Move In / Move Out Cleaning in Birmingham, AL
A move-in or move-out clean is done in an empty home, so it can reach everything furniture usually hides. We work a 50-item written checklist: inside the kitchen cabinets, inside the oven and refrigerator, baseboards, doors, fixtures, bathrooms and floors, for a flat rate set by your square footage, from $351. Book it after the movers leave and before the final walkthrough, or before you move your own things in.

The Birmingham move in / move out cleaning problem — and your real options
You're moving out of a Birmingham rental and your deposit is on the line. Landlords inspect the exact spots tenants miss — oven interiors, window sills, cabinet shelves, bathroom grout — and deduct for every one. Clean it wrong and you lose hundreds.
Do it yourself
Free, but you clean what you see while the landlord inspects what you don't — the broiler drawer, fridge coils, caulk lines. The most-deducted areas are the easiest to miss.
A $19/hr gig cleaner
Cheap up front, but no checklist, no insurance, and no guarantee your deposit comes back. If they miss the inspection points, the cost lands on you.
The Valley Clean Team
Flat-rate move-out clean to a landlord's inspection checklist — inside appliances, tracks, grout, baseboards. Your crew uploads photos to your customer portal. Only you and our office can see them.

Move In / Move Out Cleaning Services for Birmingham, Jefferson County Residents
Birmingham has a lot of turnover: apartments and rentals around Southside and Lakeview, Homewood homes that change hands every summer, and new construction and resales in Hoover and along US-280. Whichever end of the move you're on, the empty house is the one chance to clean inside the kitchen cabinets, behind where the refrigerator stood and along baseboards that furniture has hidden for years.
If you're moving out of a rental, schedule the clean after the last box leaves and before the walkthrough, with a day's margin. If you're selling, clean after the movers and before the final showing or closing. If you're moving in, clean before your furniture arrives. It's much easier to do the cabinets while they're empty.
A move-out clean is thorough, but it doesn't repair anything. Holes in walls, carpet that needs extraction and damaged finishes are for a handyman or a specialist, and we'll point them out rather than pretend we fixed them. We can't promise what a landlord will decide at inspection, but we work the list landlords and buyers actually look at.

Move In / Move Out Cleaning FAQs for Birmingham
Common questions about move in / move out cleaning in Birmingham
How much does move-out cleaning cost in Birmingham?
Move-in/move-out cleaning starts at $351. That's the flat rate for the smallest homes; your price is set by square footage, not by the hour. Call 256-826-1100 with your square footage and, for most homes, you'll have your price on the call.
Is move-in cleaning different from move-out cleaning?
It's the same 50-item clean of an empty home. The only difference is timing: move-out is after your things leave, move-in is before your things arrive.
Will a move-out clean get my deposit back?
We can't promise that. The landlord decides at inspection, and damage or wear isn't a cleaning issue. What we can do is work the list landlords check: inside appliances and cabinets, bathrooms, baseboards, floors. If anything on our checklist was missed, send us a photo within 24 hours of your clean. We come back and fix it, free.
Which parts of the Birmingham area do you cover?
Birmingham itself, including Southside, Five Points South and Lakeview, plus Homewood, Vestavia Hills, Cahaba Heights, Hoover and Mountain Brook. Elsewhere in Jefferson or Shelby County, call and ask.
Does the house need to be empty?
Mostly. The point of a move clean is reaching inside the oven, fridge and kitchen cabinets and the floor where furniture stood. A few boxes are fine; a furnished house is a deep clean instead.
