What's Covered

Every Area
Inspectors Check

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 Friendswood. Coordination with tenants or management can be arranged directly. We will work around closing dates and move-out deadlines.

Pricing starts at $391 for 1 bedroom through $817 for 5 bedrooms. All priced by the home, all supplies included.

Friendswood is mostly a city of owners, but about one in four of its occupied homes is rented, and a short drive east the picture flips. Webster and the 77058 ZIP code of Clear Lake are mostly renters. Wherever the lease is, the last few days before handing back keys follow the same Texas rules.

This guide covers the deposit law, the notice most leases ask for, how to clear out bulky items, and what the Moving Clean will include when TotalCare Cleaning comes to the area.

The Texas deposit rule in plain terms

Under Texas law, as the Texas Attorney General explains it, a tenant must give the landlord a forwarding address. The landlord then has 30 days to return the security deposit, minus any deductions for damages, with an itemized list of what was kept and why.

Two practical points follow. First, the forwarding address is not optional; without it the 30-day clock has nothing to run from. Second, the itemized list is where cleaning charges show up. A home that is clean at the final walkthrough removes one of the easiest deductions a landlord can make, and dated photos from move-out day back that up.

Give notice before you book

The Attorney General also notes that many leases require 30 days' written notice before moving out as a condition of getting the deposit back. Read the lease for the exact wording, send the notice, and then schedule the Moving Clean for the day after the movers leave and before the final inspection.

Booking early helps in apartment-dense areas. In Webster, only 22.4 percent of occupied homes are owner occupied and more than a third of housing units are in buildings with 20 or more units. In the 77058 ZIP code of Clear Lake, the owner share is 31.2 percent. Many leases end on the last day of a month, so those dates are worth booking early.

Clearing out trash and big items first

An empty room is the one that comes out cleanest, so plan the trash before the clean. In Friendswood, Waste Connections collects garbage twice a week and recycling once, with carts at the curb by 7 a.m. In League City, AmeriWaste picks up twice a week by zone and household trash must be bagged inside the cart. Webster trash goes out Mondays and Thursdays with Republic Services.

Furniture and appliances are a separate matter. Inside the City of Houston, which includes Clear Lake, junk waste such as furniture and appliances is collected curbside in even-numbered months and tree waste in odd-numbered months. Cleaners do not move furniture or carry large items out, so schedule that pickup or a donation run before the cleaning day.

What the Moving Clean will cover

The Moving Clean includes everything in a One-Time Deep Clean, from hand washed baseboards and wet-wiped blinds to window tracks, ceiling fans, vents and shower glass, and adds the insides that only an empty home exposes: the oven, the refrigerator and the cabinets.

Prices will run $391.00 to $817.00 across the five home sizes. A two bedroom apartment of the kind common in Webster will be $493.00, and a four bedroom Friendswood house will be $640.00. The booking page will show the exact figure for the home before you confirm.

Selling a Friendswood house instead

Most Friendswood homes are owner occupied, so many move-out cleans here are for sellers rather than tenants. The median home dates to 1991 and half have four or more bedrooms, which makes for a lot of cabinets, closets and bathrooms to empty and clean before closing day.

A useful habit from the City of Friendswood's flood advice applies here as well: keep a photo inventory. Pictures of each empty, cleaned room help settle any later question about the condition the house was left in.
