Dothan is a commuter college town, which changes what a turn looks like. There are no high rise student towers, but there are apartment communities, duplexes and rental houses that fill every August with Troy University Dothan and Wallace Community College students, medical students and residents at the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine, and young people posted to Fort Novosel. Their leases line up, and the property manager gets a short window to make every unit ready.
Squeaky Clean Team is a commercial cleaning and janitorial company with 60+ vetted cleaners. We turn units at scale for property managers in Dothan and provide recurring janitorial service for campus and training facilities, so your staff can stay on leasing and repairs.
Two mass turns a year, planned before the rush
Summer turn
Dothan's campuses start fall classes in August, and the communities that lease to students and to medical residents turn over in the same few weeks. We staff the window ahead of time and work buildings in the order your move in schedule calls for.
Winter turn
The December and early January turn is smaller but lands on holiday weeks, when your own staff is thin. We cover it so vacant units are ready for spring move ins without pulling your maintenance team off repairs.
Turns at scale, then the common areas
When a property has dozens of units coming due in the same week, we bring enough crews to run several buildings at once and hold your move in date. A Squeaky Clean Team lead is assigned to your property for the whole turn. Once residents are in, the same crews can keep your leasing office, clubhouse, fitness room and laundry rooms clean on a recurring schedule.

Where Dothan students live
Troy University Dothan sits on the north side off Highway 231, and the apartment communities along Montgomery Highway and Westgate Parkway draw many of its students. Wallace Community College is on Napier Field Road, with renters spread through the north and west sides of the city. Students and residents at the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine cluster near Southeast Health and the medical offices along Ross Clark Circle. We turn units across all of it, plus the communities on the south side toward Headland Avenue and the Circle.
Enterprise, Ozark and Daleville are part of the same service area, where much of the housing serves Fort Novosel and Enterprise State Community College.

How a turn is run
1. Walk the property and count units
We walk your floor plans with you, confirm unit and bed counts, and send a written scope with a flat price per floor plan.
2. Build the schedule with your team
Buildings are sequenced around your move out dates, your maintenance crew, and your paint and flooring vendors. Cleaners enter a unit only after it is released for final clean.
3. Turn the units
Crews are scaled to the window and work building by building. Your assigned lead is on the property every day of the turn and is your one point of contact.
4. Photo proof and punch list
Every finished unit gets a photo report. If a unit fails your inspection, we clean it again at no charge before the resident arrives.

Student housing cleaning in Dothan: common questions
Do you handle turns for properties that are not strictly student housing?
Yes. In Dothan most of the communities that lease to students also lease to medical residents, military families and workforce renters. We turn any multifamily property, priced per unit by floor plan.
When should we book the summer turn in Dothan?
As early as you can. Most student leases line up with the August start of classes, and we want to walk the property and confirm floor plans before move out week.
How is turn cleaning priced?
Per unit, by floor plan. Bedroom and bathroom count drive the number. After a free walkthrough you get a written scope and a price for each floor plan.
What proof do we get that a unit is finished?
A photo report for every unit, sent to your office. If a unit does not pass your inspection, we clean it again at no charge.
Do you serve Enterprise, Ozark and Daleville?
Yes. The Wiregrass towns around Fort Novosel are part of the same service area as Dothan, including housing that serves Enterprise State Community College.
Can the same company clean our campus buildings during the year?
Yes. The crews that turn units also provide recurring janitorial service for classrooms, offices, student centers and training facilities on a nightly, weekly or custom schedule.
