Apartment Turnover Cleaning for Norfolk Homes
A vacant unit in a low-lying part of Norfolk can change quickly once the residents leave and the air conditioning is turned down. Coastal humidity settles into closets, bathrooms and window sills, and mildew shows up on caulk lines, grout and the ceiling over the shower. Units in older brick buildings can have damp stairwells and basements that make it worse. Our make ready scope treats mildew as a standard item rather than an extra, because a prospect touring the unit will notice the smell and the spots on the caulk before they notice the fresh paint.
Each turn covers the kitchen from top to bottom, including inside the oven, refrigerator, cabinets and drawers, plus bathrooms, fixtures, ceiling fans, blinds, baseboards, doors, window tracks and every floor. Rain and tidal flooding in parts of Ghent and the Hague area bring grit into entries and onto the first few feet of carpet or vinyl, so thresholds get extra scrubbing. We work from the top down so dust from fans and vents lands before the floors are done. Tell us where paint, maintenance and flooring fall in your sequence, and we will clean at the right point in it.
Owners with units near the Old Dominion University area or in older Ghent buildings may see several move-outs land at once when leases end, and military move season across Hampton Roads can stack up turns in late spring and summer. We plan crew time with you ahead of those stretches. Chesapeake Commercial Cleaners is locally owned and operated, and we can also keep leasing offices, hallways and laundry rooms on a recurring schedule. Our crew walks a vacant unit with you before the first turn, and then we set up a simple way to request units and handle keys or lockboxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you treat mildew in a vacant unit that sat closed through a Norfolk summer?
Surface mildew on caulk, grout, window sills and bathroom ceilings is part of our standard turn, cleaned with products suited to each surface. If mildew has worked into drywall or behind caulk, cleaning alone may not fix it, and we flag it so your maintenance team can decide whether to recaulk or repair. Running the air conditioning or a dehumidifier in vacant units helps prevent it.
How do you handle keys for units in an older building without a leasing office?
We work with whatever system you use, such as a lockbox, a key log or a pickup point with your property manager. Keys stay with the crew assigned to your turns, and units are locked and checked when we leave. For buildings with shared entries or stairwells, we also ask how you want common doors handled so the building stays secure.
What is included in a standard make ready clean?
A standard turn covers the kitchen, including the inside of the oven, range hood, refrigerator, dishwasher door, cabinets and drawers, plus full bathroom cleaning, blinds, ceiling fans, light fixtures, baseboards, doors, window sills and tracks, closets and every floor. Every property has its own standard, so we build the scope from your move-in inspection form and adjust it for things like patios, balconies or washer and dryer hookups.
Can you handle heavy turns or units left in rough shape?
Yes. Some residents leave a unit nearly move-in ready, and others leave heavy grease, pet hair, smoke film or trash behind. We let you know when a unit needs more than a standard clean before we start, so you can approve the extra work or bill it back to the former resident. Large trash-outs and hauling are handled separately, so tell us if the unit still has belongings or bulk debris inside.
