• Add-ons: inside oven, inside fridge, interior windows, carpet steam cleaning
• Condition: heavily soiled, pets, or post-renovation dust adds 25-50%
• Empty vs. furnished (clean after movers leave, not before)
• Timing/urgency around move-out and lease-end deadlines

Licensing and permits in Ohio

Move-out cleaning is unlicensed work in both the US and Canada; look for a cleaner or company that is bonded and insured rather than state/provincial-licensed.

Ohio has no single statewide permit office — residential building permits are issued by local, state-certified building departments (city, county, or township), which enforce the Ohio Building Code / Residential Code of Ohio under oversight from the Ohio Board of Building Standards; homeowners should check with their own city or county building department for local rules and fees. In Columbus, permits come from the City of Columbus Department of Building and Zoning Services (BZS).

Tax: Labor to improve real property is generally NOT taxable — a contractor performing a 'construction contract' (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, remodeling that becomes part of the structure) doesn't charge sales tax on labor, though the contractor itself owes tax as the 'consumer' of materials and certain taxable services used on the job; by contrast, repair/installation labor on tangible personal property (appliances, HVAC equipment before install, vehicles, machinery) IS taxable and the provider must charge sales tax on that labor.

Best time to book in Columbus

Demand and prices peak with moving season (May-September, highest in August); booking outside peak summer months or a few weeks ahead gets better rates and availability. Peak demand: May, June, July, August and September. Typical job length: 2-6 hours.

DIY or pro? DIY is realistic for a small apartment you've kept in decent shape ($30–$70 in supplies, most of a weekend); hire a pro when a security deposit or landlord walkthrough is on the line.
