Tuskegee University is the largest employer in Macon County and the reason most of its rental housing exists. Its campus sits on the west side of town along Old Montgomery Road, and most of the rental houses, duplexes and apartment buildings in Tuskegee lease to its students, graduate students and staff. 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 and a team lead based in Auburn, twenty minutes up Interstate 85. We bring a crew to Tuskegee for the turn 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 Tuskegee University 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 units 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
Housing in Tuskegee ranges from a handful of rental houses to apartment communities built for students. We turn all of it on one schedule, and when a bigger property comes due 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.

Student housing areas we cover
Student housing in Tuskegee sits between campus and downtown and along the main roads out of town. We turn units along Old Montgomery Road and Montgomery Road, which is Highway 80, in the neighborhoods around campus and the square, and in the apartment communities near the Interstate 85 interchange. Notasulga, Shorter and the rest of Macon County are part of the same service area, along with housing that serves the Veterans Affairs medical center on the east side of town.
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
- Porch, 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 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 Tuskegee: common questions
Do you really send crews to Tuskegee?
Yes. Tuskegee is served from our Auburn team, about twenty minutes up Interstate 85, with a team lead based in Auburn. For a turn we group units into full days so the drive never slows the schedule.
We only have a few rental houses. Is that too small for you?
No. Much of the student housing in Tuskegee 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?
As early as you can. Leases around Tuskegee University 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.
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 and athletic facilities on a nightly, weekly or custom schedule.
