TL;DR
A Boulder move-in clean is an empty or nearly empty reset so you can unpack into a kitchen and bath that are actually done. Use move-in / move-out cleaning and call (631) 778-8910.
Unpack after the clean, not during it
The disappointing walkthrough is common: the place looked fine at the showing and grimy when the keys were real. Mapleton Hill houses, Hill rentals, North Boulder family streets, downtown condos, and Gunbarrel homes all do this in different floor plans. A move-in clean is the same family of work as a move-out. The goal is a kitchen you can put food in and baths you will use that night.
If you are still living in the mess, that is closer to a deep cleaning. If the last household left construction dust from a flip, say so. Stickers and drywall film are post-construction cleaning, and we do not haul debris.
Boulder is its own area, separate from Denver. Louisville and Lafayette are next door, not automatic. Call and ask if that is the address.
What to have empty
We do not patch walls or remove furniture the seller left in the garage unless a clear garage sweep was on the quote. Foothill dust on sills is normal move-in work. A garage full of the last owner's storage is not.
- Cabinets and drawers you want wiped inside.
- The fridge. A cooler in the car for one afternoon is easier than a crew working around open containers.
- Closets if you want shelves done. Full closets get a face wipe at most.
- Counters. Boxes can wait in the center of a room, not on every surface.
Timing on The Hill and elsewhere
Rentals near the university turn over when leases turn over. That clusters dates. It is a scheduling reality, not a number we measured. Book when your key date is real, not the week you hope to be free. A North Boulder house with more floor will not fit in the same window as a downtown condo. Send bedroom and bath counts with the town, or the neighborhood, on the estimate form.
If you are leaving a Boulder rental instead of arriving, use the same service and say move-out. Inside appliances matter more for the walkthrough you are trying to pass. The Albany lease guide is the same idea in a different city.
Dust, stairs, and pets on moving day
Boulder houses pick up fine dust even when nobody has renovated. Wipe sills as part of the empty-home scope, and tell us if windows were open during a windy week. Stairs in older Mapleton houses add time. Say so.
Pets on moving day are stressed. Put them in a closed room or out of the house. Do not ask the crew to mind a door that opens onto a street.

FAQ
Can you clean while the movers are unloading?
You can, and it is slower. If the truck is in the kitchen, the counters wait. Tell us if the crews will overlap.
Do you bring supplies?
We bring what we need for a normal clean. We do not supply your unpacking boxes, shelf liner, or a new shower curtain.
Is Gunbarrel included?
Gunbarrel is listed on the Boulder area page. Denver neighborhoods are a different page and a different booking.
What if the oven was used as storage?
Tell us. We clean interiors that are empty enough to clean. A packed oven is not an interior clean.
