Window Cleaning
Salt air is relentless in the Keys, and cloudy, streaked glass is one of the most common things that dulls an otherwise stunning property photo. Clean windows let in the light, sharpen the view of the water, and give every interior shot that bright, open feel buyers love. Book your window crew at least 48 hours before the shoot, and make sure they get both interior and exterior glass.

Pro tip: Ask your window cleaner to do the job the morning of — or evening before — the shoot. Even a light sea breeze can leave new film on glass overnight.
House Cleaning & Turnover
There’s a meaningful difference between a home that’s clean and a home that’s camera-ready. You need cleaners who know how to eliminate fingerprints on stainless steel, remove watermarks from shower glass, and leave countertops bare and gleaming. The right crew can transform a lived-in vacation rental into a showpiece in a single visit.

Pro tip: Ask cleaners to leave all toilet lids down, remove personal items from countertops, and place all remotes and cables out of sight. These are the small things that slow down a shoot.
Landscaping & Lawn Care
Curb appeal is the first frame of every listing. Overgrown hedges, patchy grass, and untrimmed palms signal neglect even before a buyer walks through the door. A clean, well-maintained yard anchors the entire exterior shoot and sets the right tone for everything that follows.
Keyscape Landscape Design
A Key Largo landscaping firm specializing in design, hardscapes, and outdoor lighting — the kind of work that photographs dramatically and adds real perceived value to a listing. keyscapelandscape.com — Contact for a quote.

Florida Keys Landscaping Services — Highly rated on Angi, this crew brings experience with Keys-specific vegetation and reliable turnaround for pre-listing yard prep. Contact for a quote.
Pro tip: Schedule landscaping 2–3 days before the shoot, not the morning of — freshly cut grass and trimmed palms look cleaner after a day of settling, and you avoid leftover clippings in the frame.
Pressure Washing
In the Florida Keys, algae, mold, and salt buildup collect fast on driveways, pool decks, walkways, and docks. What looks like “weathered character” in person photographs as neglect. A good pressure washing can add years of perceived freshness to a property’s exterior and make hardscape surfaces pop against the natural surroundings.
Reef Tropical Cleaning & Services

Pro tip: Always pressure wash before the window cleaning crew arrives — the overspray and runoff will undo clean glass in minutes.
Handyman & Minor Repairs
A camera doesn’t miss much. Sagging cabinet doors, peeling trim, a missing screen, or a cracked outlet cover can all appear in a wide-angle shot and subtly undercut an otherwise polished listing. A reliable handyman who can move quickly is one of the most valuable people to have on your prep contact list.
Key2Key Property Service

Keys Handyman Services LLC — A Key Largo handyman crew available for the kind of quick-turn repairs — loose hardware, patching, minor carpentry — that need to happen in the days before a shoot, not weeks after. Contact for a quote.
Florida Keys Drain Cleaning — In addition to plumbing services, this company handles general property maintenance in the Keys — useful when a pre-listing punch list includes both cosmetic and functional fixes. Contact for a quote.
Pro tip: Walk the property with a critical eye before booking — check every door handle, cabinet hinge, and screen. A list of six small repairs done in one visit costs far less than a re-shoot.
Pool Service
A sparkling pool is one of the most powerful selling features in any Keys listing — and a cloudy, leaf-covered one is one of the most damaging. Timing your pool service so the water is clear and the deck is clean on shoot day takes some coordination, but it’s worth every bit of it.

Florida Keys Pool & Spa Service — Handles cleaning, equipment repair, and full-service pool maintenance throughout the Keys; a reliable option when the pool needs more than just a skim before the shoot. Contact for a quote.
Pro tip: Schedule pool service 24–48 hours before shoot day so the water has time to clear and any treatment chemicals have fully dissipated — green water and chemical haze both show up on camera.
Dock & Marine Cleanup
In the Keys, a dock isn’t just a feature — it’s often the headline of the entire listing. When it’s clean, well-maintained, and photographed well, it tells buyers exactly the story they came here for. Algae-covered pilings, storm debris, and fish mess do the opposite. Get the dock sorted before anything else.
Keys Marine Service
A mobile marine service based in Key Largo, offering boat repairs and dockside services with the kind of local knowledge that makes scheduling around tides and shoot dates easy. keysmarineservice.com — Contact for a quote.
Big Beard Boats — A mobile marine mechanic certified by Yamaha and Suzuki, available for dockside mechanical work and general marine service in Key Largo and the surrounding area. Contact for a quote.
Keys Boating Center — Boat service and dockside repair with a professional approach; useful when a listing’s dock needs hands-on attention before it’s ready to be photographed. Contact for a quote.
Pro tip: If the listing includes a boat in the photos, make sure it’s clean, fenders are removed, and dock lines are neatly coiled. A messy boat can visually overwhelm even a beautiful dock.
Interior Staging
The best staging doesn’t look staged — it looks like the life a buyer wants to live. In the Keys, that means light-filled spaces, natural textures, and a sense of ease that matches the outdoor setting. Whether the home is vacant or occupied, the right staging partner knows how to edit a space down to its best version.

Serving Key Largo through Key West with full furniture and design services — an excellent resource for vacant homes that need to be fully furnished for a listing shoot. keysfurniture.com — Contact for a quote.

Pro tip: Remove at least one piece of furniture from every room before the shoot — spaces almost always photograph better with more breathing room than you think they need.
