Why Post-Construction Cleaning Requires Specialized Expertise

Construction Dust Is Different

Unlike regular household dust, construction residue includes:

  • Drywall dust (fine powder that infiltrates every surface)
  • Sawdust and wood particles
  • Dry concrete and mortar particles
  • Paint overspray and splatters
  • Adhesive residues from tapes and construction materials
  • Metal filings from cutting and drilling

Standard Cleaning Methods Fail

Regular vacuum cleaners and household cleaners:

Our Construction-Specific Approach

We bring industrial HEPA filtration systems, specialized tools, and construction-grade protocols developed from cleaning corporate facilities after renovations at AT&T and Home Depot locations.

Timeline: When to Schedule Post-Construction Cleaning

Ideal Scheduling

Best Practice:

Schedule cleaning after:

  • All construction work is complete
  • Paint is fully cured (check with your contractor)
  • Flooring installation is finished
  • Major fixtures are installed
  • Final inspections are passed

But Before:

  • Furniture delivery
  • Window treatment installation
  • Art and decor placement
  • Final walk-through with contractor
  • Move-in day

Emergency/Accelerated Scheduling

We understand construction timelines can shift. We offer:

  • Next-day service for urgent timelines
  • Weekend and evening cleaning for commercial deadlines
  • Phased cleaning for overlapping construction phases
  • Progress cleaning during extended projects

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend waiting until:

  • Paint is fully cured (typically 2-4 weeks depending on type)
  • Construction traffic has ceased (no additional work planned)
  • All major installations are complete

However, we can work around final touches with proper coordination.

No. We specialize in non-hazardous construction residue cleaning. For hazardous materials (asbestos, lead paint, mold remediation), please consult licensed abatement specialists first. We clean AFTER professional abatement is complete.

Yes, ideally. Empty spaces allow for the most thorough cleaning. If belongings must remain, we can work around them with additional care and potentially extended timelines.

Depending on space size and construction intensity:

  • Small renovation (single room): 4-8 hours
  • Medium project (kitchen + bath): 8-16 hours
  • Whole-house renovation: 16-40+ hours (often multiple days)
  • Commercial space: Custom quote based on square footage

We vacuum accessible vents and registers but recommend professional HVAC cleaning for ductwork interior. We coordinate with HVAC specialists and can provide referrals.

Our focus is interior post-construction cleaning. For exterior cleanup (driveways, landscaping, siding), we recommend coordinating with your contractor or landscaping service.

Yes, with proper coordination. We establish clear zones and schedules to avoid interference with final electrical, plumbing, or finishing work.

We offer a 72-hour satisfaction guarantee. If dust reappears on surfaces within 72 hours of our cleaning (from settling airborne particles), we’ll return for touch-up cleaning at no additional charge.

Yes, we can provide photo documentation of the cleaning completion for your records or for contractor final walk-throughs.

  • Ensure construction work is complete
  • Remove or consolidate belongings if possible
  • Provide information on special surfaces or materials
  • Share any contractor contact for coordination
  • Ensure power and water are available
