Homeowners in San Rafael, California book MaidSimple for house cleaning and maid service. Everyone assigned is on our payroll as a W-2 employee, screened through a criminal background check. The city spans Eichler tracts in Terra Linda, Victorians around Gerstle Park, apartment blocks along the Canal and larger homes near Dominican, so no two quotes look alike. Honest pricing on a 3 bed / 2 bath is about at99.85 per clean. We work 94901 and 94903.
Terra Linda is the reason this page reads differently from the rest of the county. Several hundred Eichlers went up there in the fifties, and they are still doing what they were designed to do: floor-to-ceiling glass on two sides, an open atrium in the middle, and radiant heating tubes buried in a concrete slab under the floor. No basement, no attic, nothing to hide dust in. Everything shows, which is why owners there tend to book on a fixed schedule and expect glass to be part of it.
Then the city changes character every mile. Dominican has broad older houses under redwoods with staircases and hardwood on three levels. Gerstle Park keeps its Victorians and their radiators. Along the Canal the stock is apartment buildings with shared laundry and small kitchens. A crew that treats all of that as one job gets it wrong somewhere, so we quote from what your home actually is rather than from a district average.
There is no single building type. The mid-century tracts north of the Civic Center run 1,200 to 1,800 square feet on slab, with terrazzo or vinyl over concrete, mahogany paneling and a great deal of exposed glass. Older neighborhoods south of downtown add basements, plaster walls, steep interior stairs and clawfoot tubs. Canal-area units are compact, carpeted and stacked. Hillside houses near Peacock Gap and Loch Lomond catch bay wind and the salt that comes with it.

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.
Eichler floors sit directly on a heated concrete slab, so standing water and aggressive steam are out. Crews damp-mop with a neutral cleaner and dry as they go, which protects both the finish and whatever is running underneath it.
The open courtyard at the center of a mid-century home collects leaves, spider webs and pollen year round, and the glass around it shows every mark. That perimeter is treated as its own room in the visit rather than as an afterthought.
The older homes under the redwoods often stack a basement, a main floor and bedrooms above. Hauling equipment up and down eats time, so those visits are staffed with an extra pair of hands rather than being stretched over a longer day.

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, and they are among the more common bookings on that side of the city. The things that matter are the slab floors, the glass, and the fact that an open plan leaves nowhere for clutter to be tucked. Crews are briefed on neutral-pH products for the flooring and on cleaning both faces of the atrium glass where access allows.
Yes. Apartment and condominium visits are priced from bedroom and bathroom count, which usually puts them at the lower end of the range. If your building requires a vendor certificate of or a lobby sign-in, name the building when booking and the paperwork goes to management ahead of the first clean.
Yes, everything inside 94903 is covered, including the neighborhoods behind the Civic Center and out toward the marsh. Homes closer to the water pick up more airborne grit and salt on sills and sliding-door tracks, so those get extra passes. The same honest pricing applies as elsewhere in the city.
