The final step of your renovation. We remove fine dust and construction residue to reveal the true beauty of your new investment.
Post-Construction Cleaning is a professional cleaning service that the final step of your renovation. we remove fine dust and construction residue to reveal the true beauty of your new investment. Specialized for newly renovated spaces, this service safely removes fine construction dust, cleans inside new cabinets, removes manufacturer labels, and makes your space move-in ready.
Renovation creates a unique type of mess that standard cleaning cannot handle. "Fine particulate dust" settles into the pores of your new flooring, coats your walls, and hides inside air vents. Our Post-Construction Cleaning is a specialized detail designed to safely extract this dust without scratching your new luxury finishes. We use advanced dust-removal methods and microfiber technology to eliminate the "white haze" left behind by drywall and sanding, turning a construction site into a move-in ready home.
Construction dust isn't ordinary dust—it's a fine powder composed of drywall compound, sawdust, concrete particles, and other materials that can damage surfaces if not properly removed. Standard vacuums simply recirculate these particles back into the air. Our specialized approach captures and removes this dust permanently.
This isn't about making a dirty home look clean—it's about transitioning a construction zone into a livable space. We understand the substantial investment you've made in your renovation, and we treat every surface with the care it deserves.
Before we begin, we walk through your property together (virtually or in person) to assess the scope of work. We'll identify areas with heavy dust accumulation, check for adhesive residue on new windows, and note any surfaces requiring special attention. You'll receive a clear explanation of what we'll address and how long the process typically takes.
We communicate openly about what post-construction cleaning does and doesn't include. For example, we clean construction dust but don't remove paint splatters (that's the contractor's responsibility) or deep-clean carpets (a separate specialty service). By setting clear expectations upfront, we ensure your complete satisfaction with the results.
Your new countertops, flooring, and fixtures represent a significant investment. We use only non-abrasive techniques and products specifically designed for post-construction cleaning. Our team is trained to identify different materials—natural stone, hardwood, porcelain, stainless steel—and apply appropriate cleaning methods for each.
We take inventory of your home's new features before we begin, documenting their condition. If we discover any issues that appear to be contractor-related (scratches, damage, incomplete work), we'll alert you before proceeding. This documentation protects both you and us, ensuring transparency throughout the process.
Post-construction cleaning should happen after all contractor work is complete but before furniture delivery and move-in. We recommend scheduling your cleaning at least 24-48 hours after the final construction activities to allow any remaining airborne dust to settle.
We coordinate timing carefully. Rushing this process doesn't serve anyone—dust that hasn't settled will simply reappear after we leave. We'd rather schedule correctly the first time than have you disappointed with the results.
If your project involved extensive work, we may recommend a two-phase approach: an initial heavy cleaning immediately after construction, followed by a detail cleaning before move-in. We'll discuss which approach makes sense for your specific situation.
We know construction projects are stressful. Timelines slip, budgets stretch, and by the time you're ready for cleaning, you're exhausted. That's why we make the final step easy.
Our team arrives prepared with all necessary equipment and supplies. We work efficiently but thoroughly, respecting your timeline while delivering exceptional results. You're welcome to remain on-site to observe our progress or handle other moving logistics—whatever works best for you.
After completing the cleaning, we do a detailed walkthrough together. We want you to see every cleaned surface, open every cabinet, and verify that your new home is truly move-in ready. If anything doesn't meet your expectations, we address it before leaving.
