Why Apex Home Point
Clear it out, then clean it: one crew
We’re the Sacramento junk removal company that also cleans. Landlords, realtors and families clearing a home can book the haul-out and a move-out or deep clean together: one appointment, one invoice.
Why speed matters for landlords
California landlords have 21 days after move-out to return the deposit or send an itemized statement, and since April 2025 they must photograph the unit before and after deduction work. A one-visit turnover gets the unit cleaned and documented quickly. If more than $125 is deducted, the landlord must provide receipts for labor and materials.

Turnover checklist
What a tenant turnover covers, room by room
| Area | What we do |
|---|---|
| Whole unit | Haul out furniture, trash and belongings left behind; dust and wipe every surface; vacuum and mop all floors |
| Kitchen | Inside oven, fridge, microwave and dishwasher; inside cabinets and drawers; degrease stovetop, hood and backsplash |
| Bathrooms | Scrub tub, shower, toilet and sink; descale fixtures; clean inside vanities, mirrors and exhaust fan covers |
| Bedrooms & closets | Wipe shelves, rods and doors; clean baseboards; vacuum closets |
| Details | Light switches, outlets, door frames, window sills and tracks, blinds |
Carpet cleaning and interior windows can be added so the unit is fully ready to market.
Documentation
Photos that protect your deposit decisions
California requires landlords to photograph the unit at move-out and again after repairs or cleaning they deduct for. We take dated before-and-after photos of each room and send them with the invoice, so your file is ready if a tenant disputes a deduction.
Property managers
Working with property managers
If you manage several units, send turnovers as they come up and we’ll keep the same scope and pricing for every unit. You can give us lockbox codes and we work while the unit is empty, then send photos.
Deposit rules
Normal wear and tear vs cleaning a landlord can charge for
California landlords can deduct from a deposit for cleaning needed to return the unit to the level of cleanliness it had at move-in, and for damage beyond normal wear and tear, but not for ordinary wear from living there.
| Usually normal wear and tear | Usually chargeable |
|---|---|
| Light scuffs on walls and faded paint | Large stains, holes or crayon on walls |
| Carpet worn in traffic lanes | Pet stains, burns or tears in carpet |
| Minor scratches on floors | Deep gouges or water damage |
| Loose door handles from use | Grease-coated stove and oven, dirty fridge |
| Sun-faded blinds | Trash and belongings left behind |
Our turnover clean focuses on the chargeable items (the dirt and the leftovers) so the next tenant moves into a clean unit and your deductions are documented.
California timeline
A tenant turnover timeline that keeps you within California rules
- 1Notice received: when a tenant gives notice, remind them they can request a pre-move-out inspection in the last two weeks of the tenancy, and book the turnover clean for the day after keys are returned.
- 2Pre-move-out inspection (if requested): give the tenant an itemized list of what they can fix or clean to avoid deductions.
- 3Keys returned: photograph the unit before any repairs or cleaning.
- 4Haul-out and clean: we remove what was left behind and do the move-out clean, with dated photos of each room.
- 5Within 21 days: return the deposit or send an itemized statement, with receipts if deductions are over $125 and the required photos.
A fast turnover also means fewer vacant days. Booking the clean as soon as you get notice locks in a date before the end-of-month rush, when many leases end at once.

What to expect
How a junk pickup works, start to finish
- 1You text a photo or book a time. We reply with a price range based on how much truck space the load looks like it needs.
- 2We call or text when the crew is on the way, inside the arrival window you picked.
- 3The crew looks at everything in person and gives a firm price before anything is lifted. If it’s less than the range, you pay less; if you decide not to go ahead, there’s no charge.
- 4We carry everything out (from bedrooms, upstairs, the garage, the backyard or a storage unit) and protect doorways and floors along the way.
- 5We sweep or rake the spot where the items were, then sort the load: donation, recycling, and only what’s left goes to a licensed transfer station.
Most single-item and small-load pickups take under an hour on site. A full garage or a whole-home cleanout usually takes a few hours to a full day, depending on how much sorting you want done on the spot.
