What is not included by default
Move-in and move-out cleaning is not a replacement for repairs, hauling, restoration, pest treatment, or construction cleanup unless specifically quoted. Ask during your quote if you need heavy trash removal, exterior windows, paint/repair cleanup, extreme grime, hoarding, biohazards, post-construction cleaning, carpet cleaning add-ons, specialty floor care, or garage cleaning.
Important move-out requirements
Utilities must be working. The team needs access to electricity and water to complete the service properly. The best time to schedule move-out cleaning is after movers have removed belongings and before your final walkthrough, listing photos, or key handoff.
Deposit and walkthrough expectations
A professional move-out cleaning can help you leave a cleaner property, but no cleaning company can guarantee a security deposit return. Deposit decisions are controlled by landlords, property managers, lease terms, damages, and other conditions outside the cleaning scope.
Pricing factors
Move-in and move-out cleaning pricing depends on square footage, bedrooms and bathrooms, empty vs. furnished condition, current buildup, appliance and cabinet needs, deadline, arrival window, and add-ons.
