Fill out the Request a Quote form on our website with information about your property and the service you need. Accurate details and photos, when available, help us provide the most accurate quote.
Are estimates free?
Yes. There is no charge to request an estimate from Lake City Shine.
Can my quoted price change?
Your quote is based on the information provided and the expected condition of the property. Excessive buildup, trash, pet waste, nicotine residue, heavy grease, or other undisclosed conditions may require additional work. We will communicate with you before adding additional charges.
Scheduling & Appointments
How do I schedule a cleaning?
You can request service through our website or contact Lake City Shine directly. Once we confirm the scope of work, price, date, and arrival information, your cleaning can be placed on our schedule.
How far in advance should I schedule?
We recommend scheduling as early as possible, especially for move-outs, turnovers, and larger projects. Last-minute openings may also become available.
Do you offer same-day or next-day cleaning?
When our schedule allows it, yes. Contact us and we will let you know the earliest availability.
How will I know my appointment is confirmed?
Your appointment is confirmed once Lake City Shine has agreed to the service date, scope, and pricing with you. Submitting a quote request by itself does not automatically reserve an appointment.
Can I reschedule or cancel?
Yes. Please contact us as soon as possible if your plans change. Late cancellations or appointments where we arrive but cannot access the property may be subject to a cancellation or trip charge.
Do I need to be home while you clean?
No. Many customers provide access and return after the cleaning is completed. Access arrangements can be made before your appointment.
How long will my cleaning take?
It depends on the size, condition, and scope of the property. We prioritize completing the agreed-upon work properly rather than rushing to meet an exact completion time.
Payment
What payment methods do you accept?
Lake City Shine offers convenient payment options, including electronic payment. Available payment methods will be provided with your payment request.
When is payment due?
Unless another arrangement has been approved in advance, payment is due upon completion of your cleaning.
Can I pay online?
Yes. We can provide a secure electronic payment link for convenient online payment.
Do you provide receipts and invoices?
Yes. Receipts are provided for payments, and professional invoices are available upon request.
Do commercial customers have different payment arrangements?
They can. Approved commercial customers, contractors, and property-management clients may have invoicing or payment arrangements established in advance.
Are tips required?
No. Tips are never required. If you believe your cleaner did an exceptional job, tips are appreciated but completely optional.
Preparing for Your Cleaning
Do I need to provide cleaning supplies?
No. Lake City Shine brings the cleaning products, supplies, and equipment necessary to complete the agreed-upon service.
What should I do with my pets?
Lake City Shine is pet friendly! Friendly pets do not need to be locked up or removed while we clean. However, doors may need to be opened while our team is entering, leaving, or bringing equipment in and out. Lake City Shine is not responsible for pets that escape or run away during service. If your pet may try to get outside or is uncomfortable around unfamiliar people, vacuums, or cleaning equipment, we recommend securing them in a safe area.
Do I need running water and electricity?
Yes. Unless specifically arranged otherwise, the property should have working electricity and running water so we can properly perform the cleaning.
Should my refrigerator and freezer be emptied?
Yes, if interior refrigerator or freezer cleaning is included. Please remove food and personal items before our arrival whenever possible.
Move-In, Move-Out & Turnovers
Do you specialize in move-in and move-out cleaning?
Yes. Move-in, move-out, and unit-turnover cleaning are some of Lake City Shine’s primary specialties.
What can a move-out cleaning include?
Depending on the agreed scope, move-out cleaning can include kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, floors, baseboards, interior windows and sills, cabinets and drawers, appliances, doors, switches, handles, and other commonly overlooked areas.
Do you clean inside ovens, refrigerators, cabinets and drawers?
Yes. Interior appliance, cabinet, and drawer cleaning can be included with applicable move-in, move-out, turnover, and deep-cleaning services.
Do you work with property managers and landlords?
Yes. We offer turnover cleaning and other cleaning services for landlords, apartment communities, and property-management companies, including multiple-unit needs.
Commercial & Specialty Services
Do you clean offices and commercial properties?
Yes. We provide cleaning for offices, storefronts, clinics, property-management facilities, common areas, and other commercial properties. Recurring schedules may be available.
Do you provide post-construction cleaning?
Yes. We work with contractors, businesses, property owners, and property managers on post-construction and post-renovation cleaning.
Can you provide a W-9 and proof of insurance?
Yes. Business documentation can be provided to commercial clients and contractors when required.
Do you offer pressure washing and exterior window cleaning?
Yes. Pressure washing is available for appropriate exterior surfaces, and exterior window cleaning can be scheduled as a standalone service or added to other services.
Do you offer carpet, upholstery, wall or odor cleaning?
Yes. These services are available depending on the material, condition, and source of the issue. Heavy nicotine, smoke residue, odor, or excessive buildup may require specialized cleaning and additional charges.
Policies & Guarantee
Are you insured?
Yes. Lake City Shine Cleaning Solutions LLC carries business insurance. Documentation can be provided when appropriate.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. We back our work 100%. If you have a concern about your completed cleaning, contact us within 24 hours so we have an opportunity to review it and make it right.
How long do I have to report a problem?
All cleaning-related concerns must be reported within 24 hours of service.
What if something is accidentally damaged?
Contact us as soon as possible. We will document and review the situation and determine the appropriate next steps based on the circumstances.
Are there things you will not clean?
For the safety of our customers and employees, we reserve the right to decline work involving unsafe conditions or materials that require specialized remediation or licensing.
What happens if hazardous materials or unsafe conditions are discovered?
We may stop or avoid an affected area if it presents a health or safety risk. Some situations require a specialized remediation company rather than a standard cleaning service.
