Pre-Listing Cleaning — Terms & Limitations

Purpose of Service
Pre-Listing Cleaning is intended to prepare an occupied or recently occupied home for real estate photography, showings, and listing. This service focuses on improving the overall cleanliness and presentation of the home and is not a restoration, remediation, or specialty cleaning service.

Standard Service Includes:
Cleaning and sanitizing kitchen countertops, sinks, and accessible surfaces; exterior cleaning of cabinets and appliances; bathroom cleaning and sanitizing; dusting accessible surfaces; cleaning mirrors; wiping doors, trim, baseboards, light switches, and other commonly touched surfaces as needed; vacuuming carpeted areas; sweeping and mopping hard floors; removing accessible cobwebs; and general detail cleaning throughout the home.

Limitations & Conditions:

• Pricing assumes the home is in average residential condition. Excessive dirt, grease, pet hair, smoke residue, hard-water buildup, or other heavy cleaning may result in additional charges with customer approval.

• Home should be reasonably decluttered before arrival. Our team will clean around personal belongings but does not provide organizing, packing, or decluttering unless specifically quoted.

• Furniture and heavy appliances will not be moved. Cleaning will be performed around and underneath items where reasonably accessible.

• Interior cabinets, drawers, refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, and other appliances are not included unless specifically added to the service.

• Interior and exterior window cleaning is not included unless specifically quoted. Normal cleaning of mirrors and accessible glass surfaces is included.

• High areas requiring specialty ladders or equipment are excluded unless specifically quoted.

• We do not remove hazardous materials, animal/human waste, needles, chemicals, mold, biohazards, pest infestations, or other unsafe materials.

• Cleaning does not guarantee removal of permanent stains, discoloration, etched surfaces, paint damage, mineral deposits, odors, or other conditions that cannot reasonably be corrected through normal cleaning.

• Minor trash generated during cleaning will be bagged. Bulk trash, furniture, construction debris, or junk removal is not included.

• Construction dust, drywall dust, paint overspray, adhesive, caulk, grout haze, and similar materials are considered post-construction cleaning and may require separate pricing.

• Customer is responsible for providing working electricity, running water, and reasonable access to all areas being cleaned.

• Roman Home Maintenance is not responsible for pre-existing damage or deterioration revealed during cleaning.

• Final pricing may be adjusted before work begins if the property's actual condition or requested scope differs substantially from the information provided when the service was scheduled.

Important: Pre-Listing Cleaning is designed to make the property clean and presentable for listing. It does not guarantee that a home will meet a specific real estate agent, buyer, inspector, photographer, or brokerage's cleanliness standards.

1-Week Post-Move-In Cleaning — Terms & Limitations

I'd actually market this as Post-Move Reset Cleaning and describe it as being performed approximately 5–10 days after move-in. That gives you more scheduling flexibility than promising exactly seven days.

Purpose of Service
Post-Move Reset Cleaning is designed for homes that have recently been occupied following a move. The service addresses the normal dust, dirt, footprints, fingerprints, packing debris, and general mess that accumulates while moving and unpacking.

Standard Service Includes:
Cleaning kitchen countertops, sinks, exterior cabinet surfaces and appliance exteriors; cleaning and sanitizing bathrooms; dusting accessible surfaces; wiping commonly touched surfaces; cleaning mirrors; spot cleaning accessible doors, trim, and baseboards as needed; vacuuming carpets; sweeping and mopping hard floors; removing accessible cobwebs; and general cleaning of occupied living areas.

Limitations & Conditions:

• Service is intended for normal post-move household cleaning, not a full deep cleaning or post-construction cleaning.

• Pricing assumes the home has been substantially moved into and normal access is available to the areas being cleaned.

• Our team will clean around furniture, boxes, and personal belongings. Unpacking, organizing, moving boxes, assembling furniture, and putting belongings away are not included.

• Large amounts of cardboard, packing material, furniture, or moving debris are not included in standard cleaning or trash removal.

• Furniture, appliances, loaded shelving, and other heavy objects will not be moved.

• Areas blocked by boxes, furniture, or personal belongings may be skipped if they cannot be safely accessed.

• Interior cabinets and drawers are excluded once belongings have been placed inside unless specifically quoted.

• Interior refrigerators, ovens, and other appliances are excluded unless specifically added.

• Interior/exterior window cleaning is excluded unless specifically quoted.

• Excessive dirt, pet hair, stains, grease, smoke residue, or conditions beyond normal move-in mess may require additional charges.

• Construction/remodeling debris and dust are excluded. If contractors have recently performed drywall, sanding, flooring, painting, cabinetry, or other construction work, post-construction cleaning pricing may apply.

• We do not handle mold, biohazards, pest infestations, animal/human waste, hazardous chemicals, or other unsafe materials.

• Customer must provide working electricity, running water, and reasonable access to the home.

• Roman Home Maintenance is not responsible for pre-existing scratches, stains, broken items, loose fixtures, damaged finishes, or other conditions discovered during cleaning.

• Permanent staining, discoloration, odors, mineral deposits, scratches, or damage are not guaranteed to be removable.

• Final pricing may be adjusted before work begins if the actual condition or scope is substantially different from what was represented when scheduled.

Timing: Post-Move Reset Cleaning should generally be scheduled 5–10 days after move-in. The customer does not need to be completely unpacked, but areas that remain inaccessible due to boxes or belongings cannot be guaranteed to be cleaned.
