Apartment move-in cleaning
Nobody wants to unpack into someone else's dirt. A move-in clean is the same scope as a move-out, done before your furniture arrives rather than after it leaves.
Move-in cleaning for a apartment covers appliance interiors, inside every cabinet, bathrooms, baseboards and floors before you move anything in. It takes about the same time as a move-out clean and starts at $200.
Typically 3 to 4 hours for a small one-bed, 4 to 6 for a two-bedroom. From $200.
What is different about a apartment
- Managed buildings inspect against a standard form, so the scope is knowable in advance
- Turnover deadlines are tight, often a single day between tenants
- Shared laundry means no appliance hookups to clean around, which saves time
- Balcony or patio is usually on the lease and usually forgotten
- Corridor-facing door and frame get seen by everyone, including the inspector
On the inspection
The oven decides it
In a managed building the inspector has done this a hundred times and opens the oven first. It is the fastest read on whether the rest was done properly.
Cabinet interiors, all of them
Apartment kitchens are small enough that every cabinet gets opened. Vacuum the corners before wiping or crumbs turn to paste.
The balcony counts
If the lease lists a balcony or patio, it is part of the unit. Sweep it, wipe the railing, and take everything off it.
The scope
Same list on every job. There is no tier where the oven costs extra.
