          Our Process

          Organize & Declutter

          Our cleaning services ensure your home looks and feels spotless. We focus on kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and every detail in between, leaving your home fresh and ready to impress. (Carpet and window cleaning are available through trusted local contractors.)

          Stage Your Home

          Finally, we transform your lived-in home into a beautifully presented space. Using the furniture, décor, and layout you already have, we optimize each room to appeal to buyers or simply create a space you’ll love to live in.
