A deep house cleaning like this goes beyond a routine clean, tackling build-up on baseboards and inside empty appliances.

Every job follows the same detailed checklist, with a free itemized quote for every property.
How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Shreveport?
A move-out cleaning or move-in cleaning in Shreveport starts from $269 per visit for an empty property. For comparison, a standard house cleaning for an occupied home starts from $169. Empty homes cost more because every cabinet, closet, and appliance is cleaned inside, and areas like baseboards and tile grout are scrubbed so nothing is skipped for the final walkthrough. We quote a flat rate per visit 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. Rather than charging per item, our flat price includes the inside of the oven and refrigerator, emptied cabinets and closets, baseboards, and window sills. Every quote is free, itemized, and fixed before the visit begins.
What move out cleaning in Shreveport involves that a generic one does not
In Shreveport, 67% of homes are single-family detached houses, while 7% are in large apartment buildings with 20 or more units. Single-family properties often feature multiple bathrooms, hallways, and entry points that need thorough attention before a move. According to FEMA's National Risk Index, the local parish experiences frequent strong windstorms that push fine dust and outdoor debris into entryways, door frames, and window tracks. Wiping down these tracks and sills prevents gritty dust from settling into window mechanisms. Heavy rain is also common in the area, leading to severe localized flooding. After heavy rain, mud is easily tracked indoors, leaving heavy wear on hard floors, grout lines, and entryways. Giving vinyl or tile floors a deep clean removes dried mud stains and protects the surface before property inspections. A tenant leaving a home or a buyer moving into a new property should ensure utility services stay active so the cleaner can work efficiently.
Getting the security deposit back in Shreveport
For a tenant in Shreveport, Louisiana law requires the landlord to return the security deposit within one month after the lease terminates. The clock on this deadline begins official count on the date the lease ends. If the landlord retains any portion of the deposit, they must provide an itemized list of deductions. You can review our Louisiana page for details on normal wear and tear and documentation tips. Dated photos of every room after the clean and an itemized receipt settle most security deposit disputes quickly.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Shreveport
An empty home move-out cleaning or move-in cleaning usually takes 2 to 4 labor hours for a studio or one-bedroom unit, and 4 to 6 labor hours for a two-bedroom property. A three-bedroom home of 1,500 to 2,000 square feet takes 5 to 8 labor hours, while a house with four or more bedrooms of 3,000 square feet or more requires 8 to 14 or more labor hours. A two-person crew roughly halves the time spent on site. Heavy appliance grease can add 2 to 3 labor hours. A few days of advance notice is usually enough to secure a maid visit. Book the move-out clean for the final day after movers finish, and keep water and electricity on.

Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we provide a fixed flat price per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and home condition. Hourly rates are difficult to compare because the total cost fluctuates depending on who shows up and how fast they work.
How long does a landlord in Louisiana have to return a security deposit?
Under state law, a landlord has one month to return your security deposit or provide an itemized statement of deductions after the lease terminates. You can read our full Louisiana page for additional guidance on deposit rules and tenant rights.
