Turnover & Make-Ready CleaningBirmingham, Alabama

Minimize Vacancy. Maximize Rent-Readiness.

What is turnover cleaning?

Turnover cleaning is the full clean between tenants that puts a unit back in rent-ready condition. Apartment turnover, make-ready, rent-ready, move-out — same job, different names. We do it for property managers, investors, and landlords across Greater Birmingham.

Whether you call it apartment turnover, rent-ready cleaning, or make-ready, it's the same job: get the unit back on the market before it costs you another month.

Every vacant day costs you money

$38–$45/day

That's the rent alone, at Birmingham levels — average rent runs $1,150–$1,360/month across Zillow, Zumper, and Yardi.

And rent is only the visible part. The unit is empty, but the bills aren't:

Rent not collectedThe number everyone counts$38–45/day
Property tax, insurance, utilitiesRun whether or not anyone lives thereStill running
Mortgage or noteDue on the 1st either wayStill due

A turnover that slips four days because a vendor no-showed — or showed and left the unit unshowable — costs you roughly $160 in rent, before the carrying costs you're paying on an empty box. Across twelve units a year, that's more than a month's rent lost to scheduling, not to the market.

We don't sell cleaning. We sell the day you get the unit back on the market.

Fast scheduling available. Preferred Partners get priority scheduling.

What's included in a turnover clean?

Kitchen

Bathrooms

Whole unit

Priced Separately

  • Oven interior — stove top is included; oven condition varies too much to price blind
  • Refrigerator interior — a unit left with food in it is a different job than an empty one
  • Carpet extraction — carpet is vacuumed in the base clean, not shampooed
  • Wall washing beyond spot treatment
  • Window packages

Each is quoted after we look at the unit. We'd rather tell you the price up front than pad the quote.

How much does turnover cleaning cost?

Priced by square footage. Minimum $320.

Price scales with the size of the unit. Smaller properties come in at the $320 minimum — the cost of showing up doesn't shrink with the unit. Every size band is published on the pricing page, so you can see the number before you call.

Pricing assumes standard service condition: no excessive debris, biohazards, hoarding, heavy grease, or extreme dust. Anything past that gets quoted after we look.

If the unit is worse than expected, we call before we touch it. No surprise invoices.

Who is this for?

Property managers running a portfolio who need the same standard on unit 3 as on unit 30 — and one vendor to call instead of four.

Real estate investors turning a unit between tenants who need it back on the market, not sitting.

Landlords with one or two doors who don't have a crew and don't want to spend a Saturday on a move-out clean.

Why not just use a regular cleaning company?

Because most of them will only do half the job. Cleaning companies won't touch an eviction or a heavy trash-out. Junk haulers empty a property and leave it filthy. Two vendors, two invoices, two standards — and you holding the schedule together.

Kidoti does the whole transition. Cleanout, trash-out, deep clean, post-construction, rehab, listing prep. Why we built it this way →

What condition will the unit be left in?

One of four, and we tell you which before we start. Every job runs a written scope checklist — you get the same copy we do. We bring commercial-grade equipment and all supplies; you provide access. Photo documentation on request.
