On the island the moving truck and the cleaning crew are competing for the same ferry, and that is the whole scheduling problem. The workable sequence is truck out on one sailing, crew in on the next — trying to overlap them costs a day rather than saving one.
About Burton
Burton sits on the narrow neck of Vashon Island above Quartermaster Harbor, and everything about working here is shaped by the ferry. A crew arrives on a boat, works a block of hours, and leaves on a boat — there is no running back for a forgotten machine. Homes here are mostly older, many of them summer houses that were slowly converted to full-time living, which means original fixtures and surfaces that have taken decades of salt air.
What move-in & move-out cleaning covers
A move-out clean has a specific audience: the person holding your deposit, or the tenant walking in tomorrow. Both of them open the same drawers and look in the same corners.
Heritage cleans empty units end to end — inside every cabinet and closet, inside the appliances, the tracks, the blinds, the baseboards. Because the space is unfurnished, we get to the surfaces that are permanently covered in an occupied home.
We handle both directions. Moving out, we clean to the condition report. Moving in, we clean before your furniture arrives, so the place is genuinely yours from the first night instead of something you inherited.

Common questions
When should the unit be cleaned?
After the last box is out and before the walkthrough. An empty unit cleans faster, cleans better, and does not need a second visit for the closet the movers were still using.
Will this get my deposit back?
Cleaning is the part of a deposit inspection we control, and we clean to that standard. Damage, paint, and repairs are a separate conversation with your landlord — we will not pretend otherwise.
Do you clean the garage, patio, or storage unit?
We can. They are priced separately because they are usually a different kind of work — sweeping, cobwebs, and oil rather than surfaces. Mention them when you request the quote.
How much notice do you need?
A few days is comfortable. End of month is the busiest window in every city we serve, so if your lease ends on the 31st, ask early.
