Overview
Move into Charlestown with nothing left behind
Charlestown move-ins are either waterfront condos or hillside townhouses, and each has its own logistics. Navy Yard buildings require insurance certificates, freight elevator reservations, and concierge coordination, all of which our team arranges before the visit. Townhouses on the hill have steep stairs, permit parking, and floor after floor of closets and cabinets that have not been emptied in years. Our move-in clean handles both while the home is still empty.
The service is a deep clean plus every interior: cabinets and drawers washed, closet shelves and rods wiped, bathrooms scrubbed to the grout, and floors done edge to edge. In the Navy Yard, harbor-facing glass is finished streak-free and stone counters get pH-neutral care. On the hill, exposed brick is dusted, pine floors are dry-mopped and damp-passed, and high mouldings are reached with extension tools.
Timing follows closings and lease starts. Buyers book for the day after closing; renters book between a departing tenant and their own movers. We collect keys from concierges, agents, and lockboxes. First-of-month dates fill early. A two-bedroom condo takes our team about four hours; a townhouse takes most of a day. Pricing is quoted by home size and condition and includes cabinet and closet interiors; oven and fridge interiors are optional add-ons.

When to book
Timing a move-in clean in Charlestown
Between keys and the moving truck
The ideal slot. We clean the empty unit in the morning and your movers arrive after. We coordinate with agents and managers to make it work.
After a landlord turnover clean
Many turnover cleans are a quick wipe. If the cabinet shelves and closets were skipped, we finish before you fill them, and the oven and fridge can be added.
New construction or renovation
Contractors leave fine dust in every cabinet. A move-in clean after the punch list keeps it off your dishes.
After closing on a purchase
Book for the day after closing and move in the following weekend to a home that feels like yours.

Reviews
What neighbors say after the first visit
“After a kitchen gut renovation there was fine dust on every surface in the house. Two visits, one rough and one final, and the dust was genuinely gone, including inside the light fixtures.”
“Two people arrive every other Thursday, work through the whole house in about two hours, and the kitchen looks the way it did the day we moved in. I have stopped thinking about cleaning entirely.”
“My building has strict elevator rules and they handled the check-in with the concierge without me being there. Floor-to-ceiling windows spotless, no streaks. That alone was worth it.”
