Half of Martinez was laid out before cars, so the old blocks above Main Street run steep and narrow with nowhere to park, and they are full of Victorians worth cleaning properly.

Homeowners in Martinez, California book MaidSimple for house cleaning and maid service. Cleaners are hired as employees, vetted before a first shift and . The county seat holds two housing types that could not be less alike: 1890s to 1920s houses on the hill above downtown, with high ceilings, original fir floors and exterior stairs, and post-1970 tract homes out toward Hidden Lakes and Alhambra Valley. A standard three-bedroom visit is about at99.85 per clean. The delivery ZIP is 94553.
Cleaning an old house here is partly a logistics problem. There is often no driveway, the parking sits on a grade, and the front door is at the top of a dozen exterior steps. Crews carry a smaller kit up in one trip rather than running back to the curb. Once inside, the payoff is real: picture rail, deep baseboards, transom windows and floors laid long before plywood.
Away from the old grid the city looks like the rest of the county, all 1970s and 1980s tracts with attached garages and level entries. What links the two ends is the water. The strait and the refinery sit at the bottom of the hill, and homes facing that way pick up a gritty film on north-facing sills and window glass that ordinary dusting smears rather than lifts. Those get a damp pass and then a dry one.
Two stocks, one city. Downtown and the streets climbing away from it hold 1,000 to 1,800 square foot homes built between 1890 and 1930: narrow stairwells, painted woodwork, original single-pane sash, and floors sanded more than once. Newer Martinez, north and south of the old core, is the familiar three or four bedroom tract house on a flat lot with a slab and an attached garage. The older properties take longer per square foot and we quote them that way.
Straight from the quote engine. There is no walkthrough that revises these upward.

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.
Streets like the ones climbing off Main were platted for horses. Crews park where they legally can, sometimes a block down, and haul up in one load. It is worth telling us at booking if your only spot is a shared apron behind the house.
Century-old softwood dents and lifts if you flood it. We damp-mop sparingly, keep water off the joints, and dust window sash and muntins by hand rather than spraying glass cleaner where it can wick into old putty and paint.
Houses looking out at the strait collect a dull residue on exterior glass and the outward-facing sills. Wiping it dry just moves it around, so those surfaces get a wet cloth first and a clean dry one behind it, every visit rather than occasionally.

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.

Those old houses are some of our favorite work in the county, and they need a different hand than a tract home. Original woodwork, plaster walls and softwood floors all go badly with harsh chemicals and standing water, so the crew uses mild products and works dry where it can. Flag anything fragile at the first walkthrough.
Not usually, but say so when you book. On the steep blocks near the courthouse the crew will find legal parking further down and carry the kit in, which adds a few minutes at either end and nothing to the price. What does help is knowing in advance whether the entrance is the street door or a stair around the side.
Yes, and the valley properties are typically larger and further apart than anything in town, with more hard flooring and often a mudroom that does real work. They price on the time it takes like everywhere else. Rural addresses can be awkward for map applications, so a gate detail or landmark in the booking notes saves a call.
