The homes of Hoboken

Hoboken fits about 30,000 homes into one square mile on the Hudson River, facing Manhattan. Census figures show how they are stacked: 47 percent are in buildings with 20 or more units, another 32 percent are in buildings of 5 to 19, and only 4 percent are single family houses. Two in three homes are rented. By age the city splits two ways. About a third of the homes were built before 1940, the brownstones and row houses on the streets off Washington Street, and a similar share has gone up since 2000 in the mid rises and towers by the waterfront and on the west side. Old or new, most rooms here are reached by a stoop, a stairwell or an elevator, and that shapes how a cleaning visit is planned.

How a visit works here

Tell us the floor and the way in when you ask for a quote. In a walk up we carry hoses and tools by the stairs, so the number of flights matters. In an elevator building the front desk or the super may want notice, and some buildings set hours for outside work. Street parking is tight on most blocks, so a spot near the door or a loading zone saves time. After the cleaning, open a window or run the air for a few hours while the carpet or the fabric dries.

Hoboken: questions, answered

Do you clean carpets and sofas in Hoboken apartment buildings?

Yes. Apartments are the rule here: Census figures put 96 percent of Hoboken homes in buildings with two or more units. Tell us the floor, say if there is an elevator and where we can park, and ask your building if it wants notice before outside work.

How long does carpet take to dry in a Hoboken apartment?

Usually a few hours. It depends on the fiber, the weather and how much air moves through the room, so open a window or run the air conditioning or a fan after we leave. Wool and thick pile take longer than a flat synthetic carpet.

What should I tell you when I ask for a quote in Hoboken?

The rooms or the pieces, their size and the material if you know it. Add the floor you live on, the elevator or the number of flights, and any stains or pet accidents. Quotes are free, and those details let us quote the job as it really is.
