Two straightforward pricing tiers offered:
Standard and Heavy-Duty Turnover Cleaning.
Standard / Heavy-Duty pricing is designed to reduce excessive add-ons and avoid fragmented line-item pricing. Heavy-Duty applies when a unit materially exceeds ordinary turnover conditions, such as multiple severely impacted areas, neglected appliances, heavy grease, heavy bathroom buildup, excessive pet hair, strong odors, or major restoration-level cleaning needs.
Separately billed:
- Biohazard conditions involving bodily fluids, human or animal waste, needles, or other hazardous contamination
- post-construction
- interior windows cleaning

Understanding of Multifamily Operations
Service is structured around real turnover operations - including maintenance coordination, punch timelines, vendor access procedures, inspection sequencing, and rent-ready expectations - rather than residential housekeeping assumptions.
Capability to Handle Severe Turnovers
Heavily impacted units involving grease buildup, neglected appliances, pet contamination, excessive residue, or difficult restoration conditions can be addressed using mechanized cleaning systems and restoration-oriented workflows.
Structured Pricing Without Excessive Fragmented Charges
A simplified Standard / Heavy-Duty pricing structure minimizes administrative friction, invoice disputes, and unpredictable line-item pricing while still accounting for legitimately severe unit conditions.
Reliable Scheduling & Responsive Communication
Turnover schedules change constantly. Service coordination is structured around leasing timelines, maintenance completion, inspections, and last-minute operational changes with responsive communication throughout the process.
Inspection-Ready Cleaning Standards
Services are performed with a focus on walkthrough readiness, detail consistency, and reduction of common turnover failures such as appliance residue, dust accumulation, missed interiors, and bathroom detailing issues.
Building-Specific & Unit-Specific Checklists
Every property operates differently. Customized cleaning checklists are developed around building standards, recurring problem areas, management expectations, and unit layouts to reduce missed items, inconsistent quality, and re-cleans.
