Move-Out Cleaning in Antelope

In the late 1800s Antelope was the main settlement in Center Township, and many railroad workers settled there for good. In 1973 a rail car loaded with bombs exploded in the Roseville Yard and damaged most of the homes in town. The Antelope most people know began as a planned community in the late 1980s, and it got its own postmark in 1994. It had 48,733 people in the 2020 census.

About three in ten Antelope homes are rented, many of them family houses. Our move-out clean covers inside the oven, fridge, cabinets and closets, with a free re-clean promise.

Larger households mean busier kitchens and bathrooms. A crew every two weeks keeps them manageable, and a deep clean once or twice a year covers baseboards, vents and grout.

Every move-out cleaning in Antelope follows the same written checklist, so you know exactly what gets done:

Most homes only need a standard clean. Book a deep clean if the home hasn’t been professionally cleaned in a few months, and a move-out clean when the home is empty and a landlord or buyer will inspect it.

• Renters who want their full deposit back
• Landlords and property managers turning over a unit
• Home sellers before closing
• Buyers and renters moving in who want a clean start

Our prices are published so you can compare before you call. These are the things that can move a price up or down:

• Home size and number of bathrooms
• Whether the home is fully empty
• Condition of the oven and bathrooms
• Add-ons like carpet cleaning and interior windows

You always see your price before booking, and anything unusual is confirmed with you before work starts. Text a photo to (916) 465-1850 if you’re not sure.

1. 1Move everything out first. We clean best when the home is empty
2. 2Keep water and power on
3. 3Ask your landlord for a pre-move-out inspection in your last two weeks
4. 4Leave a key or lockbox code if you won’t be there
5. 5Take your own photos of each room after we finish

Landlords in Antelope follow California Civil Code § 1950.5. These rules decide what a landlord can charge you for cleaning:

• Your landlord has 21 days after you move out to return your deposit or send an itemized statement of deductions.
• Deductions are limited to unpaid rent, damage beyond normal wear and tear, and reasonable cleaning costs.
• If more than $125 is deducted, the landlord must provide receipts for labor and materials.
• You can request a pre-move-out inspection during the last two weeks of your tenancy; the landlord then gives you an itemized list of what to fix to avoid deductions.
• Since April 1, 2025, landlords must photograph the unit after you return the keys and before making repairs, and include those photos with any deductions.
• If a landlord keeps a deposit in bad faith, a court can award up to twice the deposit amount on top of the deposit itself.

The standard is “reasonable cleaning”: the unit should be as clean as when you moved in. That’s why our move-out checklist goes inside the oven, fridge, cabinets and closets: those are the most common cleaning deductions.

When the curbside program doesn’t fit your timeline (or the items are still inside) we haul them away on the same visit as your clean, priced by truck space from $75.

Much of our work in Antelope is helping people at the moments a home changes hands: tenants moving out, owners getting a rental ready for the next tenant, sellers preparing for listing photos, and new owners or renters moving in. We clean houses, apartments, condos and offices: empty or furnished.

One company for the clean-out and the clean means one appointment, one crew and one invoice. Move-out cleaning starts at $400; junk removal at $75.
