The deposit angle

Built for the final walkthrough

When a Richmond landlord or property manager does the move-out inspection, they’re working a checklist: appliances inside and out, cabinets, baths, baseboards, floors. Cleaning charges are one of the most common deductions on itemized deposit statements — and the easiest one to prevent.

Our crews clean empty (or nearly empty) homes to that inspection standard, then send time-stamped after-photos. You leave with proof of the condition you handed back — useful whether your deposit conversation is with a private landlord or a property management company.

Doing a first pass yourself? Start with our free room-by-room Richmond move-out cleaning checklist — it’s the same list our crews work from.

Moving in, not out?

Move-in cleans: same standard, better timing

The week before your boxes arrive is the only time your new home is truly empty — the easiest week it will ever be to get the fridge, oven, cabinets, and baths genuinely clean. A move-in clean is the same walkthrough-standard scope, pointed at your next address.

Once you’re settled, most customers roll into a recurring house cleaning plan so the new place never needs a rescue clean.

Questions, answered

How much does move-out cleaning cost in Richmond, VA?

How much does move-out cleaning cost in Richmond, VA?

Move-out cleaning in Richmond starts at $359, and your exact price depends only on scope: square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, and condition. An empty home is faster to clean than a furnished one, and that shows up in the price. The instant quote gives you a real number in about 60 seconds — no walkthrough call needed.

Will a move-out clean get my security deposit back?

Cleaning is one of the most common deposit deductions in Virginia, and it’s the one we can take off the table. We clean to landlord- and property-manager-walkthrough standard and send time-stamped after-photos as proof of the condition you left. No company can honestly guarantee the whole deposit — damage and lease terms are between you and your landlord — but if a cleaning item gets flagged, we come back and reclean it free.

What’s included in a move-out clean?

Everything a walkthrough checks: inside the fridge and oven, inside cabinets and drawers, closets and shelves, baseboards, doors, switch plates, full bathroom descale, and floors throughout — finished with after-photos. Interior windows and garage or basement sweep-outs can be added when you book.

Do you also do move-in cleaning?

Yes — same clean, opposite direction. A move-in clean gets the fridge, oven, cabinets, baths, and floors truly clean before your boxes arrive, which is the one week it’s easiest to do. It’s the same walkthrough-standard scope, priced the same way.

Do I need to be there during the clean?

No — most move-out customers hand off access and get on-the-way texts plus after-photos when we’re done. That matters when you’re already at the new place. Just have the power and water still on so we can run equipment and hot water.

How far ahead should I book a move-out clean?

A week or two is comfortable. End-of-month lease turnovers are the crunch — in Richmond most leases end then, so those dates fill first. Booking right after you give notice locks the slot; Virginia landlords then have 45 days after move-out to return your deposit with any deductions itemized.
