House Cleaning in Decatur, GA
Decatur bungalows have original hardwood, hundred-year-old tile and trim nobody makes any more. These houses reward a crew that slows down.
Decatur, Oakhurst, Kirkwood and Avondale Estates are built largely of 1920s to 1940s housing - bungalows, craftsman homes and Tudor revivals, most of them renovated at least once. It is the oldest housing stock we work in, and it behaves differently from anything newer.
Original materials need judgment rather than force. Hexagonal bathroom tile, cast-iron tubs, plaster walls, unsealed grout and heart-pine floors all punish the wrong product. Our crews here are briefed specifically on what not to use, which matters more in these homes than what they do use.
Layouts are smaller and more compartmented than a modern open plan - more rooms, more doorways, more trim and more baseboard per square foot. A 1,800 square foot bungalow can take longer than a 2,500 square foot new build, and we quote it honestly rather than discovering it on the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you damage my original hardwood or tile?
No. Crews working Decatur and Kirkwood homes are briefed on older materials specifically - the wrong product on unsealed grout or heart pine causes damage that cannot be reversed.
Why might my smaller house cost the same as a bigger one?
Older homes have more rooms, doorways, trim and baseboard per square foot than an open-plan new build. We price the actual work rather than the floor area alone.
