Move-In Cleaning in Andover, MA

Andover draws two kinds of moves: families relocating for work in the Merrimack Valley corridor, and buyers trading up into the older homes around Shawsheen Village and the Phillips Academy area. Both often involve arriving from a distance, and a fair number of our Andover clients have never stood in the house before the day they move into it.

That shapes how we run these jobs. We coordinate access through your agent or a lockbox, clean the empty house completely — cabinet and closet interiors, appliance interiors, bathrooms to the grout, baseboards, window interiors and tracks, vents and registers, fixtures and door frames — and send photos when we're done. If we turn up something that cleaning won't solve, you hear it from us with time to react.

Andover's older homes want a gentler approach than a checklist implies. Original woodwork, plaster, and painted stair rails don't respond well to aggressive products, and we choose accordingly. Newer subdivisions off River Road bring the opposite issue — fine builder dust seated in registers and window tracks that resurfaces for weeks unless it's actually removed instead of wiped past.
