From Construction Zone to Spotless Home

After the builders leave, the real cleanup begins. Our post-construction cleaning service removes every trace of dust, debris, and residue—leaving your home spotless, safe, and ready to enjoy. Whether it’s a full renovation or a new build, we handle the mess so you don’t have to.

What Are The 3 Phases of Post-Construction?

Step 1: Rough Clean

  • Remove debris, trash, leftover materials
  • Sweep/vacuum large dust piles
  • Initial scrape of stickers, paint overspray, caulk, etc.
  • Prep the space so detailed work can actually begin

Step 2: Detailed Clean

  • Clean bathrooms, kitchens, cabinets (inside/out)
  • Wipe all horizontal & vertical surfaces
  • Deep dusting from top to bottom
  • Clean windows, frames, tracks
  • Remove remaining adhesive, paint, and fine dust
  • This phase is where it starts to look “move-in ready”

Step 3: Final Touch Up Clean

  • Re-dust surfaces that collected post-cleanup dust
  • Touch up smudges, fingerprints, streaks
  • Final polish on floors, fixtures, stainless, glass
  • Last pass to ensure everything is photo- and client-ready
