01 / Where we clean

Where in San Mateo we clean

We cover all four San Mateo ZIP codes: 94401, 94402, 94403 and 94404. Every one of them can be booked today.

East of El Camino Real

Downtown, Shoreview and the bay side

Downtown, North Central, Central, Shoreview-Parkside, North Shoreview, Fiesta Gardens, Lakeshore and Harbortown: the denser side of town, with lots of apartments and condos. They price the same way as houses: by bedrooms, size and condition. Gate code, callbox or guest parking? There’s a spot for it at booking.

West of El Camino Real

San Mateo Park, Baywood and the hills

San Mateo Park, Baywood, Aragon, Beresford-Hillsdale, Sugarloaf, Laurelwood and the Highlands: mostly single-family homes, many of them mid-century. On a steep street, mention the driveway or the stairs when you book.

By the Hillsdale station

Bay Meadows

The neighborhood built on the old racetrack, with newer townhomes and apartments. Newer homes tend to have big windows and open plans, so interior windows are worth adding at Essential tier.

The Highlands and Baywood Park are unincorporated but share the 94402 ZIP, so they’re covered too.

We also clean the rest of the Peninsula, from Daly City to Redwood City, plus San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Fremont and Hayward and Marin.

02 / Homes

The homes we clean in San Mateo

San Mateo has a bit of everything: 19th-century buildings downtown, prewar houses in San Mateo Park, mid-century ranches and Eichlers in Baywood, 19th Avenue Park and the Highlands, and new construction at Bay Meadows.

An Eichler is mostly glass, often with radiant-heated floors. Interior windows are an add-on at Essential tier and included in Complete. Mention cork or radiant floors at booking and we’ll go easy on the water.

Home cleaning options in San Mateo

Three tiers. Essential (from $179) is the standard clean below. Complete adds interior windows, appliance fronts, exterior cabinet detailing, light fixtures, blinds, inside the microwave, and beds made with fresh linens. Signature adds specialty detailing, range hood degreasing, two eligible add-ons, priority scheduling, and a walkthrough before we start.

Every tier works as a one-time clean or on a schedule: recurring cleaning runs weekly, bi-weekly or monthly at 5–15% off the base rate. If it’s been six months or more, or never, start with deep cleaning.

Downtown and the Caltrain stations

San Mateo has three Caltrain stations: downtown, Hayward Park and Hillsdale. The apartments over shops downtown and the condos near the stations price the same way as houses, by bedrooms, size and condition.

Older homes in San Mateo Park and Baywood

The historic northwest has prewar houses with original hardwood and detailed woodwork. We clean them with care, not force: low-moisture floor cleaning, gentler products on old finishes, and extra time on the wood. If a surface needs a specialist, we’ll say so.

Renting in San Mateo

About half of San Mateo homes are rented (2020 census). Moving out? Our move-out cleaning is built for the landlord walkthrough, and move-in cleaning covers the other side of the same week.

03 / What’s covered

What a standard clean covers in a San Mateo home

Our Essential clean is the full standard clean, and it’s what most people book.

Kitchen

Counters, backsplash, and sink. Appliance exteriors and the outside of the stovetop and range. Cabinet and drawer faces wiped down. Floors swept and mopped. Trash out.

Bathrooms

Toilet cleaned and sanitized, bowl to base. Shower, tub, and the tile around them. Sink, vanity, counters, and mirror. Floors and trash.

Every room

Dusting of reachable surfaces, vacuuming carpets and rugs in place, sweeping and mopping hard floors, general tidying, and trash and recycling out to your bin.

Where the line sits

“Reachable” means from the floor or a two-step stool. Anything higher we leave alone.

Not in Essential

Bed-making and linen changes, the insides of appliances, interior windows and baseboards. Those come with Complete or Signature, or as add-ons. Our house cleaning page covers each level.

04 / Prices

What house cleaning in San Mateo costs

San Mateo prices are the same as in San Francisco. House cleaning starts at $179: a one-bedroom home at Essential tier in maintained condition. It’s also our booking minimum, with no plan attached.

There’s no hourly meter: you get one firm price for the visit. Size, bedrooms and bathrooms, condition and tier move the price; add-ons and a flat pet surcharge sit on top. Get your price online in about two minutes, or see every tier and add-on on our pricing page.
