- Let us know if the house will be empty, partly furnished or lived in, and give the size, bathrooms, stairs and any finished lower-level rooms to include.
- Aim for an empty or almost empty house with water and electricity on, so every surface on the list is within reach. Where boxes stand, we clean around them, without moving them or cleaning below them. Tell us who will let the crew in and note any parking, driveway or loading limits. Codes are shared privately and never typed into the quote request.
- Kitchen counters, the sink, stovetop and appliance fronts follow the checklist. Name any oven, fridge, cabinet, drawer or storage interior separately so it is priced as an add-on.
- Bathrooms, dusting within reach, baseboards, inside windowsills, fans we can reach and the floors follow your checklist. The condition and material of each surface can limit what cleaning achieves.
- Porches, garages, screens and the spaces behind or beneath big appliances are outside the standard move-in quote. Describe what you need and we will tell you if it can be added and the cost.

Move-in planning range
Plan on roughly $260 to $900+ (1-bedroom $260–$380 up to $540–$900+ for a 4+ bedroom house) for most houses, a guide for budgeting rather than a ceiling.
Your key date holds it
Your key day reserves the crew; a closing date on its own will not.
Condo move-ins
A condo is no problem once the building's entry and parking rules reach us.

Inside cabinets and appliances
Interiors are quoted as an extra, even in an empty home.

Questions about Move-In Cleaning in Convent Station
What will a Convent Station move-in clean cost?
Every move-in is quoted house by house. For budgeting, our pricing guide shows $260–$900+ (1-bedroom $260–$380 up to $540–$900+ for a 4+ bedroom house) as a typical range, which is neither a fixed quote nor a limit. Your figure depends on the size, bathrooms, condition, the rooms we can reach and any add-ons, all agreed before booking. Appliance, cabinet and storage interiors are extra, and an empty house does not include them by default.
What does the crew clean before I move into Convent Station?
The checklist on this page: kitchen counters and appliance fronts, bathrooms, dusting within reach, baseboards, inside windowsills, fans we can reach, floors, the most-touched surfaces and trash. The rooms and tasks in your quote set the visit. Your new, empty rooms are photographed only if you ask before the clean.
How should the move-in clean line up with closing and moving day?
Ask for a date once you are allowed into the house and entry is confirmed, ideally before furniture and boxes come in. Share the key handover and movers' dates so we can check our weekdays and allow for the quoted work. The date is confirmed with you; a scheduled closing does not secure it.
Does the new house need to be completely bare?
An empty or mostly empty house makes surfaces far easier to reach. If furniture, boxes or people will still be there, tell us before booking so we can judge entry and agree the work. Shifting belongings or big appliances falls outside a household clean.
Is the inside of the oven, fridge, cabinets or drawers part of the move-in clean?
No. Interiors of appliances, cabinets, drawers or storage are an add-on with a charge, even in an empty house. List the ones you want and agree the date, preparation, tasks and price before booking.
Does the move-in clean reach the basement, garage, porch or screens?
Name the finished basement rooms and floors you want quoted. Garages, porches, screens and other spaces beyond the household list here are not included by default. Describe those requests so we can confirm dates and price instead of treating them as standard.
What should I share about unfinished work or entry at the new place?
Mention any painting or renovation still in progress, how the rooms look, parking and entry, and whether water and power will be on. A standard move-in visit leaves out construction debris and any specialist cleanup. Should the work or the entry arrangements change, let us know so the plan and dates can be rechecked.
What should I tell you before my Convent Station move-in?
The key date, the address, whether water and power are on, and when the furniture is due. Condo buildings are no obstacle; just pass along how the crew gets in and where it parks. If painters or floor work leave dust, that visit becomes a post-renovation clean.
Who cleans my new Convent Station home, and what is extra?
Daniela Marque together with her regular crew; no subcontractors are sent. Any checklist item we miss gets a free redo once reported inside 24 hours. A $20-per-bedroom bed-linen change is available on request; laundry and mudroom areas get light cleanup only, and we do not wash dishes or wash, dry or fold clothes.
Does my closing date reserve a Convent Station move-in clean?
No. The date you receive the keys holds the slot, so send it as soon as you know it.
Do you clean Convent Station condos before move-in?
Yes. Send the building's entry and parking rules with the unit number.
What if painters leave dust in my new Convent Station home?
Paint or floor dust makes it a post-renovation clean, quoted on its own terms.
Will the crew wait if my moving truck is late in Convent Station?
Following a delayed truck is not something we promise; the agreed window stays as booked.
