House move-out cleaning
A rental house is the biggest version of this job, and the one where the extra spaces cost people the most.
House move-out cleaning covers more square footage, more windows, and usually a garage or basement the lease still counts as part of the property. Most rental houses take six to nine hours and start around $450.
Typically 6 to 9 hours. From $450.
What is different about a house
- Considerably more window glass, sills and tracks
- A garage, usually with an oil-stained floor
- A basement, finished or not, that is part of the lease
- Full-size laundry with hookups behind the machines
- Exterior entry, porch and sometimes a shed
On the inspection
Windows are the hidden hours
A house can have three times the glass of an apartment. Sills and tracks are the part that takes the time, not the panes.
The garage is on the lease
Empty it completely. Anything left becomes a haul-away charge billed by the load.
Yard and exterior
Check whether the lease makes the yard your responsibility. If it does, the handover standard usually includes it being cut and clear.
