One-Time Service

Apartment Turnover Cleaning for Portland Property Managers

Unit turns and move-out cleaning across Portland metro, usually scheduled within 24 to 72 hours of your notice so the unit is back on the market instead of sitting empty.

What Is Apartment Turnover Cleaning?

The same job carries a different name on every work order we get. Apartment turnover cleaning, move-out cleaning, tenant turnover cleaning, a unit turn, a make-ready. It all means the deep clean between one occupant and the next, done to a standard that survives inspection.

Recurring cleaning maintains a space that someone lives in. A turn resets it. That means inside the oven and the fridge, inside cabinets and closets, behind the toilet, the window tracks, the baseboards, and every mark the last tenant left. We run turns on single units, whole apartment portfolios, and commercial office suites across Portland metro.

Timing Matters:

Every day a unit sits vacant costs money. Our team can typically complete turnover cleaning within 24-72 hours of notification, helping you get new tenants in faster.

Unit Turn Cleaning Services for Property Managers

Property managers are the people who actually buy this work, and they are not cleaning one apartment. They are running a make-ready calendar against notices to vacate, a paint vendor, a carpet vendor, and a lease start date that will not move. Our unit turn cleaning services are built to slot into that calendar instead of competing with it.

Send us the notice date and we hold the slot. We clean after the trades finish so drywall dust and paint overspray do not land on work you already paid for, then send completion photos at close-out so nobody has to drive across town to look at a vacant unit. Property turnover cleaning across a portfolio gets one invoice per property per cycle rather than a stack of one-off receipts your accounting team has to chase.

Most of the turn volume we see comes from buildings that have been standing for years, not from new lease-ups. The same properties turn the same unit types every season, which is exactly the pattern our turnover cleaning services are set up for: a standing crew that already knows your floor plans, your punch standard, and where the key box is.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you schedule a move-out cleaning?
We can typically schedule turnover cleaning within 24-72 hours of your request. For property managers with regular turnover volume, we offer priority scheduling so you can get units cleaned faster. Same-day service may be available depending on crew availability. Call us directly for urgent requests.
What's the difference between move-out cleaning and regular cleaning?
Move-out cleaning is a deep clean designed to restore a space to move-in ready condition. It covers areas that regular cleaning doesn't: inside appliances (oven, fridge, dishwasher), inside cabinets and closets, behind toilets, detailed baseboard cleaning, window sill and track cleaning, and removal of all previous occupant traces. It's significantly more thorough than a standard weekly or monthly clean.
Do you offer volume discounts for property managers?
Yes. Property managers with multiple units per month qualify for volume pricing. The more consistent your turnover volume, the better the rate we can offer. We also provide priority scheduling, dedicated crews familiar with your properties, and consolidated invoicing for multi-unit accounts. Contact us with your portfolio details for custom pricing.
Do you provide before and after photos?
Yes. We send completion photos after every turnover cleaning so you can verify the work without an in-person visit. If anything doesn't meet your standards, we'll send a crew back to address it at no additional charge. This is especially helpful for property managers overseeing units across multiple locations.
Can you handle both apartment and commercial office turnovers?
Yes. We clean residential apartments, commercial office suites, retail spaces, and mixed-use properties. The scope differs. Apartment turnovers focus on kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas, while office turnovers cover floor care, restrooms, and common areas. We adjust our checklist based on the property type and your specific requirements.
