Montevallo is a small town built around a university. The University of Montevallo campus runs right into Main Street, and most of the rental houses, duplexes and small apartment buildings in town lease to its students. When leases end in late July, nearly all of them empty within days, and the owners and managers who hold that housing get a short window to make every bedroom, bathroom and kitchen ready for the next lease.
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 and owners in Montevallo and the south Shelby County towns around it, so you are not spending August in a rubber glove.
Two mass turns a year, planned before the rush
Summer turn
Leases around the University of Montevallo roll over from late July into mid August, and most of the town's rental housing 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.
Turns sized to your portfolio
Montevallo housing is mostly small portfolios: a dozen houses, a few duplexes, one apartment building. We turn those on the same schedule as a large community, and when a bigger property comes due all at once we bring enough crews to run several buildings in parallel and hold your move in date. A Squeaky Clean Team lead is assigned to your turn from the first walkthrough to the last photo report.
Who we work with in Montevallo
- Owners of rental houses, duplexes and cottages near campus
- Property management companies with student and conventional housing

Student housing areas we cover
Student housing in Montevallo sits within walking distance of campus. We turn units along Main Street, Highway 25 and Highway 119, in the neighborhoods north and west of campus, and in the apartment communities on the edge of town. Many students commute from Alabaster, Calera and Pelham along Highway 31 and Interstate 65, and the apartment communities in those towns are part of the same service area, as is housing that serves Jefferson State Community College's Shelby campus in Hoover.

How we run a turn for your property
1. Walk the property and count units
We walk your units with you, confirm the count and the floor plans, and send a written scope with a flat price per floor plan.
2. Build the schedule with your team
Units are sequenced around your move out dates, your maintenance work, 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 unit by unit. Your assigned lead is on site 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 Montevallo: common questions
We only have a few rental houses. Is that too small for you?
No. Much of the student housing in Montevallo is small portfolios, and we turn them on the same schedule and with the same photo reports as a large community. Pricing is per unit by floor plan.
When should we book the summer turn in Montevallo?
As early as you can. Leases around the University of Montevallo mostly roll over from late July into mid August, and we want to walk the units and confirm floor plans well 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.
Do you serve Alabaster, Calera and Pelham?
Yes. South Shelby County is part of the same service area as Montevallo, and our Birmingham and Hoover crews already work there.
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.
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, studios and athletic facilities on a nightly, weekly or custom schedule.
