The turn advantage

Three promises that protect your vacancy days and your deposits.

Fast Turn Protocol

Dry in 4 to 8 hours. Professional hot water extraction with rapid airflow, so the unit is ready for the next tenant.

Frictionless Access

Nobody from your team needs to be on site. Give us a lockbox code, keypad PIN or leasing office instructions. No lockbox yet? We can pick up the keys at a location you choose.

Deposit Defense

Before-and-after photos come with your receipt or invoice, so security deposit deductions hold up if a tenant disputes them. You get service records, itemized receipts and photos for your turnover files.

4 to 8 hourstypical dry time
48 hourstouch-up guarantee
1 statementone monthly payment
Built for portfolio turnover

Every vacant day costs your owners rent.

Our turnover work is built around what property managers need: tight scheduling, clear documentation for security deposits and results you can stand behind at move-in inspection.

Access to any floor

Second, third and fourth floor units, lofts, basements and secured buildings, without dragging long hoses through shared hallways and common areas.

Building security and Montana winters

No exterior doors propped open when temperatures fall below 0°F. Your heat stays in and your building stays secure.

Professional-grade equipment

Commercial hot water extraction lifts embedded dirt, pet dander, grease and traffic lanes. Our equipment is stored in climate-controlled space, so it runs reliably all winter.

We serve apartments, condos, townhomes, duplexes and single-family rentals, for move-out, move-in, turnover and make-ready cleaning.

Our four commitments

What you can count on, every job.

Direct owner response Text or email and Andre replies personally. Urgent turnovers and schedule changes get priority attention.
48-hour touch-up guarantee If a unit does not pass your move-in inspection, tell us within 48 hours and we return to re-clean the affected area at no charge. Some stains, such as bleach, dye, rust or urine that reached the backing, can be difficult or impossible to remove. When that happens, we document it in the photos as possible permanent damage or a case where the carpet may need replacement. The service is still performed and billed, and we always give it our best, but we cannot promise miracles.
Simple monthly billing An itemized receipt after every job, then one statement on the 1st with payment due by the 15th. Prefer to pay per job? Net 30 per invoice is available. You choose when you apply.
Transparent pricing Published partner rates and no surprises. You pay by carpeted room, based on the details you give us. If our walkthrough finds more or fewer carpeted rooms than booked, we contact you and correct the price before work begins.
Our process

A 9-step restoration protocol, the same way every time.

1

Walkthrough and before photos

We walk the carpeted rooms and photograph the condition before we begin.

2

Pre-vacuum

A light pass to lift surface soil when needed.

3

Enzyme spray and orbital agitation

We spray the enzyme, then an orbital machine agitates the fibers to boost its effect and the cleaning power.

4

Steam extraction

High temperature hot water is injected while the vacuum recovers the water and the soil at the same time.

5

Spot treatment

Spots we find, or that you tell us about in advance, are treated.

6

Odor neutralizer

Professional antimicrobial deodorizer, included on every job.

7

Pile grooming

As needed, a carpet rake or brush aligns the fibers for an even finish.

8

Rapid airflow

Air movers are placed to speed drying to 4 to 8 hours.

9

Final quality check and after photos

Final inspection and new photos to show the result before we lock up.

Notes for our team

Partner rate schedule

Clear rates, published up front.

Standardized carpeted zone pricing so there are no estimate surprises across different layouts.

Carpeted zone pricing: billing is by carpeted rooms (living room, dining area, bedroom, office, loft or den, hallway). If a unit has vinyl or hardwood in the living areas and only 2 bedrooms are carpeted, you pay for 2 carpeted areas. Hard floor areas are neither cleaned nor charged. Reach-in closets are included with the room they belong to, and a small coat closet is included with its hallway. A closet or small room you can walk into, at least two steps inside, is charged as a walk-in closet. If it is about the size of a typical bedroom, it counts as a carpeted area.
Room size: areas are counted by room, and each room counts as at least one area. One room counts as one area up to about 300 sq ft (28 m²). A larger room counts as two areas up to about 600 sq ft (56 m²), three areas up to about 900 sq ft (84 m²), and so on. We count by room, not by total floor area. In open floor plans, each carpeted space that works as its own room, such as the living room and the dining area, counts as a separate area, even when the combined space is under 300 sq ft. We measure at the walkthrough and tell you before we start.

Vacant unit carpet turnover (unfurnished)

Every job includes the antimicrobial deodorizer, steam extraction and standard spot treatment for food, drink, mud and traffic marks. Everything else is an extra.

Questions

What property managers ask us most.

How do I get an access code?

Apply below. We review every application and send your code by email or text, usually within 2 business days.

How do you get into the unit?

Lockbox, keypad or leasing office instructions in your booking note. No lockbox yet? We can pick up the keys at a location you choose. There is no fee in Bozeman, in Belgrade or in the same city as the job.

Do you move furniture?

Up to 5 light items per room, such as books, toys, or pushing a chair aside, each up to about 11 lb (5 kg), if there is a place to put them. Please leave the room organized and the floor clear. We do not move larger amounts, items in bags, containers, boxes or stacks, or heavy furniture such as tables, sofas, heavy chairs, desks and cabinets. If items can't be cleared, we clean only the areas we can reach.

Does the unit need water and power?

Yes. Our equipment plugs into two outlets in different rooms so the breaker does not trip, so please tell us if any outlet is fine. Any faucet works for water. Hot water speeds up the job but is not required. Tell us where to connect in the booking notes.

What about heavy pet stains or odor?

Enzymatic treatment is $40 per area and heavy stain extraction at $25 for small stains. We inspect first and tell you when a stain is likely permanent, such as bleach or urine that reached the backing, and we document it with photos.

How soon is the carpet dry?

Most units are dry in 4 to 8 hours. Leave a buffer before the next move-in, and text us for urgent turns.

Can I book several units, or for the same day?

Yes. When the schedule has openings, you can book several units and same-day visits online, as long as the time starts at least 2 hours from now. Cannot find a time? Text us at (406) 600-3321 and we will look at an emergency same-day visit.

What if a unit does not pass inspection?

Tell us within 48 hours, with a description or photos, and we return to re-clean the affected area at no charge.

Do you clean furnished units?

Yes. Upholstery and mattress care is 15% off our retail prices.

What insurance do you carry?

Headwaters Steam LLC is licensed, bonded and insured, with general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and commercial auto insurance of $500,000 per accident on our service vehicle. Approved partners can download our certificates of insurance in the Documents area.

Can I be listed as certificate holder or additional insured?

Certificate holder: yes. After you sign in, open Documents and choose “Request” next to the certificate in your company’s name. Give us your legal company name, mailing address and the wording your agreement requires, and we will request it from our insurer and send it to you. Additional insured status is available when your written agreement requires it, subject to our insurer’s approval; tell us in the request and we will let you know the timing.

Do you carry workers’ compensation?

Headwaters Steam LLC is owner operated and has no employees at this time, so there is no workers’ compensation policy in place. We will add it when we hire.

How do I book and pay?

After approval, book on this page with your access code. You receive an itemized receipt after every job, then one statement on the 1st with payment due by the 15th, or Net 30 per invoice if you prefer.

Cleaner units. Happier residents. Stronger properties.
