Move-in and Move-out cleaning for Fredericksburg properties
Moving is stressful. Our goal is to remove cleaning from that list by handling the final, essential steps that prepare a property for handover or occupancy. We focus on visible results, adherence to lease and inspection expectations, and reliable scheduling.
What we do
We provide focused cleaning services for residential units and small rental properties in Fredericksburg, VA. Our team follows a step-by-step checklist that addresses kitchens, bathrooms, floors, windows, and detailed touchpoints such as baseboards and light fixtures. The service is suitable for landlords, tenants preparing for inspections, real estate agents staging a property, and homeowners between residences.
Core tasks
- Full kitchen deep clean — cabinets (exterior), countertops, sinks, appliances (interior of oven on request), and floors.
- Bathrooms — tile, grout attention where needed, fixtures, mirrors, under-sink areas, and ventilation covers.
- Floors — vacuuming, mopping, and edge cleaning for hardwood, laminate, tile, and linoleum.
- Dusting — ceilings, fans, vents, baseboards, window sills, and accessible blinds.
- Interior windows and glass — streak-free finish on reachable panes and glass doors.
- Trash removal and sweep-out of porches or balconies when present.
How we approach inspections
We align our work with common lease inspection checklists to reduce the likelihood of deductions from security deposits. Before leaving a property, the team runs through a quality checklist and documents completion to assist clients during move-out walkthroughs.
Optional add-ons
- Inside-oven cleaning
- Refrigerator interior wipe-out
- Carpet steam cleaning (partner service; scheduled separately)
- Exterior porch and entry pressure rinse (limited scope)
Pricing and estimates
We provide estimates based on unit size, condition, and requested add-ons. Standard move-out services are priced per-bedroom plus a base fee for kitchens and bathrooms. For accurate pricing we recommend an inspection or photographic assessment — this helps avoid unexpected charges and ensures the scope matches expectations.
What to expect on the day
Our crew arrives with equipment and supplies, confirms access and any special notes, completes the job according to the pre-agreed scope, and performs a final walkthrough with the client when possible. We supply receipts and a signed checklist. If you need documentation for a landlord or property manager, we can provide a written completion report.
Guarantee
We address missed items reported within 48 hours of service. The team will return to resolve legitimate issues in line with the agreed scope; additional services outside the original agreement will be quoted separately.
Service area and permits
Services are offered across Fredericksburg and nearby neighborhoods. Our staff carry ID and proof of insurance for any community or complex access requirements.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to be present during cleaning?
- Not necessarily. Many clients provide access instructions and complete billing and walkthrough afterward. If you prefer to be present, we are happy to coordinate a time for a joint walkthrough.
- How long does a typical job take?
- Duration depends on size and condition. A one-bedroom unit typically takes 2–3 hours; larger units and those needing deep cleaning take longer. We provide an estimated arrival and completion window when booking.
- What supplies do you use?
- Our teams use professional-grade cleaning supplies suitable for residential use. If a property requires specialty chemicals or stain removers, we will note that in the estimate and discuss any additional cost.
- Can you provide a receipt for a security deposit inspection?
- Yes. We provide a service receipt and can include a completed checklist to support your walkthrough with the landlord or property manager.
How to prepare
To streamline service, remove personal items and perishables, snap photos of valuable items if needed, and let us know of access instructions. If occupants are still present, plan for a safe working path and clear pet arrangements.
