How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Carrollton?
A move-out cleaning or move-in cleaning in Carrollton starts from $299 per visit. For comparison, a standard house cleaning visit starts from $189. An empty-home clean costs more because every cabinet, closet and appliance is cleaned inside, along with baseboards and grout, so nothing is skipped for the walkthrough. We quote a flat rate per visit from the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and the condition of the home, so the total is known before anyone arrives, while an hourly quote can grow when the job runs long. Inside the oven and refrigerator, emptied cabinets and closets, and baseboards are included in the price rather than charged per item. Every quote is free and itemized for your move-out cleaning or move-in cleaning.
What move out cleaning in Carrollton involves that a generic one does not
In Carrollton, 58% of homes are single-family houses and 11% are in apartment buildings of 20 or more units, while in nearby Addison, 13% are single-family houses. A single-family house has extra stairs, large living spaces and baseboards that accumulate dust, while apartments usually require a formal check-out with a leasing manager. Heavy rain causes regular local flooding, which leads to mud being tracked across entryways and tile grout. A buyer or landlord notices stained grout and mud lines on entry floors right away, so it helps to scrub tile pathways before the final walkthrough. Winter ice storms can also keep people indoors for days, creating salt residue and dirt along door tracks. Wiping door tracks and entry baseboards keeps these high-traffic points ready for inspection during a tenant transition or a home sale.
Getting the security deposit back in Carrollton
For a tenant in Carrollton, Texas law requires the landlord to refund the security deposit or mail an itemized list of deductions on or before the 30th day after you surrender the premises or provide your written forwarding address, whichever happens later. Read our Texas move-out cleaning guide for full legal details on normal wear and tear and documentation tips. Having dated photos of every room after the clean, along with an itemized receipt from a cleaning service, helps resolve most tenant security deposit disputes.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Carrollton
A studio or one-bedroom home takes 2 to 4 labor hours to clean, while a two-bedroom property requires 4 to 6 labor hours. A three-bedroom home of about 1,500 to 2,000 square feet takes 5 to 8 labor hours, and a house with four or more bedrooms starting at 3,000 square feet takes 8 to 14 or more labor hours. A two-person maid crew halves the time spent on site. Cleaning inside the oven and refrigerator can add 2 to 3 labor hours. Booking a few days in advance is usually sufficient. Schedule the move-out clean for the day after the movers finish, with electricity and water active.

Move out cleaning in Carrollton: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Carrollton?
A move-out clean starts from $299 per visit. The final cost depends on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and overall home condition, rather than the square footage of the property.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
It is worthwhile when your security deposit is larger than the cost of the clean, or when your lease mandates a clean unit upon departure. If your lease already charges an automatic fixed fee regardless of condition, hiring a cleaner is not necessary.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The service covers the interior of the oven, refrigerator, cabinets and closets. It also includes scrubbing bathrooms top to bottom, wiping baseboards and washing all visible floor surfaces.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we provide a flat price per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms and home condition. Hourly rates are difficult to compare because the total cost fluctuates depending on how fast the maid team works.
How long does a landlord in Texas have to return a security deposit?
The landlord has 30 days to return the deposit or send an itemized list of deductions. This 30-day clock begins once you surrender the home and provide a written forwarding address, whichever is later. Review our Texas page for details on deposit rights.
