Cleaning after we leave — Kansas City moving day

We move the house. We are not a maid service unless we wrote it. How cleaning sits after a Kansas City load — not a cleanout and not the landlord walkthrough.

When a cleanout is the job is empty-by-Friday. Landlord walkthrough is the deposit clock. Dump run vs a moving truck is trash, not a mop. Food in the fridge is leftovers. What we will not assemble is the next page. This page is after the last box: we are not a maid service unless we wrote it. Two ZIP codes: Get my price. We will not write “licensed and insured.”

From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck — two movers and a truck. Most local jobs $1,200–$1,500. That band is the load, not a deep clean. We do not publish a maid fee here.

Keys late: keys late. Closing day: title and a broom are two clocks — closing day. Origin ready, dest not: origin ready, destination not. Overnight on the truck: overnight on the truck.

Frequently asked questions

Will you mop after the truck leaves?

Not as a default. We move the house. A maid service is a different sentence unless we wrote it.

Is this a cleanout?

No. A cleanout is empty-by-Friday. This page is after a keep-move. Read both.

Landlord wants it broom-clean.

That is your walkthrough. Say so before we quote if you need us to stay for a sweep we wrote.

Holes from a TV mount.

Yours unless [WHAT TIM WILL HONOUR] says otherwise. See the mount page.

Is labour-only a cleaning crew?

No. Labour only is still our labour on the house, not a mop.
