For parents

How it works from out of town

  1. 1
    Book and pay from anywhere

    Online or by text — we confirm a clear price first.

  2. 2
    We handle access

    With your student, the roommates or the leasing office.

  3. 3
    Follow the day on your page

    “We’re on the way,” then photos when we finish.

A big share of our work is in the apartment complexes and rental houses around the University of Florida and Santa Fe College — the Archer Road and SW 20th Avenue corridors, Midtown, the student houses east of campus and the complexes out toward Tower Road.

Parents often call us before their student ever does. We make that easy: you tell us what’s needed, we coordinate access with your student or the leasing office, and you get photos of the finished job and a simple invoice. No need to fly in for move-out weekend.

What’s included

Move-in & move-out

  • Fridge, oven, microwave and dishwasher inside and out
  • Cabinets, drawers and closets
  • Bathrooms deep-scrubbed
  • Blinds, baseboards, sills and vents
  • Dated photos for the lease inspection

Shared apartments

  • Price a single bedroom and private bath on their own
  • Add the common areas and kitchen, or split them with roommates
  • One invoice per roommate if you prefer

During the semester

  • One-time ‘reset’ cleans
  • Recurring every-other-week or monthly visits
  • Pre-parents’-weekend cleans (we won’t tell)

Who it’s for

  • UF & Santa Fe College students
  • Parents booking from out of town
  • Roommates splitting shared areas
  • Lease-end inspections

Our tip: Most Gainesville student leases end in late July and early August, and every cleaner in town books up. Reserve your move-out date as soon as you know it.

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.

Outstanding service, communication and value from Good Heart Homes!
We wanted a one-time cleaning for our college son’s house that he rents with 2 roommates. Despite the college boys’ attempts at keeping the house “clean” for 9 months, it needed a lot of work but Jeanette accepted the challenge, went above & beyond and exceeded expectations! If you need your house cleaned (Gainesville), Good Heart Homes for the WIN!

Questions

Student apartments FAQ

Can I book and pay as a parent?

Yes — most of our student jobs are booked by parents. We send the confirmation, photos and invoice to you, and coordinate access with your student or the leasing office. Our founder has been that out-of-town parent herself.

Can you clean just my room and bathroom?

Yes. In shared apartments we can clean one bedroom and bathroom on its own, or include the kitchen and common areas.

Which complexes do you work in?

All over Gainesville — the Archer Road and SW 20th Avenue areas, Midtown and near campus, Butler area, and the complexes out toward Tower Road and Newberry Road.
