Overview
A fresh start in Jamaica Plain, with the right products
Jamaica Plain move-ins are mostly triple-decker floors and Victorians, and both hide a lot inside their storage. Rear kitchens have cabinets with years of grease on the shelves. Pantries and back halls have not been wiped since the last tenant. Closets in Victorians run deep and dark. A move-in clean is the one chance to reset all of it while the unit is empty, and our teams work front to back through the long triple-decker layout so nothing is missed.
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 dry-mopped and damp-passed edge to edge. Ornate trim in Victorians is dusted into the grooves. Radiator fins are dusted by hand. JP residents often ask for our plant-based, fragrance-free product line, and it is available for the whole move-in clean at no extra charge.
Timing follows the first-of-month and September 1 rental cycle. Many JP landlords live in the building and hand keys over directly; others use lockboxes. Same-day handoffs between a departing tenant and arriving movers are common and we schedule around them. A two-bedroom floor takes our team about three and a half hours. Pricing is quoted by unit 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 Jamaica Plain
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
“Monthly visits fit our budget and our schedule. They send a reminder the day before, arrive within the window, and text when they finish. Zero friction.”
“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.”
