Damage inspection and photo reporting means every clean includes a walk-through — appliances, furniture, walls, patio and pool-area hardware — with photos timestamped and logged before the next guest checks in, so damage stays traceable to the guest who caused it, not discovered three bookings later. That's why Lakeland STR Cleaning holds a 5.0 rating across 23 Google reviews.
A cracked patio chair or a stained mattress pad is easy to miss on a rushed turnover and easy to blame on the wrong guest once three more bookings have come through. Every clean at Lakeland STR Cleaning includes a walk-through of appliances, furniture, walls, and patio and pool-area hardware, with photos taken and logged against that visit — not a separate inspection booked on top of the cleaning.
That record does two things: it flags something an owner needs to know about before the next guest checks in, and it ties any damage to the booking where it happened instead of a guess made weeks later. The same walk-through runs on every property in the account, across all seven areas on the schedule, using the same standard behind the crew's 5.0-star rating from 23 Google reviews.
What gets photographed on a typical walk-through?
The pass covers what a departing guest could plausibly damage and an owner would want to know about before the next check-in.
- Appliances and remotes
- Furniture and upholstery
- Walls, doors, and trim
- Patio furniture and pool-area equipment
Does this replace a security deposit claim or platform report?
No — it's the evidence, not the claim itself. If a guest disputes a charge or an owner needs proof for an Airbnb or VRBO resolution request, the timestamped photos from that specific clean are what back it up.
The crew flags and documents; the owner decides whether it's worth pursuing through the platform.
Do you repair damage you find, or just report it?
Just report it. Lakeland STR Cleaning documents what's found and flags it to the owner — repairs and replacement are the owner's call, not something bundled into the cleaning visit.
How soon will I know if something's damaged?
It's flagged as part of the report from that same cleaning visit, not held for a separate follow-up. The photos and notes go out with the rest of the turnover report.
Will the guest be charged automatically if something's broken?
No. Documentation is what the crew provides — whether to pursue a charge through Airbnb, VRBO, or directly with the guest is entirely the owner's decision.
