, in one pass. Dust off a mezzanine rail falls onto whatever is below it, so the sleeping level, the rail and any high ledges come first. Open-plan units also share air between kitchen and living space, which means cooking grease travels further than in a walled kitchen and the surfaces near the range get more time.
A few — small Victorian and early-1900s cottages on the older streets, plus some newer townhomes with a garage below. They are quoted as houses rather than units, because there is exterior-adjacent work and more than one floor. If you are in one, use the bedroom and bathroom count and the price reflects the building.
