We Love Local
Local families taking care of local homes. We are owner-operated in Albuquerque, and the businesses around us are the reason this city feels like home.
Local Families Taking Care of Local Homes
Two guys named Brandon started Sandia in 2017 to clean homes the way they would want their own done.
Best of the City eight years straight, voted by our own neighbors.
We are a small, locally owned business and every appointment on our schedule matters. The people cleaning your home live here too. They shop the same stores, drive the same roads, and send their kids to the same schools.
Albuquerque has voted us Best of the City for green living services eight years running, from 2018 through 2025. That award comes from residents, not a panel, which is why it means so much to the team.
Our hospital-grade disinfection product, Breezy Blue, is developed and manufactured in Albuquerque. It is bleach-free, biodegradable, and available as an add-on to any clean.
From locally owned coffee shops to Earth Day events across ABQ, we spend our time and our dollars with the businesses that make this place ours. When you hire a local team, that money stays in New Mexico.
The People Behind the Green Vans
Neighbors, parents, and New Mexicans. These are the people who show up at your door.
Local Hires, Not Contractors
Every person on our crew is a Sandia employee who lives here. No day-labor apps, no rotating strangers in your home.
Highest Living Wage in the State
Supporting local means paying local people properly. We pay the highest living wage in New Mexico for this work and we protect our team's weekends too.
The Same Faces Every Visit
You get the same trained three-person team each time. They learn your home, your pets, and the details you care about.
Owner-Operated Since 2017
Two guys named Brandon started Sandia to clean homes the way they would want their own done. They are still the ones running it.
The Van Your Neighbors Know
A lot of our work comes from someone seeing the van down the street and asking about it. That is the best compliment we get.
Eight Communities, One Standard
Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Corrales, Bernalillo, Placitas, Los Alamos and Las Cruces. Same team, same standard, wherever you are.
Best of the City, Eight Years Straight
Albuquerque residents voted us Best of the City every year from 2018 through 2025. Those votes came from neighbors, not a panel.
909+ Five-Star New Mexico Families
Nearly a thousand households across the state have left us five stars. Most of them found us through someone they know.
Breezy Blue Is Made Here Too
Our optional disinfection add-on is developed and manufactured in Albuquerque. Even the products we bring are local.
Careers That Stay Local
We hire from the communities we clean in and build real careers here, not gig work. That is why the same faces keep showing up at your door.
Your Money Stays in New Mexico
Hire a national franchise and the margin leaves the state. Hire us and it pays New Mexico wages, buys from New Mexico suppliers, and stays here.
We Show Up for the Community
Local Earth Day events, independent coffee shops, neighborhood fundraisers. We spend our time and our dollars where we live.
Local Spots We Love in Albuquerque
A few of the locally owned places our team actually goes, and the local causes we show up for.
Locally owned coffee shops
Albuquerque has a genuinely great independent coffee scene, and our crews have opinions. Early mornings before a full day of cleans mean we have tried most of them, and we would rather hand our money to a neighbor than a drive-thru chain.
- Independent roasters across ABQ
- Our teams start early, so we have done the research
Earth Day and green living in ABQ
Eco-friendly is not a marketing line for us, it is how we clean every single home. Every year we point people toward local Earth Day events and the small changes that add up, like composting, which is far easier than most people realize.
- No harsh chemicals, no off-gassing, safe for kids and pets
- Local Earth Day events every spring
Best of the City, voted by neighbors
Eight years straight, Albuquerque residents have voted Sandia Green Clean Best of the City. Every one of those votes came from someone who lives here, and the team does not take that lightly.
- Best of the City 2018 through 2025
- 909+ five-star New Mexico families
Highest living wage in the state
Supporting local means paying local people properly. We pay the highest living wage in the state for this work, protect our team's weekends, and keep the same crew on your home so they build a real career here.
- Weekends protected for every team member
- Same team every visit, so they know your home
Where do you clean across New Mexico?
Albuquerque is home, and we also serve Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Corrales, Bernalillo, Placitas, Los Alamos and Las Cruces. Same team, same standard, wherever you are in the state.
- Eight New Mexico communities served
- Local crews in Albuquerque and Las Cruces
How can I support other local businesses?
Shop the independent spots, vote in Best of the City, and show up to local events. Small choices add up, and every dollar spent with a locally owned business stays in New Mexico instead of leaving the state.
- Vote in Albuquerque Best of the City each year
- Choose independent over chain when you can
Hire a local team that lives here too.

We do not service these places from a call center three states away. Our crews live in them, shop in them, and send their kids to school in them.
Albuquerque - Two Brandons and a station wagon
Sandia started here in 2017 because two guys named Brandon could not find a cleaning service that did the job the way they would do it themselves. Albuquerque voted us Best of the City the very next year, and every year since. Nine years later most of our crew still lives within a few miles of where we started.
What Albuquerque means to us
- Founded here: 2017, and still headquartered in the same city
- Voted by neighbors: Best of the City eight years running, 2018 to 2025
- Breezy Blue: Our optional disinfectant is made right here in town
- Where we spend: Independent coffee shops, local suppliers, neighborhood fundraisers
Rio Rancho - Where a lot of our team lives
Rio Rancho grew fast and kept its neighborhood feel, which is exactly why so many of our crew members chose to raise families here. When someone on the team cleans a Rio Rancho home, there is a decent chance they drive past it on the school run.
Why Rio Rancho is different
- Crew hometown: A large share of our team lives in Rio Rancho
- Referral heavy: Most new clients here come from a neighbor's recommendation
- Short drives: Less time on the road means more time in your home
- Growing with it: We have added crew here every year since 2019
Santa Fe - Adobe, art, and older homes
Santa Fe homes are not like anywhere else in the state. Plaster walls, saltillo tile, viga ceilings, and a lot of original art on the walls. Our teams learned that the hard way years ago, and now the crews who work Santa Fe are the ones who know how to treat those surfaces.
Built for Santa Fe homes
- Surface-aware: Saltillo, plaster and viga get handled differently
- No harsh chemicals: Which matters more when the finishes are original
- Art-conscious: We dust around pieces, we do not move them
- Same crew: They learn your home once and remember it
Corrales - Horses, ditches, and dust
Corrales is a village that fought to stay a village, and it shows. Dirt lanes, acequias, horse property, and homes that collect a particular kind of dust you do not get in the city. Our crews plan for it, and the green van has become a familiar sight along Corrales Road.
Village-specific realities
- Dust country: Dirt roads mean more dust, and we plan for it
- Animal friendly: Horse property, farm dogs, barn cats, all normal to us
- Known locally: Neighbors recognize the van before they meet the crew
- Word of mouth: Corrales runs on recommendations and so do we
Bernalillo - Small town, real roots
Bernalillo sits between Albuquerque and Santa Fe and gets treated like a stop on the way to somewhere else. We do not see it that way. It is close enough that our crews cover it without rushing, and small enough that people notice when a company actually shows up on time.
How we serve Bernalillo
- Not an afterthought: Same crews and same standard as Albuquerque
- Reputation travels: In a town this size, one bad clean would end us
- Easy scheduling: Close to home base, so timing is flexible
- No contracts: Start or pause whenever life changes
Placitas - Up in the foothills
Placitas homes sit up against the mountain with big windows, long views, and wind that puts grit on every sill. It is a drive for our crews and worth it. These are the homes where a real deep clean shows the most, because there is simply more surface for the desert to land on.
Mountain home details
- Wind and grit: Sills, tracks and ledges get real attention up here
- Big glass: Those views only work when the interior glass is clean
- Larger homes: A three-person team covers them without a full-day disruption
- Worth the drive: We cover Placitas at the same standard, no surcharge games
Hire a Team That Lives Here Too
