Overview
About Post-Construction Cleaning
Post-construction cleaning removes construction dust, debris, adhesive residue, and paint overspray to prepare your new or renovated space for occupancy. Our specialized crews work efficiently to meet tight move-in deadlines.
Construction and renovation projects leave behind fine dust, drywall particles, adhesive residue, paint drips, window stickers, and debris that require specialized cleaning beyond standard janitorial services. Professional post-construction cleaning crews use HEPA-filtered vacuums, microfiber tools, and commercial-grade chemicals to bring your space to a pristine, move-in-ready condition safely and efficiently.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about post-construction cleaning services.
How much does post-construction cleaning cost?
Post-construction cleaning typically costs $0.10–$0.50 per square foot for light cleanup, and $0.50–$1.50+ per square foot for detailed final cleaning. A 5,000 sq ft commercial space may cost $500–$7,500 depending on scope and condition.
How long does post-construction cleaning take?
A basic rough-out cleaning for a 5,000 sq ft space may take 4–8 hours with a crew of 2–4 people. Detailed final cleaning with multiple phases typically takes 1–3 days.
What are the phases of post-construction cleaning?
Post-construction cleaning typically involves three phases: rough cleaning (removing large debris), detail cleaning (cleaning all surfaces and fixtures), and final cleaning (touch-up and inspection).
Do I need special equipment for construction dust?
Yes. Construction dust contains fine silica particles that require HEPA-filtered vacuums and specialized microfiber tools to capture. Standard vacuum cleaners recirculate this dust into the air.
Can post-construction cleaning crews work alongside contractors?
Yes, experienced post-construction cleaning crews can schedule around remaining trade work and perform phased cleanings as areas are completed.
