Most Los Altos streets have no sidewalk. Homes sit back behind lawns and mature trees on quarter-acre lots that were apricot orchards inside living memory, and the walk from the curb is a long one.

Residential cleaning in Los Altos, California is handled by MaidSimple crews. Homes here are large, low and spread out: single-level ranch houses of 2,000 to 3,000 square feet on lots of a quarter acre and up, with a growing number of two-story rebuilds. Square footage drives the time more than bedroom count does. Cleaners are employees, vetted and , with supplies in the van. A four-bedroom visit opens about $299.85 per clean. ZIP coverage is 94022 and 94024.
North Los Altos, the Country Club streets and Woodland Acres share a shape: a wide single-story house set well back, a circular or long straight driveway, and a garden doing most of the work of the frontage. Because there are no sidewalks, gravel and dry grass reach the door on shoes, and the entry mat is carrying more than it looks. We treat entries, mudrooms and the laundry passage as one set of surfaces.
Inside, the rooms are big and the hallways are long, which sounds easy and is not. A 2,600-square-foot single-level has more floor per bedroom than a two-story of the same count, and kitchens here have usually been remodeled into something with an island, a range hood and a lot of stone. Loyola Corners and the streets off Fremont Avenue read the same way. We quote on the footprint, not the label.
The typical property is a 1955-to-1975 ranch extended at least once, 2,000 to 3,200 square feet, sitting on 10,000 square feet or more of land. Hardwood or engineered plank through the living areas, stone or tile in kitchens and bathrooms, carpet increasingly rare. Many carry a detached studio, pool house or converted garage. Newer builds go two stories with a formal stair and a double-height entry, and those entry windows are the thing owners cannot reach themselves.

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.
None of this is on a checklist. It is what you learn by working somewhere regularly.
A single-level house spreads the same four bedrooms across twice the floor area of a two-story. We ask for approximate square footage alongside the room count so the estimate reflects the actual walking and vacuuming distance involved.
Streets without curbs make roadside parking awkward and unpopular with neighbors. If the crew can pull onto the driveway or the apron it saves ten minutes of carrying at each end, so let us know whether that is fine with you.
Oak and olive pollen coats horizontal surfaces from March into May, and homes with big garden-facing windows show it first. Through spring we add sills, ledges and plantation shutter slats to the standard list without changing the price.

The whole-home refresh most Los Altos homes book: kitchens, bathrooms, floors, dusting and tidying.
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, as long as they are included when you book. They count as extra rooms and bathrooms, which is a smaller add than a separate booking. What we do not do as part of a house clean is the pool deck, outdoor furniture or the garage floor, since those are exterior work and priced differently.
A 2,800-square-foot ranch usually needs three to four hours on a first visit, and less once it is on a schedule. Single-level houses take longer than the room count suggests because of the distance between rooms and the amount of glass most of them have facing the garden.
Our own employees — on our payroll, background-checked, most of them with us for years. Your home’s notes, which floors are sealed and where the linen closet is, travel with every visit so whoever comes finishes faster.
