Why Coastal Maid
Start your new chapter in a truly clean San Diego home
Buying or renting a new place in San Diego is exciting, but you never really know what the last tenant or owner left behind. Dust in the cabinets, grime under the fridge, hair in the vents, sticky residue in drawers. A move-in clean is the peace-of-mind step that turns a stranger’s space into your fresh start, with every surface sanitized before your boxes arrive.
Coastal Maid is the top-rated Latina-owned team in San Diego for move-in cleaning. Because your home is empty, our team can reach every cabinet interior, closet, appliance, and corner that would normally be blocked. We include interior of the oven, microwave, and refrigerator at no extra charge, and every visit is backed by our 100% Coastal Maid re-clean guarantee. It’s the 5-star, family-owned service San Diego trusts before day one in a new home.

When to Book
When San Diego homeowners and renters book move-in cleaning
Move-in cleaning is one of our most popular one-time services, especially in fast-moving San Diego neighborhoods with tight escrow windows and lease turnovers. Book us the day before or morning of your move-in so every surface is fresh when the boxes arrive.
New home closingEscrow just closed on your La Jolla, Del Mar, or Carmel Valley home. You want the whole house cleaned before the moving truck rolls up on Monday.
First apartmentYou’re signing your first San Diego lease and want it hotel-fresh from day one, no matter what the last tenant left behind.
Rental turnoverYou’re a property manager prepping a unit for the next tenant and need it inspection-ready and photo-worthy.
New baby, new homeBringing a newborn home means every surface needs to be truly sanitized, not just wiped. We use eco-friendly, baby-safe products.
Long-distance moveYou’re moving to San Diego from out of state and can’t inspect the home in person before your stuff arrives. We’ll send photos before and after.
Airbnb takeoverYou just bought a short-term rental and want it fully sanitized before your first guests check in.
Our Process
How our move-in cleaning works
Move-in cleaning is best booked the day before or morning of your move-in date, while the home is still completely empty and every surface is accessible.
Empty-home deep clean
Because the home is empty, our team can reach every closet, cabinet interior, appliance, and corner. Interiors, exteriors, and every high-touch surface disinfected.
Walk in fresh
You unpack into a fully sanitized home. If anything isn’t perfect, tell us within 24 hours and we return at no charge, before your furniture even arrives.
The Coastal Maid Difference
What makes our move-in cleaning different
- Empty-home advantage: we clean every cabinet interior, closet, drawer, and appliance because nothing’s in the way. Most services skip these entirely.
- Interior of oven, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher scrubbed and sanitized at no extra charge, saving you $60 to $120 in typical add-on fees.
- Every high-touch surface disinfected: light switches, doorknobs, handles, faucets, and remote-touch points across the home.
- Air vents, ceiling fans, and light fixtures dusted so day-one air is clean and free of the previous occupant’s dust and dander.
- Same-day and next-day availability for last-minute escrow closings, sudden lease starts, or urgent property manager turnovers.
- A Latina-owned, family-owned team that treats your new home like it belongs to someone we love, because to you, it does.

Reviews
What San Diego says about our move-in cleaning
★★★★★
“We closed on Friday and the Coastal Maid team was there Saturday morning. Every cabinet was scrubbed, every drawer wiped, even the inside of the oven. We literally moved boxes into a spotless home.”
Rachel & Tom, Carmel Valley★★★★★
“First apartment in San Diego. The team even cleaned inside the fridge and behind the toilet. Best $250 I spent on the whole move, and it made unpacking so much less stressful.”
Miguel A., Mission Valley★★★★★
“We PCS’d from Virginia and couldn’t inspect the rental in person. Coastal Maid sent us photos before and after. Walked into a spotless home with a clean fridge and even fresh flowers on the counter.”

San Diego Coverage
Move-in cleaning across every San Diego neighborhood
San Diego’s housing market moves fast. We handle move-in cleans across every corner of the county, from new La Jolla purchases and Del Mar closings to Downtown high-rise leases and Pacific Beach beach-house rentals. Our team coordinates directly with real estate agents, property managers, and moving companies so nothing slips through the cracks on move day.
In North County, we clean brand-new construction homes in 4S Ranch, Carmel Valley, Del Sur, Santaluz, and Rancho Santa Fe, plus older resale homes in Encinitas, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, and Carlsbad. Our team knows the difference between a builder’s handoff clean and a resale move-in clean, and we scope every job accordingly.
In South Bay we handle Chula Vista, Eastlake, Otay Ranch, Bonita, and National City move-ins constantly, especially the rapidly growing communities south of the 54. We also work regularly with military relocations at Coronado, Point Loma, and Camp Pendleton area rentals, coordinating around PCS timelines and out-of-state moves.

FAQ
Frequently asked about move-in cleaning
When should I book my move-in cleaning?
Ideally, schedule us the day before or the morning of your move-in so every surface is fresh when your boxes arrive. Same-day rush is available if needed.
Can you clean inside empty cabinets and closets?
Yes. Empty spaces are one of the biggest wins with move-in cleaning, so we hand-wipe every interior surface, including drawers, pantries, and built-in shelving.
Do you clean inside appliances?
Yes, move-in cleaning always includes interior of the oven, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher at no extra charge. Freezer interior is available as an add-on.
Can you coordinate with my real estate agent or property manager?
Absolutely. We regularly work with agents, brokers, and property managers to hand off keys and schedule around closings, walkthroughs, and inspections.
Do you offer photo documentation?
Yes, on request. Photo documentation is popular with long-distance move-ins, rental turnovers, and property managers who want proof of the finished clean.
Are your products safe for babies and pets?
Yes. Every product we use is non-toxic and safe for children, babies, and pets, which matters most on that first day in a new home.
