What 2 Halifax pre-sale cleans look like
Since October 2025 our crews have prepared 2 homes for sale in Halifax, cleaning 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 2 kitchens; 100% of them had appliances cleaned inside and out.
Buyers judge a home in the first minute of a showing and in the first photo online. Our real estate cleaning company work top-down — light fixtures, ledges, cupboards inside and out, kitchens degreased, bathrooms descaled, glass and stainless streak-free — and finish the entry last, so the home is ready for photos, showings and the final walk-through.
We cover all of Halifax, plus nearby Fall River, Beaver Bank, Upper Sackville. The pre sale cleaning cost is built room by room from fixed prices — see the table below, with payment before or after service.

Inside cupboards, closets and appliances buyers open, baseboards, light fixtures, window tracks and glass, and a streak-free finish on stainless, mirrors and fixtures for photos.
Do I need to empty the house first?
No — we clean around furniture and staging. Clear counters and personal items first so surfaces can be cleaned and photographed.

Yes — book a move-out clean for the final walk-through; many sellers book both.
How do I pay?
Payment can be made before the service or after the work is completed, depending on your preferred payment option.
