Move-In Cleaning in The Bronx

Broom clean is the standard most Bronx landlords hand a unit over in. It means the floor was swept. It does not mean anyone wiped the inside of the kitchen drawers, scrubbed the tub, or cleaned the top of the refrigerator. Our move-in clean closes the gap between what a lease requires and what you would actually want to unpack into.

The right moment is the day you have keys and before the boxes arrive. An empty apartment lets us clean the closet floors, the inside of every cabinet, the wall where the couch will go and the whole length of every baseboard. Once furniture is in, a third of those surfaces are gone for good.

We see the full range of Bronx move-ins. A freshly painted one bedroom in Norwood where the painter left a haze on the floors. A Mott Haven condo that sat open through construction. A Riverdale co-op after a decades-long owner moved out. A Throgs Neck house a family just closed on. Each gets the same checklist and its own scope.

Timing in the Bronx is tight. Leases in elevator buildings often come with a booked freight elevator slot for the movers, and you may only have that one day. Tell us the schedule and we work around it, including early mornings and weekends when the building allows.

If the previous tenant left the place worse than the listing photos suggested, send us a few pictures before we arrive. We would rather quote the real condition than surprise you with an adjustment at the door.
