Two towns share one name here: the Almond Grove Victorians a few blocks off Santa Cruz Avenue, and the hillside houses climbing Shannon Road and Kennedy Road toward the ridge.

MaidSimple is a residential cleaning company serving Los Gatos, California. Downtown holds restored Victorians and Craftsman bungalows on narrow lots with one-car driveways; the hills hold three-level houses with long approaches and a lot of glass. Creekside properties get damp in winter. Cleaners are W-2 staff, background-checked, supplies included. A standard three-bedroom is quoted about $299.85 per clean. Coverage includes 95030, 95032 and 95033.
The Almond Grove blocks — Tait, Bachman, Glen Ridge — are late-1800s and early-1900s houses that have mostly been restored rather than replaced. That means original fir floors, tall single-pane sash windows, picture rails and staircases with turned balusters, on a footprint running deep rather than wide. Dust settles into the mouldings and the casings, and those take real minutes a modern house of the same size never asks for.
Above Blossom Hill Road the character flips. Belwood, Surmont and the properties off Shannon and Kennedy date from the 1970s onward, built into the slope, with decks, skylights and windows facing the valley. Winter is the differentiator: houses near the creek and in the shaded canyons hold moisture, and a bathroom without a working extractor grows mildew in the grout by February. We look for it and treat it instead of waiting to be asked.
The building stock straddles a century. Downtown and Almond Grove run 1890 to 1930, 1,200 to 2,200 square feet, wood floors throughout and often no off-street parking beyond a single space. The hillside subdivisions run 1968 to 1995, 2,400 to 4,000 square feet, split across two or three levels with a garage entered from an uphill drive. Rainfall against the Santa Cruz Mountains beats the valley floor, which shows up as damp entry mats and mildew in shaded rooms.

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.
The blocks between Main Street and University Avenue have narrow frontages, timed parking and heavy foot traffic on weekends. Weekday morning slots work far better there, and we will suggest one if your address sits in the historic district.
Properties along the creek and in the shaded folds off Kennedy hold humidity through the wet months. Grout, silicone seals and window reveals need an anti-mildew treatment on the regular rota from December to March, which a summer visit never requires.
Many hillside drives are steep, curved and end at a garage door with no room to turn. Say so when you book and the crew arrives in the vehicle that fits, parks facing out, and stages equipment once instead of walking the hill twice.

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, and the historic houses are some of our regular work. Original woodwork, unsealed floorboards and painted plaster all want a gentler product than a modern kitchen does, so the crew brings both. Single-pane sash windows also need care around the glazing putty, which cracks if it is soaked, so those are wiped rather than washed down.
We do, though those bookings are scheduled differently. Mountain properties sit further apart and the roads take longer, so we group them onto set days rather than fitting them between town visits. Ask for the next available mountain day when you book and you get a firm arrival window instead of a wide one.
Yes. Turnover cleaning is a separate service from a household visit: linens stripped and remade if you leave fresh sets out, kitchen reset, bathroom amenities restocked from your supplies, and a photo check at the end. Same-day turnarounds need booking in advance, because the window between checkout and check-in is narrow.
