Vestavia Hills has an odd origin and a straightforward housing stock. It takes its name from a hilltop home built by a Birmingham mayor, and it grew through annexation into a city where the typical house has about seven rooms.

TotalCare Cleaning will service Vestavia Hills, including Altadena, Cahaba Heights and Liberty Park, with a focus on larger homes where keeping up matters more than any single deep visit.

From a temple on the mountain

Vestavia Hills was incorporated on November 8, 1950. It takes its name from Vestavia, the Roman temple style home Birmingham mayor George Ward built on the summit of Shades Mountain. It later absorbed Rocky Ridge and Altadena in the 1980s, Liberty Park in 1992 and Cahaba Heights in 2002.

Those annexations explain why the city holds such a range. An area added in 2002 or 1992 can look quite different from the older core around the original city.

Seven rooms and a median year of 1978

In Vestavia Hills the median home was built in 1978 and has 7.1 rooms. About 72 percent of units are single family detached, and about 22 percent of occupied homes are rented. By comparison, the median home in the city of Birmingham has 5.2 rooms, so a Vestavia Hills house is often a good deal more work.

More rooms mean more baseboards, blinds, fans and bathrooms. A One-Time Deep Clean gets those up to standard, with hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, ceiling fans and vents wiped in place. After that, a Recurring House Clean keeps the rooms in daily use in order. If some rooms sit closed, say so, and the time can go where the wear is.

A median year of 1978 also falls right at the line for paint. The EPA says homes built before 1978 are more likely to have lead-based paint, so peeling or chipping areas belong with a qualified contractor.

Water that varies across the system

Birmingham Water Works reported total hardness from 52 to 148 milligrams per liter in its 2022 testing, so hardness varies across the system from soft to hard. The U.S. Geological Survey classifies 61 to 120 as moderately hard and 121 to 180 as hard. The system treats water at four filtration plants: Carson, Shades Mountain, Putnam and Western.

So a Vestavia Hills household cannot assume a single number. If your shower door and faucets show spots, a squeegee after showers will help, and a deep visit treats glass for hard water spots and details faucets.

Spring rain and summer damp

Airport normals give the area 56.62 inches of precipitation a year, with March the wettest month, and about 81 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch. Mud and wet leaves come in with shoes and pets, and larger homes tend to have more than one door taking it.

Dew points near 70 degrees in July make bathrooms and basements slow to dry. Run exhaust fans and fix leaks, which is what the Jefferson County Department of Health advises, along with keeping indoor humidity below 50 percent. The humidity guide has the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vestavia Hills Cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

The median home has 7.1 rooms and was built in 1978. Starting prices follow bedrooms and bathrooms, priced by the home, not by the hour, so a larger house reads from a higher row of the Birmingham area table.
Birmingham Water Works reported total hardness from 52 to 148 milligrams per liter in 2022 testing, so it varies from soft to hard across the system. Check your own shower glass, and a deep visit treats any hard water spots that have built up.
Yes. Vestavia Hills absorbed Liberty Park in 1992 and Cahaba Heights in 2002, and those older neighborhood pages now point here. The visit depends on the size and age of your home, not on which part of the city it is in.
Many households find bi-weekly works best when every room is in use, and monthly when several sit closed. Begin with an Initial Deep Clean, which handles baseboards, blinds and fans, then adjust the schedule once you see how the home holds up.
