Most San Pablo houses were built quickly after the war and have been worked hard since — three bedrooms, one bath, a flat lot barely wider than the house, and household sizes well above the county average.

MaidSimple works throughout San Pablo, California, cleaning houses, condos and townhomes. Our cleaners are on payroll as W-2 employees. Background screening happens before a first shift, and the crew brings its own products. Housing runs compact — single-story homes of about 1,000 square feet on 4,000-square-foot lots, most from the 1940s and 1950s, many with a converted garage. A 3 bed / 1 bath visit is about at99.85 per clean. The city sits inside 94806.
A house here usually holds more people than its bedroom count suggests, and that changes what a cleaning visit is for. Kitchens get used properly, three times a day, so range hoods, splashbacks and the floor around the stove carry real cooking residue rather than a light film. Bathrooms serve four or five people off one drain. Our crews spend proportionally more time in those two rooms in San Pablo than almost anywhere else, and less time on square footage that nobody uses.
The city is small and flat, laid out in short blocks between Rumrill and Church Lane and around Old Town, and the houses are close together on lots that leave a car-width of driveway. That helps: access is straightforward, parking is usually right outside, and the crew can be in and working within a couple of minutes of arriving. Contra Costa College and Davis Park anchor the middle of it, and most of the residential streets radiate from there.
Single-story detached houses dominate, most built between 1945 and 1960, typically 900 to 1,200 square feet with three small bedrooms and one bathroom. Lots are modest and level, foundations are slab or shallow crawl, and there are no basements. Original hardwood is often under carpet or replaced with sheet vinyl and later laminate. Garage conversions are common enough that a listed three-bedroom regularly cleans like a four. Apartment buildings sit mainly along the main avenues and run two and three stories without elevators.

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.
The small things that decide whether a visit runs smoothly or runs late.
Cooking happens here every day, not on weekends, and the grease reaches further than people expect: cabinet fronts above the range, the underside of the hood, the wall behind the kettle. Degreasing those on a set rotation is more effective than a heroic scrub twice a year.
If the garage is now a bedroom or a studio, it belongs in the room count when you book. It is usually the same size as two bedrooms and often has its own bathroom, and leaving it off the form is the commonest reason a visit runs long.
Contra Costa water leaves scale, and a single shower used by a whole household shows it fast on the door glass and the fixtures. An acid-safe descaler each visit keeps the glass clear; leaving it a few months turns it into a job that needs its own appointment.

The whole-home refresh most San Pablo 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.
Yes, for tenants and for owners. A recurring clean for a tenanted house works the same as any other booking. For a change of tenancy, ask for a move-out clean instead — it covers inside cabinets, oven and fridge interiors, and baseboards, which is what a walk-through inspection actually looks at.
How you split payment is up to the household — we bill one card on file for the address. What matters for the price is the room count, so a shared house with four bedrooms and two bathrooms is quoted on that, regardless of how many people live there or who is paying.
Weekend slots exist and they go quickly in this part of the county, because a lot of households here work shifts that make weekday mornings impossible. Booking two or three weeks out gets you a consistent Saturday time. If your schedule is irregular, a rolling monthly booking is easier to hold than a weekly one.
