What this service is

Construction and renovation work leave behind more than just sawdust. Fine drywall dust settles on every surface, vents push particles back into the air, and tracks of mud, paint and caulk appear in places you would not expect. Our Post Construction Clean is built to remove that layer so your new space actually feels finished.

We work from top to bottom, starting with high dusting on crown moulding, light fixtures, vents and window frames, then moving down to walls, baseboards, cabinets and floors. Windows get special attention: tracks, sills, glass and frames are cleaned of paint flecks, silicone and sticker residue. We also remove the larger debris left behind by trades, from drywall chunks to dropped fasteners, and we spot clean visible scuffs and fingerprints before you move in.

This service is always quoted as a flat rate based on the size of the space and the condition after construction. Because every job is different, we may ask for photos or a quick walkthrough before confirming the price and the time required.

FAQ

Post Construction Clean questions

After. We clean once all trades have finished and the space is empty. That way we are not cleaning the same dust twice and we can reach every surface.

Our basement reno looked amazing but the dust was everywhere. They got it cleaner than the day we moved in.
