The one chance to clean a home properly
There is exactly one moment when a house is completely empty, and it is worth using. No furniture to move, no boxes in the way, nothing on the shelves, every cabinet, closet and corner is reachable at once. After the truck unloads, that window closes for years.
Elevation Cleaning Services handles move-in cleaning for homes across Montrose and the surrounding communities. We clean the places you inherit but never see: inside cabinets and drawers, the tops of closet shelves, behind where the previous owner had the fridge, the tracks under the sliding door.
Whether you just closed on a house, signed a lease, or manage a property that is turning over, a move-in clean means the first night in a new place is a good one instead of a job.

Who it is for
Who books a move-in clean
New homeowners
You have inspected the place, negotiated it and signed for it. What you have not done is clean it. A move-in clean between closing and moving day means the first thing you put on a shelf is going onto a clean shelf.
Renters signing a new lease
A rental can pass a walk-through and still not be clean the way you would clean it. We handle the kitchen, bathrooms and closets before your furniture goes in.
Realtors and agents
A clean home shows better and hands over better. Cleaning between the final walk-through and the buyer taking possession is a small thing that clients remember.
Property managers
Turnovers move fast. We clean vacant units so they are ready to show or ready to occupy, and we can work to the date you need rather than the date that suits us.
Timing it right
Book the clean before the truck, not after
The best move-in cleans happen in the gap, after the previous occupants are out and before your belongings arrive. Even a single day in that window is enough for us to reach everything.
If your timeline is tighter than that, we can still work around a partially loaded house. It just means some surfaces stay covered. Tell us your closing or possession date when you request an estimate and we will fit the visit into the schedule.
- Ideally between possession and moving day
- Same-week scheduling where the calendar allows
- Coordinated with realtors or property managers
- Paired with a move-out clean at your old place

Questions
Got questions? We have answers.
What does move-in cleaning include?
Move-in cleaning covers an empty home top to bottom: inside cabinets, drawers and closets, appliance interiors, bathrooms including tile and fixtures, floors wall to wall, baseboards, trim, doors, window sills and tracks, and light fixtures and vents where they can be safely reached.
Oven interiors and interior windows are available on request.
When is the best time to schedule move-in cleaning?
After the previous occupants have moved out and before your furniture arrives. That gap is when a home is fully reachable. If the timing is tight, we can still work around a partially loaded house, just let us know what to expect.
Do you clean rentals and apartments as well as houses?
Yes. We clean houses, condos, apartments and rental units. Property managers and realtors use move-in cleaning regularly to get a unit ready for a new occupant.
Can you clean before I arrive from out of town?
That is a common request here. Plenty of people buy in Western Colorado before they can get here in person. We can arrange access and complete the clean ahead of your arrival so you walk into a finished home.
Do you also clean the home I am moving out of?
Yes. Many customers book both ends of a move at once. Our move-out cleaning gets your old home ready to hand over while the move-in clean prepares the new one.
