Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning

A move-out clean is graded by somebody else -- a landlord, a property manager, a buyer with a checklist, a title company's final walkthrough. That makes it a different job from cleaning your own home, where you set the standard.

We clean the empty house end to end: inside every cabinet, drawer and closet, inside the oven and refrigerator, all appliances inside and out, bathrooms scrubbed including grout and fixture spotting, all interior glass, screens, blinds, window and door tracks, vents and returns, baseboards, trim, doors and frames, then floors last. Furniture marks, wall scuffs and the dust lines above where pictures hung all get attention, because those are exactly what a walkthrough finds.

A move-in clean is about not inheriting somebody else's house -- or, in this metro, not inheriting a builder's. Even a property cleaned before closing has usually sat empty for weeks afterwards, and in a dry, dusty climate an empty house keeps collecting dust the entire time.

We clean before your furniture goes in, which is the only time some of it is reachable. Cabinets and closets get wiped inside so your things go into clean space rather than onto somebody else's crumbs. Bathrooms and the kitchen get sanitized properly. Tracks, sills, screens and vent covers get cleared, which matters more in a new build than people expect -- construction dust sits in exactly those places and comes back out every time the air handler runs. Floors are done last, and then the house is yours rather than the last owner's.

A large share of the people moving into this metro are moving from a long way away, and a long-distance move has a particular shape: the truck arrives on a fixed day, the keys change hands on another, and there is a narrow window between the two when the house is empty and reachable.

That window is what we build around. Tell us the closing or handover date and the day the truck is due, and we will schedule the clean into the gap so you are not unpacking around us. If you are still living somewhere else and cannot be at the property, that is normal for us here -- we work with agents, property managers and family members holding a key, and we will send you a plain account of what we found when we are done.
