Standard House Cleaning in Waxahachie, TX

Waxahachie has one of the largest collections of Victorian housing in Texas, and it is concentrated within walking distance of the granite courthouse on the square — gingerbread trim, wraparound porches, turned porch posts and steep gables, street after street of it. Ferris Heights and the streets around the historic district hold most of the period stock; Buffalo Creek and Garden Valley are where the newer subdivision building has gone, out toward Interstate 35E.

Period houses of that kind are the most demanding work in the county. Original wood floors, tall painted millwork, plaster, transom and sash windows, and stair balustrades all need treating on their own terms rather than with one product across the house, and the sills and glazing bars in old sash windows hold dust that a quick pass never reaches. A first deep clean before any routine is almost always the right order. The newer subdivisions to the east are conventional modern family homes and are scoped accordingly.
