Stairs before the front door
Plenty of homes here are reached only by an outdoor flight of steps up from the street. Let us know how many and whether there is a handrail; it changes what equipment comes up and how the visit is staffed.

Fairfax, from a cleaner's point of view
Getting to the front door is the first part of the job. Lanes off Bolinas Road and up toward the Cascades were laid out for summer cabins, not for two-income households with three vehicles, so a crew parks where it can and carries in. That means bringing less and choosing better: a compact vacuum, a caddy, microfiber that gets laundered rather than a cart of bottles. Nobody minds. It is the arrangement the whole town lives with.
What waits at the top is usually small and full of wood. Redwood paneling, board-and-batten walls, ceilings low enough to reach, and windows that have not been square since the sixties. Deer Park and the canyon streets sit under so much canopy that light barely reaches the north rooms, which keeps things cool and encourages mildew in the shower and along sills. We work these houses room by room instead of by square footage, because square footage here tells you almost nothing.
What Fairfax homes are like to clean
The typical house is under 1,400 square feet and older than most of its neighbors' cars: 1920s and 1930s cabins, post-war cottages, a scattering of self-built additions with a step down between rooms. Floors are fir, painted plank or worn tile. Kitchens are narrow. Bathrooms are often one. Steep driveways, outdoor staircases and hillside decks are standard, so the crew’s route through a house is planned before anything gets unloaded. Condominium buildings barely exist here.

What's different about cleaning in Fairfax
The small things that decide whether a visit runs smoothly or runs late.
Canopy means damp corners
Under the tree cover on the canyon streets, north-facing rooms stay cool all year. Shower grout, window sills and the backs of closets pick up mildew faster than they would three miles east. Those spots get scrubbed, not just wiped.
Woodstoves and fine ash
A lot of these houses still heat with wood. Fine ash travels well beyond the hearth and settles on shelves, screens and upholstery in a way ordinary dusting redistributes. Crews vacuum with HEPA filtration first, then wipe, in that order.

Common questions in Fairfax
The general FAQ covers access, supplies, rescheduling and the guarantee.
My street is too narrow for a van. Is that a problem?
No, and it is normal here. Crews carry compact equipment specifically so they can park on Bolinas Road or in a wide spot below and walk up. If your lane has a turnaround or a shared pullout, mentioning it when you book helps, but access alone is never a reason we decline a booking.
Do you clean cabins used as short-term rentals?
Yes. Turnover cleans on the smaller canyon properties are a regular part of the work — linens stripped and remade, kitchen reset, bathroom sanitized, deck swept of leaf drop. Because the houses are compact, a turnover usually fits a tight window between guests. Give us the checkout and check-in times and the visit is scheduled inside them.
Can you handle woodstove and fireplace areas?
The hearth surround, glass door, mantel and the floor in front of it are all part of a standard visit. What we do not do is sweep the flue or handle hot or recently used ash — that is a chimney sweep’s job and a genuine fire risk. Clear the firebox cold and we take care of everything around it.
