An empty living room with the floor swept and mopped for a move-out inspection

Before Good Heart Homes cleaned for anyone else, our family spent more than 25 years turning over our own rental homes. We know exactly what a move-out inspection looks for — and it’s rarely the middle of the floor. It’s the drip pans, the fridge gaskets, the top of the door frames and the dust behind the washer.

Every move-out clean ends with dated photos of the finished job. Customers use them all the time when a property manager questions a charge.

What’s included

Kitchen

  • Inside and outside of the refrigerator and freezer
  • Inside the oven, racks and drip pans
  • Inside cabinets and drawers
  • Range hood, backsplash, sink and fixtures
  • Dishwasher and microwave inside and out

Bathrooms

  • Toilets, tubs, showers and sinks deep-scrubbed
  • Inside vanities, drawers and medicine cabinets
  • Mirrors, fixtures, grout and exhaust fan cover
  • Floors detailed along edges and corners

Throughout

  • Baseboards, doors, door frames and trim
  • Blinds, window sills and tracks
  • Closets, shelves and rods
  • Light switches, outlets, vents and ceiling fans
  • Behind and under the washer and dryer (when they can be moved safely)
  • Floors vacuumed and mopped

Extras we can add

  • Inside window glass and sliding doors
  • Wall spot-cleaning
  • Haul-away of leftover trash
  • Small repairs and paint touch-ups

Who it’s for

  • Renters trying to get their deposit back
  • Homeowners before closing
  • Landlords between tenants
  • New homeowners before the furniture arrives

Our tip: Book for the day after the movers leave, not the same morning. An empty home is faster to clean and there’s no one tracking dust back in.

Thumbtack Verified hire

I contacted Jeanette in July to inquire about cleaning my daughter’s bedroom, bathroom, and common areas of her apartment in Gainesville once she had moved to her new apartment.
When we went in after the work was complete my daughter said-“Wow- this is the cleanest this has ever been! Including the day I moved in last year!” I would recommend contacting Good Heart Homes for move in/ move out/ and maintenance cleaning.

Jeannette and her team were awesome! Everyone was very nice and very committed to doing a good job. I am lucky to have found them on Thumbtack and was able to book a date quickly as she was responsive and answered all the questions I had. The whole team was super professional and threw out a ton of trash for me as well, for a move our clean.

I’ve had plenty of cleaning companies and I typically don’t write reviews but I feel like I just have to tell someone. Sylvia is amazing. The owner is kind and responsive. I ended up staying at home while they cleaned and organized and I observed how thorough they were. I was honestly so scared because she didn’t have a lot of reviews but I learned it’s a new company and I’m so happy I found them. Book them you won’t be disappointed

Questions

Move-in / move-out FAQ

Will this get my deposit back?

We can’t control what a landlord decides, but we clean to the standard move-out inspections look for and send dated photos. Many clients forward those photos directly to their property manager.

Can you come on short notice?

Often, yes. Last-minute move-outs are something we handle every week. Late July and early August are the exception — Gainesville’s lease turnover rush — so book early.

Do I need to be there?

No. Many move-outs happen after the keys are handed over. We can coordinate with you or your property manager for access.
