Move-out and move-in cleaning · Corpus Christi, TX
Corpus Christi area
Texas deposit law gives you clear protections if you know the steps. Here is how a Moving Clean, a forwarding address and the city's bulky pickup all fit a Corpus Christi move.
What's Covered
The One-Time Moving Clean covers every surface and area that appears on a typical landlord move-out inspection report, not just the surfaces that are easy to clean. Interior appliances, cabinet interiors, baseboards, window sills, and grout are the most common sources of security deposit deductions. All are standard checklist items.
TotalCare Cleaning will work with buyers, sellers, landlords, property managers, and real estate agents in Corpus Christi. Coordination with tenants or management can be arranged directly. We will work around closing dates and move-out deadlines.
Pricing starts at $350 for 1 bedroom through $727 for 5 bedrooms. All priced by the home, all supplies included.

Join the Opening List →About 42 percent of occupied homes in Corpus Christi are rented, so plenty of people here will go through a move-out walkthrough. Texas law sets some clear rules about deposits, and a clean home helps you get the benefit of them.
Texas Property Code Section 92.103 requires a landlord to refund a security deposit on or before the 30th day after you surrender the premises. That clock is the main date to track.
There is a step tenants often miss. Under Section 92.107, a landlord does not have to return a deposit or itemize deductions until you give a written forwarding address. Put it in writing, keep a copy, and do it on or before the day you hand over the keys.
Texas law also bars a landlord from keeping any part of a deposit for normal wear and tear. Faded paint and worn carpet in an older unit are not the same as a dirty oven, and the difference is worth photographing.
A One-Time Moving Clean does everything in a deep clean, including hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, wiped fans and vents, degreased cabinet fronts, treated shower glass, detailed faucets and soaked stovetop grates. Then it adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets.
Prices run $350.00 to $727.00 across the five home sizes, starting at $350.00 for the first row. All of this works just as well for someone moving in, and it makes particular sense in a home that has been sitting closed through the humid months. See the cost page for all of the rows, including what larger homes start at.
Cleaners do not haul furniture, and an empty home cleans best. Corpus Christi Solid Waste picks up heavy brush and bulky items several times a year on a published section schedule, limited to one truckload per collection. Your section's next date may not match your move date, so check early.
Piles can be no more than 6 feet high, 10 feet long and 6 feet deep, and extra loads are billed on the utility bill. If you rent, check with your landlord before setting out a large pile.
Before the walkthrough, also check outdoor spots that are easy to miss. Vector Control warns that mosquitoes breed in stagnant water in buckets, clogged gutters and plant saucers, so empty and take those with you.
About 13 percent of Corpus Christi units are in buildings of 10 or more apartments. In those, ask the manager about elevator or parking rules, and which day inspections happen. In a detached rental, about 64 percent of the housing, remember the garage and any patio, because a landlord's list can include them.
The hard water here also shows up at inspection. With hardness averaging 236 parts per million, any landlord will notice crusted faucets and cloudy shower doors. A Moving Clean deals with both, along with the appliances.
Kingsville deserves its own mention, since about 56 percent of occupied homes there are rented, in a town with a university and a Navy air station. The same Texas rules apply there as in the city.
One last practical point: plan the clean for after the movers leave but before the walkthrough. Then take your own photos of each room, the inside of the oven and refrigerator, and any worn spots you want on record. Hand in the keys and your written forwarding address together, and keep a copy of that note with your lease. If a deduction does appear later, those photos and that note are what you will rely on when you talk it through with the landlord.
