Why People Stay at Sandia

Most cleaning companies churn through people because the pay is low and the culture is thin. We built Sandia the other way around. Two neighbors named Brandon started this company in 2017 with their own families in mind, and that is still how we run it. When our team is taken care of, your work is better, and our customers feel it.

  • The Highest Living Wage in the StateWe pay our teams more than anyone in New Mexico, on purpose. Good people stay when the pay is real, and that is the whole foundation of how we work.
  • The Same Team, Every VisitYou work with the same three-person crew, not a rotating cast of strangers. You learn the homes, the customers learn you, and the trust builds over time.
  • In and Out in About Two HoursA coordinated team finishes most homes in roughly two hours. The work is real and detailed, but it is not an all-day grind, and your own weekends are protected.
  • A Name the City Already TrustsAlbuquerque The Magazine has voted us Best of the City eight years running, from 2018 through 2025. You would be joining a team this community already knows by the cars on the road.

Real pay and protected time off are why our people stay for years.

Questions About Working Here

A few of the things people ask before they apply.

Do I need cleaning experience to apply?
