San Jose is really a dozen cities under one name, and a crew that cleans a slab-floor ranch off Story Road in the morning may finish the day in a downtown high-rise.

MaidSimple provides house cleaning and maid service in San Jose, California. Cleaners here are W-2 employees rather than contractors: background-checked, and equipped with their own vacuums and products. The city’s modal house is a single-story ranch of roughly 1,400 square feet on a concrete slab, and a visit at that size opens about $299.85 per clean, priced by the hour before the first appointment. Coverage spans every residential ZIP, 95110 and 95112 through 95148, plus 95002 in the north.
Nobody cleans San Jose the same way twice. A 1955 three-bedroom in the flatlands off Alum Rock Avenue has hollow-core doors, a slab under the carpet, and a kitchen someone updated in 2008. Climb into the East Foothills and the same budget buys a staircase, a landing, and hard flooring on both levels. Downtown, the work turns into glass, balcony sliders, and a service elevator you have to book. Our people plan the visit around which of those they are walking into.
The constant is water. San Jose’s supply is hard enough that shower glass fogs over within weeks and chrome fixtures spot as they dry, so descaling is standard rather than an upsell. The second constant is dust: the valley floor is dry from June through October, and a house near the Guadalupe River Trail or up above Communications Hill collects a fine grit on sills and blinds that a quick pass will not lift.
Roughly two-thirds of San Jose’s houses went up between 1950 and 1980, which means slab foundations, no basements, single-pane windows in the ones nobody has touched, and carpet running from the hall to the back bedroom. The newer stock is different in kind: two-story subdivisions from the 1990s with vaulted entries and a lot of stair spindles, and podium condo buildings downtown where the whole unit is hard flooring and the balcony door leaks dust. Summers run hot and dry, so ceiling fans and air returns need real work.
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.
None of this is on a checklist. It is what you learn by working somewhere regularly.
Downtown and the older streets near Naglee Park have permit zones and narrow frontages, while the postwar tracts give you a driveway. Tell us which you have when you book, and the crew arrives with the right expectation instead of circling.
A large share of San Jose homes have gained a back unit or a garage conversion in the past decade. Those count as separate rooms for pricing, so include them in the booking rather than mentioning them at the door.
Sprinklers hitting west-facing windows plus hard tap water leaves a white haze that ordinary glass cleaner smears around. We treat it with an acidic descaler on the first visit and then keep ahead of it on the regular rota.

The whole-home refresh most San Jose 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.
All of it. The service map runs from Alviso and the northern ZIPs down through the central flatlands to Coyote Valley, and east across Alum Rock into the foothills. Pricing does not change by district — a four-bedroom costs the same in Edenvale as it does off The Alameda, because the quote is built from the time it takes and condition, not from a postcode.
Yes, and the towers along South Market and North San Pedro are regular stops. Buildings that require a vendor certificate of get one before the first booking, and we work with whatever the loading-dock and elevator rules are. Condo visits usually run shorter than a detached house of the same room count because there is no garage or patio work.
More time than a maintenance visit, and it is worth booking it as a deep clean. On a 1960s tract house that usually means baseboards, inside the oven, hard-water scale in both bathrooms, and the tops of kitchen cabinets, which in this era of house are open and collect grease. After that, an every-other-week rota holds it without the extra hours.
San Jose sits inside our Silicon Valley coverage.
A few taps, a real number, and a booking slot that actually exists. That is the whole process in San Jose.
