Tenants handing back the keys and wanting the security deposit back book this move out cleaning, as do buyers and renters cleaning before they unpack, and sellers getting a home ready for showings.

How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Metairie?
A move-out and move-in cleaning in Metairie starts from $269 per visit. For comparison, a standard house cleaning for an occupied home starts from $169. An empty-home clean costs more because every cabinet, closet, and appliance is emptied and cleaned inside, baseboards and tile grout are scrubbed, and no surface is skipped for the walkthrough. We quote a flat rate per visit built from the number of 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. That flat price includes deep work that is often charged per item elsewhere: inside the oven and refrigerator, inside all emptied cabinets and closets, and baseboards throughout the house. The house cleaning quote is free and itemized so you can see every detail upfront.
What move out cleaning in Metairie involves that a generic one does not
In Metairie, 61% of homes are single-family detached houses, while 11% are in larger apartment buildings with 20 or more units. In nearby Elmwood, only 7% of homes are single-family houses. A single-family home with several bathrooms and stairs requires more attention to baseboards and railings than an apartment unit. The humid climate in Metairie causes mildew in shower grout, on air conditioning vents, and inside closets that stay shut. Scrubbing grout and drying out closet corners before a walkthrough prevents landlords from flagging mold damage. FEMA ranks Jefferson Parish among the most frequent areas in the country for heavy rain flooding and hurricanes. Rain tracks mud into entries, putting heavy wear on tile and hardwood floors. During the Atlantic hurricane season from June 1 to November 30, storm cleanups increase local demand, so scheduling a move out cleaning promptly helps keep your moving timeline on track.
Getting the security deposit back in Metairie
For a tenant in Metairie, Louisiana law requires a landlord to return your security deposit within one month after the lease terminates. That one-month clock starts the day the lease ends, provided you have fulfilled your obligations. For complete rules on allowed deductions, normal wear and tear, and pre-move documentation, visit our Louisiana move-out and move-in cleaning page. Taking dated photos of every room after the clean, alongside our itemized receipt, provides clear proof of the condition you left behind.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Metairie
A move-out or move-in cleaning for a studio or one-bedroom home takes 2 to 4 labor hours. A two-bedroom home takes 4 to 6 labor hours, while a three-bedroom house of about 1,500 to 2,000 square feet requires 5 to 8 labor hours. For four or more bedrooms starting at 3,000 square feet, the work takes 8 to 14 or more labor hours. A two-person crew roughly halves the time spent on site. Heavy appliance cleaning alone can add 2 to 3 labor hours. Booking a few days ahead is usually sufficient. Schedule the move out cleaning for the final day, after movers leave but before the final walkthrough, ensuring water and power remain connected.

Move out cleaning in Metairie: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Metairie?
A move out cleaning starts from $269 per visit. The final cost depends on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the initial condition of the property, never on raw square footage.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
It is worth booking a cleaning service if the security deposit at stake is larger than the cost of the service or if your lease explicitly requires a clean unit. It is unnecessary if your lease automatically deducts a non-refundable, fixed cleaning fee, so check your lease agreement first.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The service covers the interior of the oven, refrigerator, cabinets, and closets. A maid scrubs bathrooms top to bottom, wipes down baseboards, and cleans all floors throughout the empty property.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we provide a fixed price per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall condition. Hourly quotes are difficult to compare because the total price fluctuates based on the speed of individual cleaners.
How long does a landlord in Louisiana have to return a security deposit?
A landlord must return the security deposit within one month after the lease terminates. Visit our Louisiana state page for a full breakdown of deposit laws, wear and tear guidelines, and tenant rights.
