Chesapeake is big enough to contain several different kinds of home. South Norfolk has closely spaced wood-frame houses from the 1920s, Greenbrier has communities that grew up around a large employment center, and about 29 percent of homes in the city date from 2000 or later.

TotalCare Cleaning will service Chesapeake, including Great Bridge and Greenbrier, with a visit that suits the house rather than the zip code.

A very large city with several centers

The City of Chesapeake covers 353 square miles of urban, suburban and rural areas and has more than 240,000 residents. Greenbrier, established in the mid-1970s, is its main commercial hub and largest employment center, with residential communities and a daytime workforce of nearly 50,000.

Great Bridge is older in its history. The first pitched battle of the Revolutionary War in Virginia was fought there on December 9, 1775, and Chesapeake adopted the Great Bridge Historic Gateway Overlay District on June 16, 2020, with four character districts. South Norfolk has its own historic district, mostly closely spaced wood-frame houses built by the late 1920s, nearly all with a front porch.

Detached houses, many of them recent

About 67 percent of Chesapeake housing units are single family detached homes, about 29 percent of homes were built in 2000 or later, and about 28 percent of occupied homes are rented. Most visits here will be to a family house, where a back door, a garage entry and more than one bathroom take the most wear.

An Initial Deep Clean brings the detail items up to standard, with hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks and ceiling fans and vents wiped in place. A Recurring House Clean then keeps kitchens, baths and floors in order.

A porch house in South Norfolk needs something a little different. Old wood and paint call for damp wiping, and any home from before 1978 should have peeling or chipping paint left to a qualified contractor.

Soft water from several sources

Chesapeake's Northwest River plant treats river water and brackish groundwater with reverse osmosis, its Lake Gaston plant treats raw water bought from Norfolk, and Western Branch customers get treated water bought from Portsmouth. The city's water quality report lists total hardness of 18 to 36 parts per million for water from the Northwest River and Lake Gaston plants.

That is soft water. Heavy mineral crust is rarely the problem here, and soap film is more likely to be what dulls the shower door. Regular wiping takes care of it. If you get Western Branch water, look to the Portsmouth figures, because that supply is different.

Mosquitoes, damp and screens

The Chesapeake Mosquito Control Commission tells residents to change water in birdbaths, pet dishes and vases twice a week, clean clogged gutters and keep door and window screens repaired. In a city with this much rural and low-lying land, those are worthwhile habits. A torn screen lets in more than mosquitoes. It also lets pollen and dust through.

Norfolk International Airport, the closest major weather station, averages 49.18 inches of precipitation a year and about 36 days of 90 degrees or hotter. Summer damp is what slows bathrooms down, so run the fan during showers and leave the door open afterward. The seasonal guide covers the rest of the year.

Moves and bulky items

With about 28 percent of occupied homes rented, some Chesapeake households will be facing a move-out. Virginia law gives a landlord 45 days after the tenancy ends, or after the tenant moves out if later, to return the deposit with an itemized list. A One-Time Moving Clean adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets. See the move-out guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chesapeake Cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

Mostly no. The city lists total hardness of 18 to 36 parts per million for water from its Northwest River and Lake Gaston plants, which is soft. Western Branch customers get water bought from Portsmouth, so those households should look at that report.
Not the price. Those neighborhood pages now point here, and starting prices follow bedrooms and bathrooms, priced by the home, not by the hour. What changes is the house itself, for example how old it is and how many people live there.
They need gentler handling. The South Norfolk Historic District is mostly wood-frame houses built by the late 1920s. Old wood and paint get damp wiping, and peeling paint in any home from before 1978 belongs with a qualified contractor.
The Chesapeake Mosquito Control Commission tells residents to change water in birdbaths, pet dishes and vases twice a week, clean clogged gutters and keep screens repaired. A cleaner can wipe sills and tracks, but the yard work is what makes the difference.
