Join the Opening List →Shaker Heights was planned as a suburb more than a century ago and much of it is still protected, so its houses tend to keep their plaster, old woodwork and original tile. When TotalCare Cleaning comes to Shaker Heights, the plan will start from the age and character of those homes.
The Van Sweringen brothers bought former North Union Shaker land in 1905 for a planned garden suburb. Shaker Heights incorporated in 1912 and became a city in 1931. About 75 percent of it is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Shaker Village Historic District, and the city is known for strict building codes that protect its housing.
The city is organized around nine neighborhoods named for its nine original elementary schools, among them Boulevard, Fernway, Lomond, Ludlow and Malvern. It sits in the Doan Brook watershed, with several small lakes first dammed by the Shakers, including Horseshoe Lake and Lower Shaker Lake, and the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes.
Census estimates put the median year built at 1945. About 42 percent of homes were built in 1939 or earlier and about 91 percent before 1980, which makes Shaker Heights one of the oldest housing stocks among the suburbs on these pages.
That age shapes every visit. Painted trim and sills in a pre-1978 home are wiped with a damp cloth, never scraped. Original bathroom tile and patched grout get a soft brush and a neutral cleaner. Hardwood with a thin, often refinished surface gets a barely damp mop. The older home cleaning guide goes into each of these materials.
Shaker Heights handles trash differently from most suburbs. The city says most of its collections are made from back and side yards, and garbage must be bagged inside rigid, lidded containers of up to 32 gallons. Point the cleaner to your container so bagged household trash ends up in it, lid closed, rather than at the curb.
Shaker Heights is also on the East Side, where lake-effect snow falls hardest and the snow belt begins in the Heights. A cleared path to the back-yard containers and a mat at the back door help through the snow months.
Most older homes do best with a One-Time Deep Clean first, then a bi-weekly Recurring House Clean. Prices come from the same Cleveland price table as everywhere else in the area, by bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage.
