East and North Valley
Cave Creek is desert living, and we plan for more dust, more spider webs, and more wildlife on patios than anywhere else in the Valley. Larger lots and horse properties mean tracked-in grit in mudrooms and garages, and we adjust our visits accordingly. We schedule Cave Creek alongside Carefree and North Scottsdale.

What we plan for
Cave Creek is larger-lot custom and territorial-style homes, many with horse facilities, well water, and open desert on all sides. Saltillo tile, wood beams, and stone are common.
Timing. Dust is worst in spring wind and monsoon season, and wildlife activity on patios increases in summer.
Getting in. Lots are large with long dirt driveways, so we plan extra time; some homes are on unpaved roads.
On the Cave Creek checklist

Local knowledge
Cave Creek clients are often retirees, seasonal residents and people who moved out for space and horses. Homes sit on large lots, many reached by dirt roads, and they are built in a territorial style with Saltillo tile, exposed wood beams, stone fireplaces and deep covered porches. Plenty of properties run on private wells, which can leave heavier mineral buildup than city water, so shower glass, faucets and fixture aerators scale up quickly.
Saltillo is porous and usually sealed, so we mop it with a pH-neutral cleaner that will not strip the sealer, and we dust beams and vigas from the floor with extension tools before touching any lower surface. Desert dust arrives every day and heavier after wind, and porches and entries collect webs and debris that need clearing each visit. Seasonal owners often book a deep clean before returning in the fall, recurring visits keep the dust in check while they are in town, and the same team returns each time.

Truly an amazing company. Called them on Sunday to schedule a move out clean on Monday. It was a short notice but they were able to work with me. The two ladies who came to do the clean were so professional and the attention to detail was phenomenal. Highly recommend this company.
Yes. Tell us about the road, the driveway and any gate when you book, and the office plans the drive and the time for it. If a road is impassable after heavy monsoon rain, the office contacts you to move the visit rather than risk getting stuck.
It can. Homes on private wells often show heavier mineral buildup on shower glass, faucets and toilet bowls. We use descalers suited to each finish and work on heavy deposits over more than one visit if needed, rather than using harsh acids that could damage chrome, stone or enamel.
Yes. Saltillo is mopped with a pH-neutral product that protects its sealer, and grout lines are brushed gently. Beams and vigas are dusted with extension tools before anything below them is cleaned. If your tile has been recently resealed, let us know the product so we can match it.
