Tiburon, from a cleaner's point of view
Ask a homeowner here what actually bothers them and it is rarely dust. It is the haze that settles on bay-facing glass, the grit in slider tracks, the white bloom on outdoor hardware. Salt gets into everything on this peninsula, and a house out on Paradise Drive with water visible from both ends of the living room collects it twice over. That goes into the routine, not onto a deep-clean upsell.
Decks are the other constant. Nearly every property above Tiburon Boulevard has one or two, and they work like a conveyor for leaf litter, bird mess and sand. Hill Haven and the streets climbing toward Old St. Hilary’s are steep enough that outdoor debris rides indoors on every trip through a slider. Sweeping the deck threshold first saves doing the floors twice.
The building stock here
The building stock leans midcentury and later: 1950s through 1980s hillside houses designed around a view, a smaller number of older cottages near Ark Row and Main Street, and several condominium and townhome complexes off the boulevard. Two and three levels are normal, with the entry often on the middle floor. Floors are wood, tile or stone. Window area is unusually high for the square footage, and that is where the hours go.
