A property ready for the next set of keys.
Meiju works backward from the occupancy or listing date, prioritizes readiness-critical items, and brings repairs, cleaning, and finishing together under one handoff standard. The result is fewer last-minute calls and repeat visits.
Available across Ottawa and the surrounding service area, this service is planned around property access, occupant needs, seasonal timing, and the condition found on site.
A firm handoff date is approaching
- A listing or occupancy date is approaching.
- Repairs, cleaning, and finish work must be organized together.
- You want one readiness standard and final handoff.
What clients want addressed
- Handoff date
- Cleaning standard
- Wall and finish repairs
- Fixtures and hardware
- Access and keys
- Final readiness check
The occupancy date is a project constraint, not a suggestion.
It coordinates cleaning, repairs, and practical setup around a fixed occupancy change when access windows are short and unfinished details create immediate friction.

Questions
Before you begin
Detailed answers are here when you need them. Open a question to learn more.
What is included in this service?
Work can include Debris Removal, Drywall Repair, Ceiling Repair, Interior Painting, Trim Painting, and Ceiling Painting. The final proposal confirms the selected services, quantities, site conditions, and any exclusions for your property.
How long does the work usually take?
A ready-to-start basic-to-standard scope typically takes 1–3 business days. Site conditions, selections, permits, inspections, weather, access, and approved changes can affect the schedule.
Can you install fixtures, hardware, or window coverings before move-in?
Yes, when products, mounting conditions, dimensions, and locations are confirmed in advance. Customer-supplied items must arrive complete and undamaged before the scheduled installation.
How is pricing calculated?
Pricing is built from the selected services using hourly, project-based, per-item, and per-square-foot rates, as applicable to the measured scope. The final proposal confirms quantities and approved choices.
Can repairs and cleaning be completed between possession dates?
Yes, when a clear access window and readiness list are available. We prioritize tasks that affect safe occupancy and handoff, then sequence cleaning after dust-producing repairs.
How do you confirm the property is ready for handoff?
The agreed work list and cleaning standard are reviewed at closeout. Any incomplete, excluded, or newly discovered item is documented rather than left ambiguous.
