How we clean Redwood City
Redwood City is the least uniform place on this stretch of the Peninsula, and the job changes block to block. In Woodside Plaza and around Roosevelt you get flat lots and 1,200-square-foot ranch houses with an attached garage and a kitchen that was opened up in the 2000s. Head northeast across 101 and Redwood Shores is a different world entirely: planned in the 1970s and 1980s on bay fill, all lagoon frontage, garages tucked under the living space and HOA landscaping to the front door.
Downtown changed fastest. The blocks around Courthouse Square filled with mid-rise rental buildings, and those units clean quickly but need loading access and a service elevator booking. Then there is the western edge, where Farm Hill Boulevard runs up into oak and the parcels widen out toward Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve. Same city, four different visits.
What we walk into in Redwood City
The median here is a 1,300 to 1,700 square foot single-story house built between 1948 and 1962, slab on grade, no basement, with tile in the wet rooms and laminate or refinished oak elsewhere. Redwood Shores runs smaller and newer, mostly 900 to 1,800 square feet across two levels with carpeted stairs and an attached garage. Downtown apartments are 600 to 1,200 square feet with hard flooring throughout and shared corridors that limit equipment size.
