Move-Out Cleaning in Laguna Niguel, California
A family moving to Laguna Niguel usually buys a home someone else has lived in. Doctor Clean cleans those resale houses and townhomes before the new owners move in. We also clean homes on the way out for sellers and tenants. The cleaner starts inside the cabinets, closets, oven and refrigerator. That is where a previous owner's crumbs tend to stay. Each cleaner sent to a Laguna Niguel home is background checked and vetted.
A city that is nearly built out
The city's housing element draft says nearly every part of Laguna Niguel has been built out. The Gateway area is the exception. Most homes went up in the 1980s and 1990s, according to regional housing data. A buyer moving in gets the previous owner's kitchen, bathrooms and closets along with the view. A move in clean starts inside every cabinet and drawer. The oven and the refrigerator come next, before a single plate goes in. The clean also covers the shower grout, the fixtures and the closet floors. The checklist arrives before the day, so you know which rooms are done when the movers arrive.
Gateway homes along Crown Valley Parkway
The Gateway Specific Plan covers about 315 acres along Crown Valley Parkway, Cabot Road and Forbes Road. The area lies between Interstate 5 and State Route 73. Its 2011 update allows up to 2,994 homes beside the business parks and showrooms there. New homes in Gateway would need a first move in clean. It lifts construction dust from shelves and sills. The Gateway plan says Crown Valley Parkway traffic slows trips across the area. A clean in that area is easier to schedule outside the rush hours. The written checklist shows which parts of a new home were cleaned and which were left to the builder.
Second homes changing hands
Regional housing data show that Laguna Niguel holds a slightly larger share of seasonal homes than the region does. An owner who keeps a second home here may sell it from another state. That owner may also miss the final walk through. A move out clean can be booked by email. The price and the written checklist go to the owner, with a copy for the agent. Tell us whether the home was closed for months, since months of dust on every shelf add time. A house that sat closed also needs its vents and ceiling fans dusted.
