House Cleaning in The Heights, Houston TX
Texas Nova Cleaning cleans historic bungalows, restored Victorians and new townhomes throughout The Heights and Woodland Heights in 77008.
The Heights is the oldest planned community in Houston and it still behaves like one. Houston Heights, Woodland Heights and Norhill were laid out in the 1890s and early 1900s, and the historic district ordinances mean owners here restore rather than demolish. Original longleaf pine floors, twelve-foot ceilings, picture rails, transom windows and deep wood baseboards are normal, not rare.
Around the edges of the historic district the picture is completely different. Along Yale, Studewood and the Heights Boulevard corridor, three-story townhomes have gone up on the old lots, with tile and engineered wood on the ground floor, carpet on the stairs, and rooftop decks.
Those two kinds of home need different work. A 1915 bungalow on pier-and-beam collects a fine grit under and around original floors that a quick clean pushes around rather than removes. A 2021 townhome needs three floors of stairs and hard flooring covered without the crew running out of day.
Texas Nova Cleaning is a local, family-run Houston cleaning company, and we clean both of them regularly.
Cleaning Prices in The Heights
House cleaning in The Heights starts at $259 for a 3-bed, 2-bath home between 2,000 and 2,499 square feet. Under 1,500 square feet starts at $199; 1,500 to 1,999 square feet starts at $229. A deep clean starts at $425. A restored Heights bungalow is usually smaller than its ceiling height suggests, so plenty of homes here land in the lower bands, while the newer three-story townhomes off Yale run larger.

Most Houston cleaning companies quote before tax and processing, so the number you are told is not the number you pay. Ours is the finished figure — everything is already inside it.
Every size is listed on our pricing page. Homes at or above 4,000 square feet, or with 5 or more bedrooms, are quoted individually rather than priced from a table — and we always give a price.
We accept Cash, Zelle, Venmo and Cash App. Payment is due when your cleaning is complete. No card and no deposit are required to book — we hold your slot on your confirmation.
Same price in every neighborhood we serve. Your price depends on your home, not your ZIP code.
What The Heights Homes Need
- Original pine floors and deep baseboards. Hundred-year-old floors have gaps, and grit settles into them. It needs to be lifted out, not swept across. The tall Victorian baseboards in these homes hold more dust than a modern square-edge trim.
- Pier-and-beam homes. Air moves under a raised Heights house in a way it does not under a slab. That puts more fine dust on floors, sills and the bottom of doors, and it is one reason a first Deep Cleaning here usually finds more than people expect.
- Transoms, picture rails and twelve-foot ceilings. There is simply more vertical surface in a Heights bungalow than in a modern house of the same footprint, and most of it never gets touched between deep cleans.
- Short-term rentals near 19th Street and White Oak. The Heights runs one of the busiest guest-stay markets inside the Loop. Airbnb Turnover Cleaning with linens changed, beds made and laundry done at the property is regular work for us here.
- Three-story townhome infill. Stairs, hard floor on every level and a rooftop deck. These are a Recurring Cleaning job more often than a one-off, because three floors get away from you fast.

The Heights Cleaning Questions, Answered
Do you clean original hardwood floors in a historic home?
Yes. We clean original wood floors with the right amount of moisture for the finish they actually have, which in a Heights bungalow is often an old penetrating finish rather than modern polyurethane. If a floor is bare, cupped or actively failing, we will say so rather than put water on it.
Can you do turnovers for my Heights short-term rental?
Yes. Our Airbnb turnover includes the clean, linens changed, beds made, laundry washed and dried at the property and the basics restocked. Taking linens off site is a flat add-on rather than a per-load charge.
My townhome is three floors. Does that cost more?
It is priced on the home, using square footage, bedrooms and bathrooms, the same as everywhere else. Three floors takes longer than one, and that is already inside the square-foot band rather than added as a surprise at the end.
We are mid-renovation. When should we book?
After the work is finished and the trades are out. Post-renovation dust keeps falling while anyone is still sanding or cutting, so a clean booked too early gets undone. We clean after construction is complete. We are not a restoration or remediation contractor.
Do you serve all of 77008?
Yes, all of it, including Houston Heights, Woodland Heights, Norhill, Sunset Heights and Brooke Smith.
