Jacksonville, Alabama is a university town in Calhoun County, and most of its rental housing runs on the Jacksonville State University calendar. When leases end in late July the apartment communities along Pelham Road and the rental houses around campus empty within days, and a property manager has a short window to get every bedroom, bathroom and kitchen ready for the next lease. Much of the housing here was rebuilt after the 2018 tornado, so owners expect newer units to be turned to a high standard.
Squeaky Clean Team is a commercial cleaning and janitorial company with 60+ vetted cleaners. We carry the cleaning side of the turn for property managers in Jacksonville so your leasing and maintenance staff can stay on their own work.
Two mass turns a year, planned before the rush
Summer turn
Leases around Jacksonville State roll over from late July into mid August, and most of the housing along Pelham Road turns in the same week. We staff up ahead of time and run buildings in the order your move in schedule needs.
Winter turn
The December and early January turn is smaller but tighter, and it lands on holiday weeks when your own staff is thin. We cover it so spring move ins are ready without pulling your maintenance team off repairs.
Mass turns, planned before the rush
When every unit on a rent roll comes 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. After residents are in, the same crews can keep your leasing office, clubhouse, fitness room and hallways clean on a recurring schedule.

Student housing areas we cover
Jacksonville State sits on the north side of town along Pelham Road, which is Highway 21, and most student housing lines that corridor from campus south toward Weaver. We turn units in the apartment communities along Pelham Road, on the side streets off Mountain Street and Nisbet Street near campus, and in the rental houses in the older neighborhoods around the square. The communities toward Weaver and Alexandria are part of the same work.
Anniston and Oxford, about ten miles south, house a large share of commuting students along with renters tied to the Anniston Army Depot and the Regional Medical Center, and we turn units there as well.
What every unit turn includes
- Full kitchen clean, inside appliances, cabinets and drawers
- Every bathroom scrubbed, descaled and disinfected
- Each bedroom cleaned on its own for leases signed by the bed
- Blinds, baseboards, doors and switch plates
- Floors vacuumed and mopped, carpet spots treated
- Closets, shelving and window tracks
- Balcony, patio and entry
- A photo report of the finished unit sent to your office
Turns are priced per unit by floor plan. See the full service on our apartment and student housing turns page.
How we run a turn for your property
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 carpet vendors. Cleaners enter a unit only when it has been released for final clean.
3. Turn the units
Crews work the schedule building by building. Your assigned lead is on site every day and is your one point of contact.
4. Photo proof and punch list
Every finished unit gets a photo report. If a unit does not pass your inspection, we come back and fix it at no charge before move in.

Student housing cleaning in Jacksonville: common questions
Is this Jacksonville, Alabama or Jacksonville, Florida?
Jacksonville, Alabama, the home of Jacksonville State University in Calhoun County. We do not serve Jacksonville, Florida.
Can you turn a whole student property in Jacksonville in one window?
Yes. We plan the turn with your staff weeks ahead, scale the crew to your unit count and dates, and assign a lead to your property for the length of the turn.
When should we book the summer turn?
As early as you can. Leases around Jacksonville State mostly roll over from late July into mid August, and we want to walk the property and confirm floor plans well before move out week.

Do you serve Anniston, Oxford and Weaver?
Yes. All of Calhoun County is part of the same service area, including housing that serves commuting students, the Anniston Army Depot and the Regional Medical Center.
