Specialty Cleaningfor Neglected Properties — and for Homeowners Who Want the Most Detailed Clean We Offer
Two branches under one service. Heavy-duty property cleanup for smoke residue, neglected units, post-tenant messes, and rental turnover recovery — and premium whole-home detail cleaning for regular homeowners who want vents, fixtures, trim, cabinets, and detail areas handled at a much deeper level than a standard deep clean.
Specialty Cleaning is for neglected properties, post-tenant messes, and homeowners who want the most detailed clean we offer. This is for jobs that need more time, more detail, and more hands-on work than a standard deep clean.
Not every specialty clean is a trashed property. Some are well-kept homes where the owner wants vents, fixtures, trim, cabinets, and detail areas handled at a much deeper level. Both fall under Specialty because both need expanded scope, more labor, and a custom quote — not a standard deep-clean tier.
Who Specialty CleanupIs Built For
Specialty cleanup is sized and priced for property professionals and homeowners dealing with heavier-than-normal conditions.
Landlords
Recovering rental units between tenants, before listing, or after extended damage.
Property managers
Rental turnover recovery, neglected units, and post-tenant cleanup across a portfolio.
Real estate investors
Restoring property condition before showing, listing, or reoccupancy.
Realtors
Pre-listing resets for properties that need more than a normal deep clean.
Homeowners
Two paths: dealing with neglected conditions, smoke residue, or heavy buildup at home — OR a well-kept home where the owner wants vents, fixtures, trim, cabinets, and detail areas handled at a much deeper level than a standard deep clean.
Small commercial property owners
Smaller commercial spaces that need heavy-duty cleaning rather than recurring janitorial.
Two types of Specialty Cleaning
Both branches are custom quoted, both involve expanded scope and labor, and both sit above standard deep cleaning. The right one depends on the property condition and what you want done.
Branch 1
Heavy-Duty Property Cleanup
For properties in heavier-than-normal condition. The work is more physical, more time-intensive, and often needs stronger products and more time on-site than a standard deep clean.
For:
- Neglected apartments and units
- Post-tenant messes
- Squatter / unauthorized occupancy situations
- Smoke and nicotine residue cleaning
- Heavy buildup in kitchens and bathrooms
- Rental turnover recovery
Branch 2
Premium Whole-Home Detail Clean
For well-kept homes where the owner wants vents, fixtures, trim, cabinets, and detail areas handled at a much deeper level than a standard or Ultimate Deep Clean. A premium, custom-quoted whole-home reset.
For:
- Homeowners who want an extremely detailed reset
- Larger homes needing top-to-bottom detail work
- Seasonal or pre-listing whole-home resets
- Moving into a home and wanting it deeply reset
- High-end residential detail cleaning
What a Premium Whole-Home Detail Clean can include
Every premium detail clean is custom quoted because labor, access, condition, and selected detail items vary heavily. The list below is what we most often include — your scope is confirmed before the job.
- Remove and wash accessible vent covers where safely accessible
- Clean return covers where safely accessible
- Remove and clean safely accessible light fixtures where appropriate
- Detailed baseboards, trim, doors, and door frames
- Cabinet and drawer interiors if emptied or selected
- Detailed appliance-area cleaning
- Hard-surface steam-cleaning capability where appropriate
- High and low dusting
- Ceiling fans
- Blinds and shutters where appropriate
- Interior windows and tracks if selected
- Laundry room, utility room, and finished basement detail if selected
- Wall spot-cleaning where appropriate
Detail items like vents, ceiling fans, and light fixtures are cleaned where safely accessible and appropriate. We do not perform electrical, HVAC, restoration, or remediation work — when something requires removal or repair beyond cleaning, we let you know before the job and adjust scope together.
What we typically clean on heavy-duty jobs
Every specialty cleanup is scoped to the property. The list below covers the work we most often see on the heavy-duty branch — your job may include some, all, or additional items we review during scoping.
- Smoke and nicotine residue cleaning
- Neglected apartments and units
- Post-tenant messes
- Squatter / unauthorized occupancy situations
- Rental turnover recovery
- Heavy buildup kitchens and bathrooms
- Odor-source cleaning
- Wall, baseboard, cabinet, door, trim, and hard-surface cleaning where appropriate
What affects pricing
Specialty Cleaning is custom quoted. Because these jobs can involve all-day labor, expanded detail work, specialty tools, and multiple cleaners, they are often priced well above a standard deep clean.
Smaller specialty jobs can still vary, but many full-scope specialty/detail cleans can reach $1,000+ depending on home size, condition, access, and selected detail items. Most jobs are custom quoted after we review photos or do a walkthrough.
How specialty cleanupworks at Star Pro
A simple, scoped process designed to price the job accurately before anyone steps on site.
Send photos or request a walkthrough
Text photos to (262) 777-0461 or submit the form below with a description of the situation. Wide shots plus close-ups of buildup, residue, and odor sources are most helpful.
Scope review
We review what you sent, ask clarifying questions, and identify anything that needs a qualified specialty provider before cleaning can start.
Custom quote
You get a written, scoped quote — labor, materials, timeline, and any clear exclusions. No guesswork, no anchored deep-clean price for a heavy-duty job.
Cleanup plan
Once approved, we confirm access, timing, key handling, parking, and any coordination with painters, contractors, or your next tenant.
Completion and walkthrough
We complete the job, walk it with you (or send final photos when remote), and hand off a property that's ready for paint, turnover, listing, or reoccupancy.
What specialty cleanup is not
Star Pro does not advertise or perform regulated, hazardous, or biohazard cleanup. The list below is intentionally explicit so property owners get the right provider for the right job.
- ×Biohazard cleanup
- ×Blood or body fluid cleanup
- ×Crime scene cleanup
- ×Sewage cleanup
- ×Meth lab cleanup
- ×Severe mold remediation
- ×Asbestos cleanup
- ×Lead dust cleanup
- ×Hazardous chemical cleanup
- ×Regulated waste / medical waste
- ×Sharps and needles
- ×Pest infestation cleanup
Some hazardous, regulated, biohazard, pest-related, mold, sewage, chemical, or specialty-disposal situations may require a qualified provider before cleaning can begin. If you're unsure whether your situation fits specialty cleanup, send photos or call us and we'll tell you straight.
Wider radius than standard residential
Specialty cleanup can justify a wider service area than our standard residential cleaning because higher-ticket scope can justify the drive time.
Based in New Berlin, Wisconsin — routinely serving specialty jobs across Waukesha County, Milwaukee County, and select surrounding areas depending on scope.
Request Specialty Cleaning Quote
Tell us whether this is a heavy-duty cleanup or a premium detail clean.

The more detail you can share — wide shots, close-ups of buildup, residue, or odor sources — the more accurate the quote.
