Everything Here Was Built From an Approved List
The Van Sweringen brothers bought the land in 1905 and sold the houses their company built under strict zoning, tight design guidelines and exacting deed restrictions it enforced itself. About three-quarters of the city is now the Shaker Village Historic District on the National Register. Little on these lots was the owner's choice: the brick, the stucco, the sandstone steps and the stone terraces were specified before the first owner arrived, and four can meet at one front step.
The City Tells You How to Check Our Work
The Architectural Board of Review's guidelines say distinctive roofs - slate, copper, clay tile, wood shake - "shall be repaired and maintained whenever possible." The city also tells owners how to check one: binoculars, fall and spring, looking for loose, cracked or missing slates. Run that check after anyone cleans your roof. A roof wash uses no pressure, and the sandstone under it none either.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why soft wash a historic Shaker Heights house instead of pressure washing it?
Because the materials will not take it. Old mortar, soft sandstone, stucco and slate are damaged permanently by a wand, and the damage does not show until the next freeze. A brick and stone soft wash applies a professional-grade cleaner at low pressure and rinses it away, and the same method is what makes a roof wash safe on slate and shingle.
Can I see other work on this side of town?
Yes. Recent jobs on the east side are posted with their before-and-after photographs, and our story explains the standard each one is held to.
