Cleaning Services in Fortuna Foothills, AZ

It is also, by a wide margin, the most seasonal place in this market. Of the 19,942 housing units out here, 4,783 are counted by the Census as seasonal, recreational, or occasional use. That is close to a quarter of everything built, and it puts total vacancy at 31.7 percent. The median age is 61.2 and 44.1 percent of residents are 65 or older. Recurring house cleaning is a normal, expected purchase in a community that looks like this, and so is a home that sits closed and empty for six months of the year.

Those two facts drive what we do here. Open-up cleans in October and November for arrivals, close-up cleans in March and April for departures, recurring house cleaning through the season for full-time and part-time residents alike, and deep cleans for a home that has been shut since spring. Add move-out cleaning for the Foothills families connected to Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, about 23 minutes west, and to Yuma Proving Ground. The Foothills is a bedroom community for Yuma and for both installations, which means the moving calendar here is never quiet for long.

Desert dust is the constant. Homes in the Foothills sit closed and air-conditioned for months at a stretch, and the grit still gets in: ceiling fan blades, sliding-door tracks, window glass, patio furniture and shaded ramadas. Our 42-point checklist gives those surfaces named line items rather than treating them as a general dusting pass.
