We get Tega Cay homes show-ready

We clean new construction across Tega Cay

Tega Cay has grown fast, and new houses keep going up beside streets people have lived on for a long time. Every new build ends with the same mess. Drywall dust sits on every ledge, and there are paint spots on the tile and stickers on the glass. Red clay comes in on the boots of every trade that walks through. Our rough construction clean clears the debris and the heavy dust so the finish crews can get to work.

The final construction clean is the one buyers notice. Drywall dust keeps settling for days after the sanding stops, and it comes back out of the vents the first time the air runs. So we work from the top down. Light fixtures and ceiling fans come first, then cabinet tops and the insides of drawers, then window tracks and baseboards. The floors go last, because dust from above lands right back on a floor that was cleaned too early.

When a builder opens a model home or sales center in Tega Cay, it gets used like a store. People walk through all day. They open every cabinet and leave prints on the glass doors. From our years on the builder side, we know a clean model lets buyers look at the house instead of the dust. We keep models ready between visits, and we clean before and after events.

• Rough cleans that clear debris for the finish crews
• Red clay cleaned off entry tile and stairs
• Dust wiped from ceiling fans and cabinet tops
• Window tracks and baseboards done before the floors
• Model homes kept clean between visitors and events

Tega Cay lake houses show every smudge

Tega Cay sits on a peninsula in Lake Wylie, and the houses along the water are built to face it. Many have wide back windows and open rooms that look out toward the lake. That is also where the photographer points the camera. Low afternoon light off the water shows every smudge on the glass and every streak on a wood floor. When we do photography prep, we start with the rooms and the glass that will end up in the listing.

Spring is the busy season for listings, and it is also pine pollen season in York County. For a few weeks, a yellow film lands on porch furniture and window screens, and on anything left outside. A lake house with a screened porch and doors out to a deck lets it inside fast. A listing refresh before an open house takes that film off the surfaces a buyer will touch. Left there, it makes a house look like nobody has been looking after it.

Vacant lake houses in Tega Cay have their own problem. With nobody living there, the air sits still, and on a humid Carolina summer day a closed-up house can start to smell stale. Dust settles on the counters and dead bugs collect along the windows. Vacant listing prep gets the house clean again before the first showing. If it stays on the market longer than planned, we can come back for a listing refresh.

Candee and Kaili run KC Premier Cleaning

KC Premier Cleaning is owned and run by Candee and Kaili, a mother and daughter based in Fort Mill. Tega Cay is a short drive from home for us. We started the business to help houses make a good first impression on the people who walk in to buy them. We clean for builders and REALTORS who need a house ready to show, and for homeowners who are moving in or out.

Both of us worked in homebuilding before we started cleaning. Candee spent eighteen years in builder sales and marketing, and she is a licensed REALTOR. Kaili spent four years in purchasing for home builders. She worked behind the scenes on the operations that keep new home communities running. That background tells us what a builder needs from a final clean, and what an agent needs before the photographer shows up.

Lots near the water in Tega Cay often slope down toward the lake. Many of those houses have a lower level with a door straight out to the yard. On moving day that door gets used as much as the front one, and the floors down there pick up the most dirt. Our move-out clean covers the whole house, lower level included, so the next owner does not find red clay on the stairs. A pre-closing clean means buyers walk into a clean house on the day they get the keys.
