About the Meyer May House and Heritage Hill
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1908 and completed in 1909 for local businessman Meyer May, the Meyer May House is a prime example of Prairie School architecture. Steelcase acquired and meticulously restored the home, and today it’s open to the public for tours that highlight both the architecture and the restoration work.
The house sits in Heritage Hill, one of the oldest residential neighborhoods in Grand Rapids, known for its tree‑lined streets and historic homes. It’s a neighborhood where curb appeal and careful maintenance make a big difference in how properties look and feel.
How Grand Rapids’ Historic Neighborhoods Affect Home Maintenance
Living near the Meyer May House and in older Grand Rapids neighborhoods brings a few additional cleaning and maintenance considerations:
Mature trees that drop leaves, pollen, and debris onto roofs, gutters, and walkways
Older siding, trim, and masonry that benefit from gentle, appropriate cleaning methods
Windows with character details that need hand cleaning rather than quick, high‑pressure approaches
Interior carpets and upholstery that see steady use in high‑traffic historic homes
Top Care Cleaning works across the Grand Rapids metro to help homeowners manage these issues with exterior and interior services that respect the character of each property.
House Washing and Exterior Cleaning in Grand Rapids
Historic and older homes around Heritage Hill and similar neighborhoods often have siding, trim, and surfaces that need a softer touch. Using the right house washing approach can remove dirt, algae, and mildew while protecting paint and materials.
If you’d like to see how we handle exterior cleaning in the city, you can read more about our methods on the
house washing and pressure washing page. We outline how we use soft washing for siding and targeted pressure washing for concrete and other hard surfaces across Grand Rapids.

house washing and pressure washing service page shares additional details.
Window Cleaning for Historic and Modern Homes
Windows are a key architectural feature in homes near the Meyer May House, whether they are original leaded glass or modern replacements. Over time, city dust, pollen, and weather can leave a film on glass that dulls natural light and hides details.
Top Care Cleaning has specialized in
window cleaning in Grand Rapids since 1980. On that page, we explain how we hand‑clean windows, work with ladders instead of long poles, and care for frames and screens in homes throughout the city.

Carpet Cleaning for Grand Rapids Households
Inside the home, carpets and rugs in living rooms, hallways, and stairs see daily traffic from family, guests, and pets. In older homes with narrow halls and staircases, that wear can show up quickly as darkened paths and stubborn spots.
Our
Grand Rapids carpet cleaning service focuses on deep cleaning and stain removal using truck‑mounted steam extraction. The page explains how we inspect, pretreat, and clean carpets to help restore their appearance.

Gutter Cleaning for Tree‑Filled Streets
Heritage Hill and nearby Grand Rapids neighborhoods have many mature trees, which are beautiful but tough on gutters. Leaves and small branches can clog downspouts, causing water to spill over and potentially affect foundations, landscaping, and walkways.
To see how we handle this type of work in the city, you can visit our
Grand Rapids gutter cleaning page. For additional detail about our roof and gutter work around the metro, we also maintain the
Grand Rapids Gutter Cleaning Service site.
Upholstery and Other Interior Cleaning
Furniture in historic and traditional homes often includes upholstered pieces that have been in use for many years. Sofas, chairs, and other fabric items pick up body oils, dust, and occasional spills, especially in homes that host guests frequently or have active families.
Top Care Cleaning offers upholstery cleaning across Grand Rapids; you can see how we handle these projects on our
upholstery cleaning page. For kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways, our
tile and grout cleaning page explains how we remove buildup that regular mopping doesn’t reach.
