Make-Ready Cleaning Cost

Apartment make-ready cleaning in Dallas–Fort Worth typically runs about $150 to $400 per unit for a standard turn, depending on unit size and condition. Studios and one-bedrooms sit at the low end; larger or heavily soiled units, and post-construction or deep cleans, run higher. Pricing is quoted per unit, and volume communities earn better per-unit rates.

What affects make-ready cleaning cost

• Unit size — square footage and number of bathrooms
• Condition — a normal turn vs. heavy soil, pet damage or smoke
• Scope — standard make-ready vs. deep or post-construction clean
• Carpet care — adding shampoo/extraction
• Volume — ongoing, multi-unit communities earn better per-unit rates
• Turnaround — same-day rush turns during peak season
