The homes of Montclair
Montclair climbs the eastern slope of First Watchung Mountain in Essex County, and most of what stands on that slope was built long ago. Census figures count about 16,500 homes for some 40,300 people, and 59 percent of those homes date from before 1940. Because that is more than half, the Census Bureau gives no median year for the township and says only that the middle home is older than 1940. Just 9 percent of homes have been added since 2000. Single family houses come to 53 percent, among them the large older houses Montclair is known for. Apartments fill out the picture. Buildings of 20 units or more hold 16 percent of homes, and several of them stand near Bloomfield Avenue, the main street through the center of town.
How a visit works here
A visit to a Montclair house starts at the curb. Tell us if there is a driveway we can use and how many steps rise from it to the door, since a house set above the street means a longer carry. Inside, count the flights between the entry and the rooms being cleaned. For an apartment, give us the floor and ask the manager if outside work needs notice or a reserved elevator. We look over the carpet or the furniture with you first and say what to expect. Carpet and fabric need a few hours to dry, fewer when the doors between rooms stand open.

Montclair: questions, answered
Do you clean apartments in Montclair, or only houses?
Both. Close to half of Montclair homes, 47 percent, share a building with other households, so apartments are everyday work here. Say which floor you are on and how we get in, and ask your building manager if outside work needs notice. In a house, the driveway and the stairs are what we need to hear about.
Can wool carpet on the stairs of my Montclair house be cleaned?
Yes. Wool takes a gentler cleaning than nylon: less water goes on, since the fiber holds more of it and dries slower. Tell us it is wool when you ask for a quote, and count the steps. Expect the stairs in your Montclair house to stay damp somewhat longer than a synthetic carpet would.
Does your service area include Upper Montclair?
Upper Montclair is part of Montclair Township, and yes, the township is one we work in. Essex County, where it lies, is among the six counties of New Jersey that we cover. Tell us your street address when you call and we confirm the visit. We are open 24 hours, every day.
