Complete Space Restoration for Landlord Turnover
Cubicle and Workstation Removal
We disassemble and remove cubicles, workstations, desks, and furniture of every size until the floor is completely clear. A clean, empty floor is what landlords require at final inspection and what our crew delivers on every project.
Low Voltage and Network Cable Removal
We pull all low voltage network cables, phone lines, and unused wiring from workstations, walls, ceilings, and server areas. Abandoned cabling is one of the most common causes of landlord deductions at lease end. We make sure none of it stays.
Cubicle Power Whip Disconnection
We safely disconnect cubicle power whips from the building electrical system as part of the furniture removal process. Proper disconnection protects you from liability and ensures the space passes electrical review before your landlord conducts the final walkthrough.
Wall Patching and Sanding
When furniture, signage, shelving, and cabling come down, walls are left with holes and surface damage. We patch and sand every affected area so the space looks clean and finished, reducing the risk of security deposit deductions at turnover.
Trash and Debris Removal
Packing materials, dismantled components, discarded supplies, and leftover office contents all leave with our crew. You will not be left coordinating dumpsters or separate hauling. The space is clear of debris before we hand it back to you.
Final Vacuuming and Inspection Prep
Once all removal work is complete, we vacuum the entire space so it is clean and presentable for the landlord walkthrough. A visibly clean space signals professionalism and reduces friction at final inspection, protecting your lease end relationship with the building.
What Bay Area Decommissioning Actually Looks Like
Most Bay Area tech offices were built for density. Drop ceilings full of abandoned data runs, cubicle clusters wired for 60-person pods, wall-mounted monitors with hardware still bolted to drywall. When those spaces decommission, the scope is almost always larger than tenants expect.
What we see most often: previous tenants left cabling in place from multiple lease cycles, stacked in ceiling trays and tangled through floor boxes. Our crew catalogs every run before we pull a single wire. We photograph ceiling conditions before and after. That documentation has saved clients from landlord disputes more than once.
We have cleared spaces ranging from 3,000-square-foot startups in SoMa to 40,000-square-foot enterprise floors in the East Bay. The process is the same at every scale: one walkthrough, one written scope, one crew, one sign-off. No subcontractors we have never worked with, no handoffs mid-project.
Furniture that still has value does not go to the landfill. We identify resellable pieces during the walkthrough and coordinate liquidation directly, which has helped clients offset a portion of decommissioning costs. California’s commercial diversion requirements under CalRecycle guidelines apply to the waste streams we handle, and we document accordingly.
Our Proven Decommissioning Process
Assessment — Site Walkthrough and Scope
We walk every square foot of your space to document everything that needs to come out: furniture, cabling, electrical connections, wall conditions, and any items requiring special handling. We photograph ceiling and wall conditions before work starts so you have a before-and-after record for the landlord.
Planning — Schedule Around Your Lease End Date
We build a project schedule around your specific lease end date and coordinate directly with your building management team on access windows, elevator reservations, and loading dock availability. A clear plan is what keeps the project on schedule and keeps your property manager cooperative.
Execution — One Crew, Full Scope, No Handoffs
Our crew handles furniture breakdown, data cabling removal, electrical disconnection, wall patching, debris removal, and final vacuuming in a single coordinated push. For furniture and equipment with resale value, we coordinate office furniture liquidation directly so usable pieces stay out of the landfill and you may recover a portion of project costs.
Final Walkthrough — Documented Sign-Off
Before we leave, we walk the space with your project lead and confirm every item on the written scope is complete. You receive photographic documentation of the finished space, which gives you a clean record for the landlord final inspection and protects you from post-turnover disputes.
Responsible Decommissioning for Bay Area Companies
Most Bay Area companies have ESG commitments that extend to how they handle a move. Sending cubicles, chairs, and workstation components to the landfill creates liability against those commitments. We recover every piece of furniture with resale value during the decommissioning process and route it through our liquidation network rather than a dumpster.
California commercial businesses are subject to mandatory commercial recycling and organics diversion requirements. We document the waste streams we handle on every project to support your internal reporting.
We work closely with clients who have formal sustainability and ESG commitments and provide the documentation they need to report diversion accurately.
When a 500-person San Francisco tech company vacated their downtown office floor, Aligned handled every detail from start to finish. We cleared the entire space on schedule, coordinated responsible liquidation of their high quality workstations and seating, and delivered complete photographic documentation before the lease end deadline. Their facilities team was able to close out the lease cleanly and meet their ESG diversion goals without managing a single vendor coordination themselves.
