Unit turnovers for Kansas City landlords
We clean vacated apartments, duplexes and rental houses for landlords and property managers across the Kansas City metro: one checklist for every unit, a photo of every room, and one rate for each unit size.
The vacancy-ready sheet
Every unit gets the same checklist, room by room, and the crew lead signs each page. This is the living-room page. The full sheet has a kitchen, a bath and a bedroom page too.
Swept, vacuumed and mopped edge to edge, behind the door and into the corners.
Glass wiped inside, sills and tracks cleared of grit and dead bugs.
Plates wiped. A cracked or missing one goes on the note, not in the trash.
Dust lines and scuffs off, so touch-up paint is the only job left.
Shelf and rod wiped, door and knob cleaned, nothing left on the floor.
Range, hood, fridge and every cabinet and drawer opened and wiped inside.
Photo proof
Every room, shot from the doorway once the sheet is signed, from the same angles each time, so you can compare one turn with the next. These frames are samples.

What a turn covers
The rate depends on the unit's size, so here are two sizes with every line the clean covers. The quote we send you lists the same lines for your unit, each priced.
One kitchen, one bath, one or two rooms. By-the-turn rate.
Not included: carpet extraction, appliance repair, trash removal beyond what fits in the unit's own bins.
One kitchen, two baths, three bedrooms, living and dining. By-the-turn rate.
Portfolio rates are lower. A unit left in poor condition is quoted as a make-ready clean, in writing, before we start.
A plan is a held rate, not insurance and not cover for damage.
How a turn goes
Send the unit, its size, the move-out date and where the key is. We confirm the slot in writing, unit by unit.
The crew lead opens every door, cabinet and drawer and photographs anything that is damage, not dirt, before the clean starts.
Room by room, line by line. The lead signs each page of the sheet when it is done.
You get a photo of every room, the signed sheet and a note on what needs a contractor: a door off its track, a missing plate, a stain that will not lift.
The key goes back to the lockbox, office or tag board you named, and the time it comes out and goes back is on the sheet.
Two ways to clean an empty unit
Both leave a unit tidy. The difference is what you can check afterward without driving out.
| What you can check | Basic move-out clean | Vacancy-ready turn |
|---|---|---|
| The checklist | Basic move-out cleanVaries by crew and by day | Vacancy-ready turnOne sheet per unit, signed by the crew lead |

Who runs your turns
Eighteen people work the schedule across three crews. These four are the ones you will hear from.
Owner and general manager
Started by cleaning her own rental duplexes between tenants. Reads the first sheet on every new building herself.
Operations manager
Builds the turn schedule from your move-out dates, and moves a crew when a tenant leaves early.
Quality lead
Checks every photo set against the sheet before it goes to you, and sends a crew back for a missed line.
Crew lead
Runs the walk-through, logs the keys and signs the sheet for the units on his route.
From managers and landlords
“The photo set was in my inbox before I had finished writing the walk-through email. The note said a closet door was off its track, so the carpenter went in first.”
“I used to drive out to check. Now I open the sheet and the pictures, and they match.”
“Our leasing agents open the photo set before they list a unit. It saves a trip, and the note tells them what to say about the kitchen.”
Sample reviews.
Service area
Three crews start from the office on Grand Boulevard and work the metro by route, so a landlord with units in Olathe and Crossroads is one schedule. These are the neighborhoods and towns we are asked about most.
We do not turn units in Lawrence, Topeka, St. Joseph or Warrensburg.
Questions
By its size, the condition it is left in and what the floors are. A studio and a three-bedroom are different rates; so is a unit left in good order and one with years of build-up. The Plans page explains the rates, and the written slot for each unit gives its rate and says what the clean includes before we start.
The crew lead opens every door, cabinet and drawer, photographs anything that looks like damage rather than dirt, and then starts on the sheet. You get that photo with the note, so you know what a contractor has to look at.
No. Send us where the key is: a lockbox, your office, a tag board or a code. The lead logs the time the key comes out and the time it goes back. If a door will not open, we call you before we leave and note it on the sheet.
A crew from our own schedule, led by a named crew lead who signs the sheet. The work-order confirmation says which lead has your unit.
Yes. We carry general liability insurance, and the limits are in the footer of every page. A certificate of insurance naming your company goes out on request.
Tell us in writing and send the photo. We go back to a missed line on the sheet, and the Policies page has the terms for breakage and for anything missing from a unit.
Vacuums, mops, cloths, ladders for ceiling fans and light fixtures, and the products for the job. Fragrance-free products are available on request; tell us when you book the slot.
We do not clean an occupied unit as a turn. If a tenant is still there when the crew arrives, the lead calls you and the slot moves; the cancellation terms are on the Policies page.
Work orders
List the units, the move-out dates and where each key is. We reply with a written slot for each unit, in the order they empty.
