House Cleaning in Sherman Oaks

South of Ventura Boulevard between the 405 and Coldwater Canyon is the heart of family Sherman Oaks. Original 1950s and 1960s ranch homes, 1,800 to 3,200 sq ft, three or four bedrooms, two-car attached garages, mature landscaping, pool in the backyard. The cleaning challenge here is mostly volume — a family of four with a dog and a pool generates a lot of work. Our standard south-of-Ventura weekly is a two-cleaner crew, three to four hours, hitting kitchen, three bathrooms, all bedrooms, all common areas, hardwood and tile floors, with a quarterly rotation that adds inside-fridge, inside-oven, baseboards, and light fixtures.

Most clients add laundry turnover and bed linen change to the recurring weekly. A meaningful share also add patio, pool deck, and outdoor furniture wipe-down for the summer months — Valley summers are dusty and the deck furniture takes a beating.

Sherman Oaks hillside is a different operational reality. Royal Woods, Longridge, the streets climbing up Coldwater Canyon and Beverly Glen toward Mulholland — narrow roads, tight driveways, retaining walls, hairpin turns. Square footage runs 2,500 to 6,000 sq ft. Most clients are weekly cadence, two- or three-cleaner crews, three to four hours per visit.

Hillside dust is real. Canyon airflow pulls dust up the slope and into every open door, and HVAC pulls it through the filters. We use HEPA vacuums and microfiber on every surface for hillside homes, and we flag HVAC filter replacement on every visit. Most hillside clients should be on a 30-day filter cycle, not the 90 days the box recommends.

North of Ventura, along Magnolia, Riverside, and the side streets, is a mix of older two-story Spanish duplexes, mid-century apartments, and a wave of new four- and five-story condo buildings from the 2010s and 2020s. Square footage runs 800 to 2,200 sq ft. Most clients are bi-weekly cadence, two-cleaner crews, 90 minutes to two and a half hours per visit.

Pricing here is the most competitive part of Sherman Oaks. A 1,200 sq ft two-bedroom new condo is $190 to $230 bi-weekly. A 1,800 sq ft Spanish duplex unit is $220 to $260 bi-weekly. Pre-listing details for the new condos run $290 to $440 — there is meaningful turnover in this stock as families upgrade from condo to ranch home further south.

Bi-weekly south-of-Ventura ranch homes 1,800 to 3,200 sq ft run $230 to $360 per visit. Weekly is roughly 15 percent less per visit. Hillside homes 2,500 to 6,000 sq ft run $260 to $560 weekly depending on size. Magnolia corridor condos and duplexes 800 to 2,200 sq ft run $190 to $260 bi-weekly.

Add-ons are standard: laundry turnover at $25 to $40, bed linen change at $15 per bed, oven and fridge interior at $40 each, patio and pool deck wipe-down at $30 to $50. We will quote everything flat, in writing, before the first visit.
