Contra Costa County
Winding roads, deep tree cover and houses built into hillsides. Getting there takes planning, and so does cleaning there.
Orinda homes step down slopes across two or three levels, often with exterior stairs to the entry and interior stairs between every room that matters. Stairs, landings and the railings alongside them take real time, and they never show up in a square-footage estimate. We quote from the layout so the number does not move after the first visit.
When smoke settles over the East Bay hills, a fine ash works its way in through vents, window tracks and any door that gets opened. It is light enough to redistribute rather than lift if you dry-dust it. Through those weeks we wash hard surfaces rather than wiping them, and we go over vents and returns more often than the schedule would normally call for.
Glorietta and Orinda Downs mix mid-century homes with a lot of glass and wood against Mediterranean houses with tile floors and plaster walls. Those want opposite things from a cleaning product. We look at what a house actually is before choosing anything.

Yes. Tile floors and plaster walls need different products from the mid-century wood-and-glass houses a few streets away, so we look at the house before deciding.
It is a scheduling detail, not a problem. Tell us about the driveway or turnaround and we build the time in rather than arriving late.
