Courthouse’s mix of condo towers and rowhouses means move-in and move-out cleanings here look different depending on the building. Tower units near the Arlington County Courthouse often turn over through a leasing office with a specific move-out checklist and a freight elevator reservation window, while the rowhouses off Clarendon Boulevard come with older trim, more corners, and sometimes a basement that needs the same attention as the rest of the home. We handle both regularly and plan the visit around whichever type of home it is.
What’s Included in a Courthouse Move-In/Move-Out Clean
A move-in or move-out clean goes deeper than a standard visit, covering the full unit top to bottom:
- Inside cabinets, closets, and drawers. Empty and wiped down inside and out, not just the fronts.
- Appliance interiors. Oven, refrigerator, and microwave interiors cleaned, important for both move-out deposit checklists and move-in peace of mind.
- Bathrooms and grout. Full scrub of tile, grout, and fixtures.
- Baseboards, trim, and vents. Including the older original trim common in Courthouse’s rowhouses.
- Floors throughout. Vacuumed and mopped room to room once the space is empty.
Why It Matters in Courthouse
Many Courthouse leasing offices require the unit returned to a specific move-out standard before a security deposit is released, and a freight elevator or loading dock reservation can limit the hours movers and cleaners have access. On the rowhouse side, a thorough move-in clean before furniture arrives is the easiest time to reach baseboards, closets, and corners that get harder to access once a home is lived in. We work around whichever timeline applies.

FAQ
Do you clean before or after the movers, or both?
Either, or both — whatever the timeline needs. Most move-out cleanings happen after the unit is empty, and most move-in cleanings happen before furniture arrives so we have full access to every surface.
Will the cleaning meet my Courthouse building’s move-out checklist?
We cover the standard move-out scope (cabinets, appliance interiors, bathrooms, floors, baseboards) that most leasing offices expect, but we can’t guarantee it satisfies a specific property management checklist since those vary by building. Send us the checklist when you book and we’ll tell you if anything falls outside our standard scope.
Do you need a freight elevator or loading dock reservation for Courthouse towers?
Often, yes. Many Courthouse buildings require a freight elevator or loading dock reservation during moves, and we’re glad to work within whatever window your building assigns — just let us know the reserved time when you book.
Can you handle a Courthouse rowhouse with a basement?
Yes. We clean the full home including finished basements as part of a move-in/move-out visit; let us know the layout when you book so we can plan the time accordingly.
How far in advance should I book a move-in/move-out cleaning in Courthouse?
As soon as you have a moving date, especially near the end of the month when lease turnovers cluster. That gives us the best shot at matching your building’s access window.
