How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Alpharetta?
A move-out or move-in cleaning in Alpharetta starts from $299 per visit. For comparison, a standard clean starts from $189, but an empty home requires deeper work inside every cabinet, closet, and appliance, along with baseboards and grout, so that nothing is skipped for a walkthrough. We quote a flat price per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and the overall condition of the home, so the total is known before anyone arrives, while an hourly quote can grow when the job runs long. Deep house cleaning tasks like scrubbing inside the oven and refrigerator, wiping emptied cabinets, and cleaning baseboards are included in the price rather than charged per item. Every request comes with a free quote that itemizes your service before you book.
What move out cleaning in Alpharetta involves that a generic one does not
In Alpharetta, 56 percent of homes are single-family houses, while nearby Vinings has only 15 percent single-family homes. Larger single-family houses with extra bathrooms and stairs take more effort during a move, especially when clearing out heavy foot traffic areas before a move-out or move-in cleaning. Apartment buildings with 20 or more units make up 13 percent of local housing, where leasing office move-out rules often require detailed cleaning of window tracks and sills to pass inspection. Heavy spring pollen in March and April leaves a yellow film on window sills, blinds, and exterior vents throughout Alpharetta homes, which buyers notice immediately during a walkthrough. Fulton County also experiences heavy rain that leads to localized flooding, tracking red mud across entries and ground floors. Wiping down baseboards, cleaning entry tile, and clearing window tracks ensures these local conditions do not compromise a tenant's security deposit or a seller's showing.
Getting the security deposit back in Alpharetta
Under Georgia law, a landlord must return the security deposit within 30 days after the lease ends or the tenant surrenders the property, whichever happens last. If the owner keeps any portion of the deposit, an itemized list of deductions must be sent within that same 30-day window. You can read our main Georgia state page for complete rules, wear and tear guidelines, and checklists for move-in documentation. Having dated photos of every room after a clean alongside an itemized receipt helps clear up disputes quickly.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Alpharetta
A studio or one-bedroom move-out cleaning takes 2 to 4 labor hours, while a two-bedroom requires 4 to 6 labor hours. A three-bedroom home of 1,500 to 2,000 square feet needs 5 to 8 labor hours, and four or more bedrooms starting at 3,000 square feet can take 8 to 14 or more labor hours. Heavy appliance cleaning alone adds 2 to 3 labor hours. A two-person crew roughly halves the actual time on site. Booking a few days ahead gives you the widest choice of times. Schedule a move-out clean after the movers finish and before the final walkthrough, and ensure water and power stay connected.

Move out cleaning in Alpharetta: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Alpharetta?
A move out cleaning in the city starts from $299 per visit. The total price is based on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the home condition rather than square footage.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
Booking a maid service makes financial sense when the security deposit is larger than the cost of the visit. If your lease agreement automatically deducts a mandatory cleaning fee regardless of condition, a full visit may not be necessary.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The visit covers scrubbing inside the oven and refrigerator, wiping empty cabinets and closets, cleaning bathrooms top to bottom, and washing baseboards. All floors are vacuumed and washed so the entire home is ready for a landlord or new buyer.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we provide a flat price per visit set by the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the home condition. An hourly house cleaning quote can vary unpredictably based on crew size and pace.
How long does a landlord in Georgia have to return a security deposit?
Landlords have 30 days from lease termination or property surrender to return the security deposit or send an itemized list of deductions. Our Georgia page covers additional security deposit rules for local renters.
