One and a half square miles, ringed entirely by Oakland, and built mostly between 1910 and 1940: Piedmont is a city of large, formal houses on streets that curl around the hill.

Homeowners in Piedmont, California book MaidSimple for house cleaning and maid service. Cleaners here are employed by us, screened, and they bring everything the visit needs. The housing is old and big: Tudor, Mediterranean and Colonial Revival houses from the 1910s through the 1930s, typically three floors including a finished basement or attic, with oak, plaster and leaded glass throughout. A 4 bed / 3 bath house is quoted by the hour about $299.85 per clean. Addresses fall under 94610, 94611 and 94618.
You can walk across this city in half an hour, and it is built to a scale that surprises people who have never been inside one of its houses. The streets off Highland Avenue and Sea View Avenue wind uphill past homes of three and four thousand square feet, put up in the twenties and thirties and largely unaltered in their bones: oak floors, plaster walls, heavy paneled doors, leaded casements, and a back staircase down from the kitchen.
That has practical consequences. A house here holds more rooms than its bedroom count implies — a butler’s pantry, a sun room, a landing wide enough to furnish, a basement level in daily use. Driveways are short and steep and the roads are narrow. We size a crew to the building rather than the listing, and we always ask about the top floor, because a finished attic is frequently in use as bedrooms.
Expect two and a half to four thousand square feet across three levels, with a main staircase at the front, a service stair behind the kitchen, and a basement holding laundry and storage. Floors are oak, walls are plaster, and the original woodwork is usually stained rather than painted. Leaded and stained glass appears in stair and dining windows. Bathrooms are often original, with hexagonal floor tile and cast-iron tubs. Very little of this cleans quickly.
These come out of the same pricing engine as the form above. The quote is the price.

|---|---|---|---|

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.
The back stair from the kitchen is not a shortcut, it is a second set of treads, risers and handrail to clean. Both staircases get counted when we scope a house here, which is why the estimate runs above a same-bedroom home elsewhere in the county.
Leaded panels in stair and dining windows sit in soft came and are cleaned dry or with a barely damp cloth, never with ammonia. Pressing on one to reach a corner is how a panel starts to bow, so we work around them.
Most of the hill streets have no room for a vehicle to sit at the curb, and driveways are steep and sometimes shared. Tell us where you would like the crew to leave the van and the visit starts on time.

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.

Because room count and floor area diverge here. A four-bedroom house in this city usually includes a pantry, a sunroom, a wide landing, two staircases and a lived-in basement level, and the surfaces — plaster, stained wood, original tile — take hand work rather than a machine pass. We scope from the building and say so up front.
Yes, and here they are usually living space rather than storage. A basement level often holds laundry, a playroom and a bathroom, and the top floor may be bedrooms with their own bath. Count those rooms in the quote form so the estimate reflects the whole house instead of its two middle floors.
That is the most common arrangement here. Households leave a code, a lockbox or a key, and the crew works a set window on the same weekday. Because the houses are large, that window is usually a half day rather than an hour or two, so it helps to know whether a gardener or a contractor is booked the same morning.

A few taps, a real number, and a booking slot that actually exists. That is the whole process in Piedmont.
