Reach Out
If you’re working through a turnover clean, stuck on a particular detail, or just have questions about getting a rental or small office inspection-ready, this site is here to help. Whether you’re a property manager, landlord, tenant, or office manager, the resources here draw on years of managing properties and knowing what an inspector actually looks at. This site has no direct email or contact form, so the answers you need are in the pages here: the walk-through standards, the checklist, the common questions, and the standards for when to bring in professional help. If you decide you need a professional crew, the checklist and standards here give you the language to describe the job clearly and ask the right questions when you reach out to them.

What to have ready when you hire help
If you decide you need professional help, here’s what’s worth having on hand. The type of space matters — residential apartment, house, small office, or retail. The size helps too: the number of bedrooms or rooms, or square footage if you know it. Let the cleaner or crew know whether the previous tenant or owner left it occupied and lived-in, empty for a while already, or somewhere in between. The specifics you’re working through matter most. If you’ve already started the clean and hit a snag — a stain that won’t come up no matter what you’ve tried, a detail you’re not sure counts for a walk-through inspection, or whether a certain job really does need professional equipment and training rather than elbow grease — that’s exactly what you want to describe to anyone you hire. Use the checklist and the walk-through standards from this site to give them a clear picture of what the finished job needs to look like.
