Rental Property Refresh Services in St. Louis
Get your rental property back on the market faster — one appointment, one vendor, a property that's ready to lease.
One appointment. Two services. A property that's ready to market.
Every qualifying Rental Property Refresh includes:
- Professional exterior cleaning
- Updated professional exterior photographs
- Before-and-after documentation
- Ready-to-use images for rental listings and owner reporting
Instead of scheduling an exterior cleaning company and then finding a photographer, we combine both into one coordinated visit.
Preparing a rental property for the next tenant involves dozens of small decisions — cleaning, repairs, landscaping, photos, marketing, showings. One detail that's often overlooked is the property's exterior.
Prospective tenants form an opinion long before they walk through the front door. They see the online photos first. Then they pull into the driveway. If the exterior still looks tired, stained, or neglected, the property starts the showing at a disadvantage.
Our Rental Property Refresh service is designed to solve that problem. We professionally clean the property's exterior and provide updated exterior photography during the same visit, so your marketing reflects the improvements immediately. One appointment. One vendor. A property that's ready to lease.

Example of completed-work documentation — the same standard applied to every Rental Property Refresh.
What's included
Exterior cleaning
As needed: house washing, soft washing, driveway cleaning, sidewalk cleaning, front entry cleaning, and patio cleaning. We recommend only the services that will have the greatest visual impact — see the full pressure washing services in South County →
Updated marketing photography
After cleaning is complete, we capture professional exterior photographs — typically three front exterior images and three rear exterior images, when applicable. Ready to use for rental listings, property management websites, owner updates, and marketing materials. No second appointment required. See more on exterior photos for rental listings →
Before-and-after documentation
Professional before-and-after photos make it easy to show owners the completed work, document property improvements, track maintenance over time, and demonstrate value.
Why this is different
Most companies finish the cleaning and leave. Then someone has to schedule a photographer. By the time the photos are updated, days may have passed. We eliminate that extra step — our goal isn't simply to leave you with a cleaner property. It's to leave you with a property that's ready to be marketed.
Why first impressions matter
Prospective tenants make decisions quickly. The property's online photos influence whether they schedule a showing. The property's exterior influences how they feel when they arrive. A cleaner exterior combined with updated photography creates consistency between the online listing and the in-person experience.
Here's a pattern we hear often: the property gets showings. People walk through. Then nothing. The feedback you get back is vague — "not the right fit," "going to keep looking" — and you're left guessing. Often, no one tells you the real reason, because it's awkward to say out loud: the algae on the siding, the stained walkway, the driveway that looks neglected. Small cleaning issues don't usually kill a showing outright. They just quietly tip a close decision toward someone else's listing.

Find out what's quietly costing you tenants
Every day a rental sits empty costs money. If the reason a showing didn't convert isn't obvious from the feedback, it's easy to keep guessing instead of fixing it. A short walkthrough is usually enough to tell you exactly what's working against the listing — and just as importantly, what isn't worth touching.
Reach out and we'll walk the exterior together, point out anything we think is hurting the showing, and give you a straight answer on what's actually worth fixing before the next tenant comes through.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can a property be turned around?
Most single properties are cleaned and photographed in one visit. Scheduling depends on the current calendar — ask for current availability when you reach out.
Do I need cleaning if the exterior is already in decent shape?
Not necessarily. Send the property details and a recommendation will be provided based on its actual condition — only the services that will move the needle.
Can I get updated photos without a cleaning?
In some cases, yes. Reach out with the property details and we'll figure out what makes sense.
Do you work with portfolios of multiple properties?
Yes. For property managers and landlords with several properties, a recurring schedule can be set up based on turnover needs.
What areas do you serve?
South County St. Louis and nearby Jefferson County. If you're unsure whether a property qualifies, just ask.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing depends on property size, scope of cleaning needed, and whether it's a one-time turnover or recurring service — properties are quoted individually rather than from a flat rate.
