Post construction cleaning

Renovation and construction work leaves behind more than just sawdust. A fine film of drywall dust settles into every pore of the space, and adhesive residue, paint spatter, and packaging debris get left in corners and on fixtures. When you are trying to move furniture in or open the doors for business, that mess is in the way. Post construction cleaning is the final step that takes the space from work site to usable room, and it is a different kind of cleaning than a routine tidy-up. The dust is finer, the residue is stickier, and the surfaces are brand new and easy to damage if cleaned the wrong way.

The crew starts by removing large debris and protective coverings, then works top to bottom so nothing gets re-dusted. We vacuum ceilings, vents, and light fixtures with a HEPA filter to catch the fine particles, then wipe down walls, baseboards, doors, and window frames with a microfiber cloth and a mild cleaner that will not streak or etch fresh paint. Windows are cleaned inside and out with a squeegee, and we pull out the sticky residue from labels and tape on glass and hardware. Cabinets, closets, and drawers get wiped inside, and floors are vacuumed and then mopped or wiped according to the surface, whether that is hardwood, tile, or carpet.

No two post construction cleanings are the same, and the differences come down to the site itself. A small bathroom remodel produces a fraction of the dust of a whole-house renovation, so the time and the cost scale with square footage and the number of rooms. The type of work matters too: drywall sanding creates the finest dust that gets everywhere, while tile cutting and demolition leave heavier debris that takes longer to haul out. Access to the space matters, such as whether the crew can park close to the door and whether the building has an elevator or only stairs. The condition of the surfaces also matters, because unsealed grout, raw wood, and fresh paint all need different care.

On the day of the clean, the crew arrives with all the supplies and equipment loaded in the vehicle, so nothing is left to chance. We protect the floors and any finished areas we are not cleaning, and we work room by room so you can see progress as we go. At the end, we do a walkthrough with you so you can point out anything we missed, and we clear out all the debris and waste we generated. Before the crew arrives, you should remove any personal belongings and valuables, and make sure the water and power are on. After we leave, the space is ready for furniture, fixtures, or your first day of business.
