South County Fresh Start service
Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning in South County St. Louis
Fresh Start supports eligible South County property transitions when the home is completely empty and utilities remain on. It creates access to storage, appliances, trim, rooms, and floors that cannot be fully addressed around furniture and boxes.
Each quote is based on the actual property, condition, remaining appliances, storage, access, and required timing.
Practical guidance
Plan a South County property transition
The service area includes different property types across Affton, Mehlville, Oakville, Lemay, Concord, and nearby communities, from compact homes to larger multi-level layouts.
Garage entry, basements, multiple bathrooms, larger kitchens, pet residue, yard debris, and the number of empty storage spaces can materially change the work.
Practical guidance
Separate cleaning from moving and repair work
Fresh Start begins after belongings and trash are removed and after dusty repairs are completed. The team then follows the confirmed vacant-home cleaning scope.
Hauling, repair, painting, active construction, hazardous cleanup, mold remediation, and carpet extraction are outside ordinary residential cleaning.
Practical guidance
Confirm every access detail
Provide the exact address, utilities, keys or codes, parking, alarms, appliance status, deadline, and authorized contact before arrival.
When a closing, lease, or move-in date is involved, allow enough time for cleaning and the client’s own inspection.
