Move-Out Cleaning in Raleigh, NC
Empty-home cleans for Raleigh apartments, townhomes and houses, scoped around your landlord's inspection or your buyer's final walk-through.
Built for the inspection, not the listing photos.
Whether you're leaving a rental near NC State, handing over a North Hills condo or closing on a house in Brier Creek, the last clean is the one someone checks with a clipboard. A move-out clean isn't a bigger version of a weekly visit. The home is empty, so we can reach every surface a property manager or buyer will look at: inside cabinets and drawers, inside the oven and fridge, behind appliances we can safely move, and every baseboard and door frame.
Our crew works from the same room-by-room checklist Raleigh landlords and property managers use, photographs every room before and after, and leaves you a dated receipt you can hand over with the keys.
What a Raleigh move-out clean covers.
The scope is the same for a one-bedroom on Avent Ferry Road or a five-bedroom house in North Raleigh. Only the time on site changes.

Raleigh moves run on a calendar.
Much of Raleigh's rental market follows the school year. Leases near NC State, Hillsborough Street, Avent Ferry and Gorman Street tend to turn over in late spring and again in summer, and the same weeks get busy for apartments downtown and in Glenwood South. If your lease ends in May, June or August, book your move-out clean as soon as you know your moving date so you get the slot right after the truck leaves.
Selling or buying? We time the clean between the movers and the final walk-through. If you're buying, a move-in clean before your furniture arrives is the easiest chance you'll ever get to clean inside every cabinet and closet you'll use for years.
Renting? We clean to the inspection checklist.
Most Raleigh leases require the unit to be returned clean. Our renter move-out follows what landlords and property managers look at during the inspection, room by room, and we photograph every room and leave you a dated receipt as proof of a professional clean.
Many leases also ask for a receipt for professional carpet cleaning, so we can add hot-water extraction on the same day. The full renter checklist is in the renters section of our move-in and move-out cleaning page.

What does a Raleigh move-out clean include?
Inside every cabinet, drawer and appliance, descaled showers and tile, hand-wiped baseboards, doors and switches, and up to 9 interior windows. Our checklist follows what landlords and property managers inspect.
Do I need to be there during the clean?
No. Most Raleigh clients leave a key, a lockbox code or a smart-lock code. We send before-and-after photos of every room when we finish.
How far ahead should I book around NC State move-out season?
As soon as you know your moving date. Late spring and summer weeks near NC State and downtown fill up first, and booking early lets us schedule the clean for the day after your movers leave.
Is carpet cleaning included?
It's an add-on, because many Raleigh leases ask for a professional receipt for it. We can do hot-water extraction on the same day and give you the receipt.

One flat price. No hourly billing. No hidden fees.
Every quote we send is a flat rate for the job — not an estimate, not a starting point. If our team takes longer than planned, the price doesn't change. Ever.
Never per-hour
We quote the job, not the clock. If a clean takes longer than we expected, that's on us — your price doesn't move.
No hidden fees
No trip charges, no fuel fees, no supply fees, no weekend surcharges. The number we quote is the number you pay.
No surprise charges
Pricing only changes if you ask for an add-on at booking — or if conditions on arrival aren't what was disclosed (heavy pet hair, post-renovation dust, hoarding). We'll always call before we charge.
