Overview
Ending a Somerville lease on the busiest day of the year
Somerville leases end in a wave around September 1, and landlords who manage several units move through walkthroughs quickly and with a checklist. Cabinet shelves in the rear kitchen. The cast-iron tub and its grout. Radiator fins. Closet shelves. The hardwood along the hallway wall. Our move-out clean mirrors that list, works front to back through the long triple-decker layout, and photographs each finished room for your records.
The service is a deep clean plus every interior: cabinets and drawers washed inside and out, closet shelves and rods wiped, the tub and tile scrubbed to the grout, and hardwood dry-mopped and damp-passed edge to edge. Shared apartments get the common kitchen and bathroom reset for the whole household. Assembly Row and Green Line Extension condos get streak-free glass and stone care after our coordinators handle building paperwork.
We hold September 1 capacity weeks in advance and recommend booking three weeks ahead. Clean the day before the walkthrough if the schedule allows. Key return is handled through landlords, leasing offices, and lockboxes, and roommates can split the cost however they like. 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-out clean in Somerville
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
“Left a triple-decker apartment after four years. The landlord walked through, opened the oven, checked the tub, and handed back the full deposit on the spot.”
“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.”
