House Cleaning in Highlands
Most homes here were built before 1920 and renovated twice since. Old wood, plaster trim, and radiators need a different hand than a new build does — ours know the difference.
The neighborhood
Century-old homes need a different touch
Four things show up in nearly every Highlands house, and each one changes how we work.
Original wood floors
- Damp mop, never a wet one — standing water opens old seams
- pH-neutral cleaner, no vinegar and no steam
- Grit swept out of gaps before anything wet touches the boards
- Rugs lifted and put back, not cleaned around
Narrow stairs and doorways
- Equipment carried up, not dragged along the newel post
- Cords routed away from the turn where everyone catches a shoulder
- Stair treads and risers cleaned by hand, edges included
- Railings and spindles wiped, since dust hides on the inside face
Plaster trim and picture rails
- Dry dusting first, so nothing turns to paste in a moulding profile
- Picture rails and door casings, top edge included
- Painted-over hardware left alone rather than scrubbed loose
- Chips and flaking noted for you, not made worse
Radiators
- Between the fins, where a whole winter of dust settles
- Wall and floor behind them, reached with a slim tool
- Covers lifted where they lift, left where they don’t
- Cleaned on every visit here, not only on deep cleans

Services and prices in Highlands
Start with a deep clean. In a house this old it isn’t an upsell — it’s the visit that gets a hundred years of trim, vents, and radiators to the same level.
| Home | Deep clean, first visit | Then monthly | Then every 2 weeks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 bed, 2 bath | $285 | $134 | $127 |
| 3 bed, 2 bath | $340 | $161 | $152 |
| 4 bed, 3 bath | $455 | $215 | $203 |
A first deep clean in a three-bedroom Victorian runs 5 to 6 hours with two cleaners. Duplexes and carriage-house conversions off 32nd and Tejon usually land in the two-bedroom row even when they feel bigger, because the bathroom count is what drives the work.
Many Highlands houses have been split into an owner unit and a rental. We can clean both on one visit and bill them separately — tell us at booking so the crew brings a second set of cloths and nothing crosses between units.
In their words
What a Highlands client says
“I have bad spring allergies and the dust in this house was constant. After the deep clean I actually slept through the night. Now they come monthly.”
Old houses hold dust in places a newer one doesn’t have: radiator fins, transom ledges, and the gap behind painted-shut window sashes. That’s the pattern behind reviews like this one.
