Snowbird & Seasonal Home Care
An empty house doesn't hold still. Air stops moving, humidity settles in, and dust finds the surfaces you covered on the way out. We handle the whole cycle. The close-down visit strips the beds, empties and props the fridge, clears the pantry of anything that draws pests, and runs the taps so the drain traps don't dry out. Then we check in on a schedule while you're gone and send a photo report each time. Before you fly back, we run a deep clean timed to your arrival, so you land, unlock the door, and the house is ready for company that night.

Your snowbird care checklist
The same checklist every visit. That includes the spots your Mother-in-Law checks on her way to the kitchen, and the ones she'd never admit she checked.
- Close-down visit: beds stripped, fridge emptied and propped
- Pantry cleared of anything that draws pests
- Taps run so the drain traps don't dry out
- Scheduled check-ins while the house sits empty
- Photo report sent to you after every visit
- Pre-arrival deep clean timed to your travel date
What an empty house does over a season
A house closed up through a warm, humid summer comes back different. Mildew finds the grout and the shower track, the air goes stale, and coastal homes pick up salt film on the door glass. The pre-arrival clean is what saves you the first week back.
We'll price this to your home
Snowbird Care depends on the size of the job and the shape it's in, so we look at it directly rather than guess. Tell us about your place and a clear, flat number comes back fast. You approve it before anyone touches a surface. Then we clean it to the standard your Mother-in-Law would, the one where she runs a finger along the trim and finds nothing.

The same crew every visit, working a written room-by-room list, and one bar to clear: the fan blade, the shower track, the baseboard she would run a finger along.
