Merced · turnovers & end-of-lease
Merced is the county's biggest rental market — roughly 46% of Merced County households rent — and that shapes the work. Most of what we do in Merced is a turnover: a lease ending, a unit being flipped for the next tenant, or a deposit on the line. Flat rates from $260, and no travel fee inside Merced.
Who books us in Merced
A move-out clean isn't a nicer standard clean. It's a different job with a different target: an empty unit that has to survive someone walking through it with a clipboard. Almost everyone who calls us in Merced falls into one of these.
Deposit on the line
The truck is loaded, the walkthrough is scheduled, and the unit looks worse empty than it ever did furnished. We clean the things a deposit actually gets held over — inside cabinets, inside the oven, the fridge, the closet shelving, the window tracks.
Every day empty costs money
You have a gap between one tenant leaving and the next signing, and the clean is on the critical path with the paint and the carpet. We quote from photos so you're not waiting on a site visit to plan the week.
Lease cycles, not calendars
Students and university staff shift between houses and apartments on the academic cycle, often out of town on the day the unit has to be handed back. We can clean an empty unit with nobody there and send you photos when it's finished.
Timing that actually works: book the clean for after the last load is out and before the walkthrough — an empty unit is the only way a move-out clean gets done properly. If furniture is still in the way of the cabinets and the fridge, those items come off the scope, and we'd rather tell you that now than at the door.
Merced pricing
One flat number for the whole unit, quoted in writing and confirmed before we start. Merced is in our home zone, so nothing is added for travel.
Scroll the table sideways on a phone.
| Unit size | Move-out / move-in | Deep clean (still furnished) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 bed / 1 bath | $260 | $210 |
| 2 bed / 1 bath | $300 | $245 |
| 2 bed / 2 bath | $330 | $270 |
| 3 bed / 2 bath Most common | $375 | $305 |
| 4 bed / 2 bath | $440 | $360 |
| 4 bed / 3 bath | $490 | $400 |
| 5 bed / 3+ bath | $570 | $465 |
Move-out pricing assumes the unit is empty. If you still live there and want the reset without moving out, that's a deep clean — the second column. Over $250 we ask for a quick walkthrough or photos first, then confirm the exact number before any work starts. Hard-water treatment on the showers is part of that deep clean, and on Merced turnovers it's usually the difference between a bathroom that looks cleaned and one that doesn't.
The walkthrough
Nobody gets a deposit held back over a dusty coffee table. Deductions come from a short, boringly predictable list — the places people forget because they were never visible while the furniture was in. This is the list our move-out scope is built around.
Be realistic with your landlord about the line between cleaning and repair. We don't patch nail holes, touch up paint, repair drywall, replace blinds, shampoo or extract carpet stains, clean exterior windows, or handle mold remediation, biohazard or hoarding conditions. If your unit needs any of that, get it scheduled separately — a clean makes a dirty unit clean, it doesn't make a damaged unit undamaged. Our policies page spells out the boundary.
For landlords & property managers
Managing rentals in Merced means the same job over and over on unpredictable dates. What usually goes wrong isn't the quality of the clean — it's the coordination: chasing a quote, waiting on a site visit, discovering the scope was different from what you assumed. Here's how we take that off your plate.

$110 minimum on one-time visits. Your first clean has to be a deep clean, or a standard clean at the standard rate plus 50% — recurring pricing assumes we've already cleared the backlog once.
