Move-out &turnover cleaningin Los Angeles

A turnover is a deadline, not a cleaning job

The clean itself is rarely the hard part. The hard part is that it sits between a tenant moving out and the next one moving in, often with paint, carpet or a repair scheduled in the same window. Being a day late costs more than the clean.

So the first question we ask is not how big the unit is. It is what else is happening in the unit and when the next tenant has keys.

The details that matter at handoff

Ovens, refrigerator seals and drawers, cabinet interiors, window tracks and baseboards need explicit attention. Your written scope confirms which tasks are included for the unit’s condition.

Preparing for the next occupant

Before move-in, confirm appliance interiors, cabinets, drawers, fixtures and floors are covered in the agreed scope. Coordinate the clean after repairs and before furniture arrives.

Working with property managers

If you are turning units regularly, the useful arrangement is a standing scope and a per-unit-type price, so you are not re-quoting a one-bedroom every time one comes empty. We would rather agree that once and then just take the date.

Before a listing

A pre-listing clean is judged by a camera, which is less forgiving than a person. Glass, floors, and the absence of anything shiny reflecting a light fixture matter more than they normally would. Tell us it is for photography and we will sequence it that way.
