East and North Valley
Paradise Valley is our most detailed work, with estates that need product-matched cleaning on stone, glass, and custom finishes. We plan longer visits and keep consistent teams so household staff and homeowners see familiar faces. Guest houses, outdoor kitchens, and extensive glass facing Camelback and Mummy Mountain get particular attention.

What we plan for
Paradise Valley is almost entirely large-lot estates and custom homes, many with guest houses, pools, outdoor kitchens, natural stone, and floor-to-ceiling glass. Resort-style landscaping brings pollen and leaf litter.
Timing. Winter residents and second homes mean opening and closing cleans in fall and spring, and resort landscaping drops pollen in spring.
Getting in. Estates have gated entries and long driveways, and we coordinate with household staff for access.
On the Paradise Valley checklist
Three lines our teams weight more heavily here, on top of the standard room-by-room list.
Local knowledge
Many Paradise Valley homes are second residences, so the schedule follows the owner's travel: a deep clean before arrival, recurring visits while the family is in town, and a closing clean when they leave. Tell us who to confirm each visit with, and the office calls that person the day before. On larger estates that is often a house manager or household staff. The written checklist carries your notes, such as rooms to skip and anything you would rather nobody handled, and the same team comes back every visit, which matters in a house with this many rooms.
The finishes call for care. Onyx, marble and limestone get pH-neutral stone products, oiled and lacquered woods get a dry or barely damp cloth, and plaster walls are dusted rather than washed. Hillside homes on Mummy Mountain and the north slope of Camelback have walls of glass that we clean from the inside with squeegees and lint-free cloths. A first deep clean scrubs the grout and clears hard water marks from glass and fixtures, with products chosen for the metal around them.
Many of the town's houses were built in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, and some are remodeled or replaced with a new custom home on the same large lot. A post-construction clean in a house that size runs in phases: a rough pass with HEPA vacuums for drywall and stone dust, a detail pass through cabinets, fixtures and glass, and a touch-up once the contractor's punch list is closed. Protective film comes off windows and appliances, and new stone is checked for residue before the kitchen is used.
Some owners offer the house or the guest house as a vacation rental for part of the winter, or for a wedding, a golf week or spring training. Those stays get a full turnover between groups: fresh linens on every bed, bathrooms restocked from the owner's supply, the kitchen reset, and a photo report sent to the owner once the house is ready. When an estate is sold or a long lease ends, a move-out clean takes in every closet, cabinet and appliance, inside and out.
Local facts
A few public facts about Paradise Valley shape how we plan a visit here, from which utility supplies your water to the Town's rules for short-term rentals.
From the public sources named on each line, checked 16 October 2026.
Water hardness
EPCOR's 2025 water quality report for its Paradise Valley district gives hardness of approximately 12 grains per gallon, above the 10.5 grains its own scale calls very hard. EPCOR states that it does not treat drinking water for hardness.

Water providers
The Town lists four water providers within its limits: Berneil Water Company, City of Phoenix Water Service, City of Scottsdale Water Service and EPCOR Water Company. Which one serves a home depends on where it sits in town.

Short-term rental permit
Before a short-term rental is offered, the Town requires the owner or a representative to register it with the Town, obtain a Town permit and hold a state transaction privilege tax license. The application names a person who responds to complaints and a designated emergency contact, and owners must give every guest a copy of the Town's Good Neighbor brochure.

Short-term rental cleaning standard
The Town's health and safety rules for short-term rentals require the owner to have the rental cleaned between bookings following CDC guidelines, using household disinfectant products advised by the EPA. They also require a posted evacuation map, a fire extinguisher in the kitchen and on each floor, and a working landline or similar fixed phone on every floor.

Trash collection
The Town does not provide trash or recycling collection; residents subscribe to one of six licensed private companies. Pickup is Monday and Thursday east of Tatum Boulevard and north of Lincoln Drive, and Tuesday and Friday west of Tatum and south of Lincoln.

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. Give us the name and number of whoever should be contacted, and the office confirms the team and the arrival window with them the day before each visit, one-time or recurring. Tell us the entrance to use and any rooms that are off limits, and those notes go on the checklist.
Yes, from the inside on every deep clean and after a remodel. Exterior glass is a separate window cleaning booking, and on steep lots some panes sit higher than a ladder or pole can safely reach. We look at those with you first and tell you plainly which ones we can do and which need specialist equipment.
Yes. A deep clean in the days before a gathering covers entertaining rooms, guest bathrooms, the kitchen and the guest house if guests will use it. If caterers or florists are arriving the same day, tell us their timing and we finish the rooms they need first.
Yes. Share the booking calendar and each turnover is planned from the check-out time. The team changes the linens, restocks from your supply, resets the kitchen and bathrooms, and photographs every room so you can see the house is ready before the next guests arrive. A guest house they use is added to that visit and its checklist.
Yes. Paradise Valley is on our daily routes from central Phoenix, 20 to 30 minutes in typical traffic. Recurring clients keep the same team and the same day.
