A Fresh Start homeowner’s experience

“… I am a bit of a neat freak and went through a couple cleaning companies that just were not doing the level of clean I expected. …”

“We love this family owned business. The owners, Devon and Melinda, are the ones who come and clean, so they pay special attention to the details. When I had a basement leak, Devon was more prepared and knowledgeable about what needed to be treated than the mitigation company that had already been out. I am a bit of a neat freak and went through a couple cleaning companies that just were not doing the level of clean I expected. We have now been using them for over three years.”

How we treat your home

  • No judgment, no shortcuts

    We clean without commentary, and we change methods if a surface could be damaged.

  • Straight about limits

    Cleaning removes buildup; it does not promise restoration of worn or damaged finishes. We tell you up front if a stain may stay. Air scrubbing is supplemental filtration, not a health treatment.

  • If we miss something

    Tell us within 24 hours after completion. We’ll inspect it and, when appropriate, make it right under our Terms of Service.

Before you book

Does everything need to be out?

No. Tell us what stays. Anything we clean inside must be empty.

Can you help at short notice?

We check capacity first. Submitting a date doesn’t reserve it. Need it within 72 hours? Call us.

Call 517-225-2999
What if movers or contractors are still working?

Share their schedule. We’ll plan around it and tell you if their dust needs extra cleaning.

Can you clean both homes?

Yes, if we have availability. Each home gets its own quote.

Will this guarantee my deposit back or an inspection result?

No. We do the agreed cleaning, but we can’t guarantee a landlord’s or inspector’s decision.

Get the cleaning handled before the keys change hands.

We’ll follow up with your quote.
