Cleaning homes in Corte Madera
Most of what we clean here went up between 1950 and 1968: three bedrooms, one or two baths, kitchen at the back, slab floor, no basement. Nothing about the layout fights you. A crew moves through a Madera Gardens or Marina Village house in a predictable rhythm, which is why recurring biweekly service is the default booking in this town rather than the occasional one.
Christmas Tree Hill breaks the pattern completely. The houses above the flats are older and smaller, the streets narrow to a lane and a half, and several front doors sit up a flight of steps from wherever you managed to park. Those visits take longer than the floor area suggests, and we say so at quoting time instead of discovering it on the doorstep with the clock running.
The housing stock in Corte Madera
The baseline is a 1,300 to 1,800 square foot single-story house from the fifties or sixties: slab foundation, low-pitch roof, sliding door onto a back patio, and a mix of vinyl, tile and carpet. Townhome and condominium clusters sit near the shopping centers, and a scattering of larger rebuilds has appeared on the older lots. Christmas Tree Hill is the outlier, with 1920s and 1930s cottages, steep parcels, tight rooms and stairs the flats simply do not have.
