PCS Move-Out Cleaning at Camp Lejeune

If you are PCSing out of Camp Lejeune, your exterior cleaning is not optional — it is part of your final housing inspection. Lendlease housing management inspectors walk the outside of your unit before you hand back the keys, and they check everything: siding condition, driveway staining, patio and walkway appearance, carport cleanliness, and the overall look of your exterior from the curb. Failing that inspection means coming back to fix it on a timeline that does not care about your report date at your next duty station. We know this because we are veteran-owned and we have seen it happen to families scrambling at the last minute.

Fresh Start Surface Solutions specializes in PCS move-out exterior cleaning for military families at Camp Lejeune. We clean base housing units in every neighborhood on the installation — Midway Park, Tarawa Terrace, Berkeley Manor, Watkins Village, Paradise Point, and the French Creek area. We know what the inspectors look for because we have cleaned hundreds of these units and we know the standards that Lendlease holds families to. Our job is to make sure you pass your exterior inspection on the first walk-through so you can focus on the dozen other things you are juggling during a PCS move.

We recommend scheduling your exterior cleaning two to three weeks before your final inspection date. During peak PCS season — May through August — book three to four weeks out because every family leaving base is trying to get the same work done at the same time. Call us as soon as you have your orders and know your move-out timeline. We will lock in a date that gives you a clean exterior with enough buffer to handle any re-inspection if needed.

What Housing Inspectors Actually Check

The exterior portion of a Camp Lejeune housing inspection covers more than most families expect. Inspectors evaluate your unit's curb appeal as a whole and check individual surfaces for staining, biological growth, and neglect. Here is what they are looking at and what we clean to make sure you pass:

• Siding and Exterior Walls — Inspectors look for algae streaks, mold patches, dirt buildup, and cobwebs on all siding surfaces. Our soft wash treatment kills biological growth at the root and restores siding to a clean, uniform appearance. This is the single biggest factor in passing the exterior portion.
• Driveways and Parking Pads — Oil stains, tire marks, rust stains, and biological growth on concrete are all flagged during inspection. We surface-clean driveways and parking areas to remove all visible staining and restore the concrete to a clean condition.
• Patios and Walkways — Back patios, front walkways, and connecting sidewalks must be free of biological growth and staining. Many families overlook the back patio because they do not use it — inspectors do not overlook it.
• Carports and Storage Areas — If your unit has a carport, the floor and surrounding concrete are part of the inspection. We clean these areas to remove oil drips, dirt, and mildew.
• Gutters and Trim — Visible gutter staining and dirty trim around doors and windows signal neglect. We clean gutter faces and exterior trim as part of our move-out package.

We have seen families lose their security deposit or face out-of-pocket charges because of exterior condition issues that a single cleaning visit would have prevented. Do not let that happen to you. A professional exterior cleaning before your final inspection is the most cost-effective way to protect yourself during a PCS move.

The Military Family Cleaning Cycle

Military life at Camp Lejeune follows a cycle, and your home's exterior follows it too. You arrive from a cross-country PCS move — your family is exhausted, the house is new to you, and the last thing on your mind is what the outside looks like. Within six months, Eastern NC humidity has already started putting algae and mildew on your siding. By the time you are a year into your tour, the driveway has oil stains, the patio has green growth, and the north-facing walls look noticeably different from the rest of the house.

We work with Camp Lejeune families at every stage of this cycle. If you just arrived and want to start with a clean baseline, we will wash down your entire exterior so you are not inheriting the last family's neglect. During your tour, an annual soft wash keeps your home looking sharp and prevents the buildup that becomes a bigger problem at move-out. When you get your PCS orders, we handle the final move-out cleaning so your exterior passes inspection without the stress of doing it yourself during the chaos of packing, clearing, and out-processing through IPAC.

Whether you live in a Tarawa Terrace townhouse, a Berkeley Manor single-family, a Watkins Village duplex, or a Paradise Point home near the golf course, we have cleaned your exact type of unit before. We know the layouts, the materials, and the trouble spots. Carport floors in Midway Park. Back patios in Berkeley Manor. The shaded siding walls in Tarawa Terrace where trees block the sun and mildew takes over in weeks. We have seen it all and we clean it all.

Serving the Entire Camp Lejeune Community

Our service area covers every housing community on Camp Lejeune and the surrounding off-base neighborhoods where military families live. On base, we clean units in Midway Park, Tarawa Terrace I and II, Berkeley Manor, Watkins Village, Paradise Point, French Creek, Hospital Point, and all other Lendlease-managed communities. Off base, we serve the military family neighborhoods along Piney Green Road, the communities near the Main Gate off Highway 24, and the housing areas around Holcomb Boulevard and Brewster Boulevard.

We coordinate with you on base access and scheduling. If you need to put us on the visitor access list through the Provost Marshal's Office, we will provide all the information you need ahead of time so there are no delays on cleaning day. We have been on and off base hundreds of times and we know the process. Our team is veteran-owned, fully insured, and licensed in North Carolina.
