NYC scheduling considerations
New York buildings often have doorman procedures, service-elevator reservations, parking limitations and specific access windows. Sharing these details early helps create a realistic arrival and cleaning plan.
Frequently asked questions
Should cleaning happen before or after movers?
For the most complete access, move-out cleaning is usually scheduled after belongings leave. Move-in cleaning works best before furniture arrives.
Does cleaning guarantee a security-deposit return?
No. Deposit decisions depend on lease terms, damage and landlord requirements. Cleaning can improve presentation but cannot guarantee an outcome.
Can property managers request turnover cleaning?
Yes. Provide unit details, access arrangements, scope and deadline for a tailored quote.
