What is turnover cleaning?

Turnover cleaning is the full cleaning of a rental unit between one tenant moving out and the next moving in. It covers the inside of appliances and cabinets, bathrooms, floors, walls and fixtures, so the unit passes inspection and is ready to show, list or hand over.

For property managers

  • Rental unit turnovers and make-ready
  • Move out cleaning between tenants
  • Vacant unit cleaning before showings
  • Apartment common areas and hallways
  • Leasing office cleaning
  • Carpet cleaning, paint touch-ups and repairs
  • Hauling of items left behind
  • Windows and pressure washing for the property

For realtors and sellers

  • Deep cleaning before listing photos
  • Pre-showing and open house cleaning
  • Vacant home cleaning after the sellers move
  • Move in cleaning as a closing gift for buyers
  • Window cleaning for brighter photos

  • Small repairs from the inspection list
  • Post construction cleaning on new builds and flips

Why use one vendor for turnovers?

A turnover moves faster when one company handles the cleaning, carpets, paint touch-ups, small repairs and hauling. You make one call, approve one quote and get one invoice, instead of waiting on four vendors to line up their schedules.

  1. Send the unit. Address, size, move out date and any notes or photos.
  2. Quote and schedule. We confirm the scope, add carpets, paint or repairs if needed, and lock in a date.
  3. Clean and fix. Cleaning, touch-ups and small repairs are done in one trip when possible.
  4. Ready to rent or list. You get a clean unit, ready for the walkthrough, photos or the next tenant.
