Join the Opening List →TotalCare Cleaning will service Kailua as part of its Oahu coverage, including Lanikai, Enchanted Lake and the Kailua Beach area. Pricing follows the home, not the neighborhood, so what makes Kailua different is the type of house rather than the rate.
Kailua is mostly houses. About 72 percent of its 14,754 housing units are single family detached, against about 27 percent in urban Honolulu. The median home has 5.9 rooms, which is more than two rooms larger than the median home in town. About 28 percent of occupied homes are rented, roughly half the share in the city, so most households here stay put.
The town also has a practical track record with new household programs. Kailua was one of six pilot communities where Honolulu first accepted food scraps in the green cart, before G.R.O.W. went islandwide. Residents have had longer than most to get used to keeping kitchen waste out of the indoor bin, which is a small but real help with ants.
About 59 percent of Kailua's homes were built before 1970 and about 76 percent before 1980. That is older than the county as a whole, where the pre-1980 figure is 57 percent. Those decades show up in painted trim, older tile and fixtures, and tracks that have been cleaned around rather than cleaned out for years.
So the usual starting point is a One-Time Deep Clean or the Initial Deep Clean that begins a plan, with hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, ceiling fans wiped in place and shower glass treated for spots. For pre-1978 homes the EPA says lead paint is more likely, so any peeling paint should go to a qualified contractor first.
Larger homes also mean more bathrooms and longer hallways, which tends to place Kailua houses in the lower rows of the cost table than a town condo. An addition on an older house can change the square footage, too, and with it the row you land on.
Windward Oahu is wetter than the leeward coast. The nearby Kaneohe station's normal is 50.90 inches of rain a year, about three times Honolulu's airport figure. Expect more wet shoes at the door and bathrooms that dry more slowly than they would in town. Most family houses here do well on a bi-weekly Recurring House Clean, with weekly visits for a busy home with pets.
The Oahu Invasive Species Committee's office is in Kailua, and it is where island residents send ant samples. If you find tiny stinging ants around the house, that is your contact. Read more in the recurring guide.
