The short answer
Clean bathrooms and the kitchen first, including inside vanities, cabinets, and appliances, because you will use them on day one. Then cover closets, sills, baseboards, and floors before furniture arrives.
Granite Springs, a hamlet in the Town of Somers along Route 118 and Route 202, near the Amawalk Reservoir, draws people looking for a quieter corner of northern Westchester. Whether you are moving from across the county or across the country, the first night in a new house goes better when the bathroom and kitchen are clean.

- Mirrors, fixtures, and exhaust fan covers.
Kitchen second

Then the rest
Closet shelves and rods, window sills and tracks, baseboards, switch plates, and every floor. Our full move-in checklist covers it all.
Timing
The best window is after closing or lease start and before the movers. Share both dates when you request a quote and we'll work to fit them.
