Hillside driveways and the van
The streets climbing off Mission Boulevard have short, steep driveways and no room at the curb, so we ask where you would like the vehicle before the first visit instead of guessing on the day.

House cleaning in Union City: the essentials
MaidSimple cleans homes throughout Union City, California. Everyone working here is on our payroll rather than subcontracted, vetted before hiring and insured, and nothing needs supplying at your end. Most of the housing was tract-built between the mid-seventies and the late nineties, two-bath, part carpet and part hard floor, with a band of much larger houses climbing the slope above Mission Boulevard. Flat pricing on a 3 bed / 2 bath home begins at $265. The whole city sits under 94587.

The shape of Union City
From the freeway this reads as one place. From inside it reads as three. Decoto, on the north side, is the older half: modest houses on smaller lots, a few of them pre-war, arranged on a street grid that predates the city itself. Alvarado, down toward the bay, holds the oldest buildings of all with newer infill wrapped around them at Sugar Mill Landing. Between the two, the seventies and eighties filled everything else with cul-de-sacs.
Then the ground tilts. Above Mission Boulevard the lots step up the hillside, the houses get considerably bigger, and living space is stacked over a tucked-under garage. Those visits need planning: where the vehicle goes, how many trips up, whether there is a second staircase. The flat side of town needs none of it, which is why the two ends of Union City get quoted differently.
The building stock here
The common house is a 1,400 to 1,900 square foot two-story from the eighties, carpeted upstairs, tile or wood down, two and a half bathrooms, small rear yard. Older Decoto homes are single-level and closer to 1,100 square feet. The hillside band runs 2,500 square feet and upward, with vaulted entries that put light fixtures and the tops of windows beyond normal reach. Condo and townhome stock clusters near the station and Union Landing.

Things worth knowing about Union City
Knowing these before the van arrives is most of what makes a visit go well.
Two stories means two bathroom sets
An upstairs hall bath and an ensuite reset separately, each with its own mirror, glass and floor. In an eighties two-story that is frequently the single longest stretch of the visit, and we schedule around it rather than trimming it back.
Older Decoto houses run slower
Pre-war and early post-war homes on the north side have painted wood trim, small tiled bathrooms and floors that are not quite level. More hand work per square foot, in other words, and the estimate is built around that rather than the room count alone.

The four ways we clean a Union City home
Same crews, same standard. Pick the one that fits your week.
Standard clean
The whole-home refresh most Union City homes book: kitchens, bathrooms, floors, dusting and tidying.
How it works →Deep clean
Baseboards, inside appliances, grout and vents — the detail work that resets a home.
How it works →Move in / move out
Empty-home cleaning judged against a landlord’s checklist, for deposits and handovers.
How it works →Recurring cleans
Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly visits from the same team, at a standing discount.
How it works →The difference in Union City
Most cleaning companies send whoever is available that day. Our cleaners are our own trained, vetted, W-2 employees — which costs us more in payroll tax, workers’ comp and training, and is exactly why the same people come back to your home and the standard holds.
- Employed, trained & background-checked cleaners
- Fully insured & bonded for your peace of mind
- Flat pricing — the quote is the price
- Easy rescheduling, no contracts ever
100%
Sparkle guarantee
If anything’s not right, let us know within 24 hours and we’ll come back and re-clean it — completely free. No forms, no fuss, no fine print.
Union City questions, answered
The general FAQ covers access, supplies, rescheduling and the guarantee.
Do you clean the hillside houses above Mission Boulevard?
Yes. They are the biggest homes in the city and the most physically demanding to work in, because the entry often sits a floor below the living space and the ceilings run double height. We put more people on those jobs instead of a longer window, and the quote is still built from your bedroom and bathroom totals.
Can you take a townhome near the BART station?
Yes. Attached homes price under a detached house with the same rooms, since there is no exterior-adjacent work and the footprint is tighter. What we need up front is the practical side: gate code, guest parking bay, and whether your association wants proof of insurance on file before anyone starts.
What does a first clean look like in an older Alvarado home?
Longer than the ones that follow it. A first visit in a house that has not had professional attention recently goes after the accumulated layer: cabinet tops, baseboards, window tracks, the grout line behind the faucet. Later visits then stay inside their normal length. We will say up front if we think the first one should be booked as a deep clean.
