Overview
Leave a Back Bay unit the way the inspection expects
Back Bay rents are among the highest in the city, which means security deposits are too, and landlords and management companies here inspect vacated units with care. Cabinet shelves. Grout in the hex-tile bathroom. The parquet along the wall where the bed stood. Window sills facing the Mall. Our move-out clean follows a checklist that mirrors those inspection items and photographs each finished room so you have a record if a dispute arises.
The service is a deep clean plus every interior: cabinets and drawers washed, closet shelves and rods wiped, bathrooms scrubbed to the grout, and parquet dry-mopped and damp-passed edge to edge. Marble and plaster get the gentle treatment Back Bay finishes require. In full-service buildings, our coordinators deliver insurance certificates and book the freight elevator so the visit fits the building's move-out rules.
We recommend cleaning the day before your final walkthrough, after belongings are out, which leaves room for a touch-up if the landlord flags anything. Key return can be handled through the concierge, a lockbox, or the management office if you have already left. September 1 and first-of-month dates fill weeks ahead. A two-bedroom takes our team about four 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-out clean in Back Bay
The day before the walkthrough
Belongings out, a full day of buffer. Best result, and room to address anything the landlord flags.
Lease ending August 31 or September 1
Boston's turnover crush. We hold capacity but slots fill weeks ahead, so reserve as soon as the date is set.
Landlord or manager turnover
A vacated unit that needs to be showing-ready fast. We handle keys and send a photo summary when finished.
Sublet or roommate handoff
Handing a room or unit to someone new mid-lease. A clean handoff keeps the relationship clean too.

Reviews
What neighbors say after the first visit
“Fourth-floor walk-up on Marlborough Street. They brought everything up themselves, cleaned the whole unit in ninety minutes, and left the hardwood streak-free.”
“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.”
