Service details and local conditions
We aim to prepare your space to your satisfaction, recognizing that many householders, like the 1,137,816 who lived in the same house 1 year ago, value a fresh start in their new residence.
San Diego's housing stock presents a variety of ages, with a significant 568,668 housing units having a median build year of 1979. This means many homes might have been built decades ago, with 20.5% of homes constructed before 1960. While local factors like the average of 13.0 inches of precipitation a year over 1991-2020 are part of San Diego's environment, our focus remains on the specific needs of your empty property.
Whether your new home has 1 bedroom, like 100,843 units, or is one of the 145,471 units with 3 bedrooms, ensuring it's pristine for your arrival is our priority. This preparation allows you to move into a thoroughly cleaned space, ready for your personal touch, without inference about specific cleaning needs due to the age or type of the structure.

Frequently asked questions
How much moving actually happens in San Diego?
Enough to keep a steady rota, but this is not a high-turnover area: 1,137,816 of 1,322,857 householders were in the same home a year earlier (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B07013). Move-in cleans here are individual bookings spread through the year rather than one lease cycle everybody moves on, so slots are usually available on the date you need.
What does an empty-house clean actually include?
The surfaces you cannot reach once the van is unloaded: inside kitchen cabinets and drawers, refrigerator and oven interiors, bathroom fixtures, closet shelves, baseboards, and the floors last. The full checklist is on the national page.
The sellers left it broom-clean — do we still need it?
Say so and we will tell you honestly. Broom-clean changes the time, not the checklist: cabinet interiors, appliance seals and bathroom fixtures are almost never covered by it.
Where do I find what is included, step by step?
On the national move-in cleaning page — it carries the checklist, the timings and the published starting price, so it is maintained in one place rather than reworded on every local page.
What happens if something is missed?
Tell us within 36 hours and we arrange a return visit at no extra cost.
