Post-Construction Cleaning
New construction is dirty in a way nothing else is. Drywall sanding leaves a powder fine enough to stay airborne for hours, work into window tracks and outlet boxes, and get pulled into the return ducts to blow back out over the following month. Cleaning it once doesn't hold. We work in phases: a rough clean once the trades are out, a touch-up after punch-list work, and a final detail before handover. That last pass is the one people remember. Labels and stickers off the windows and appliances, grout haze off the tile, paint specks off the hardware, filters changed, floors done last.

Your post-construction checklist
The same checklist every visit. That includes the spots your Mother-in-Law checks on her way to the kitchen, and the ones she'd never admit she checked.
- Rough clean once the trades are finished
- Touch-up pass after punch-list work
- Final detail: dust lifted, not pushed around
- Labels and stickers off windows, glass, and appliances
- Grout haze, paint specks, and adhesive removed
- HVAC vents and registers vacuumed, filters swapped
Why one pass never gets the dust
Drywall dust behaves the same in every climate. It's fine enough to pass a shop vac filter and light enough to hang in the air, so it settles back onto surfaces someone already wiped. Sequence is the fix: ducts and high surfaces first, floors last, filters changed.
We'll price this to your home
Post-Construction depends on the size of the job and the shape it's in, so we look at it directly rather than guess. Tell us about your place and a clear, flat number comes back fast. You approve it before anyone touches a surface. Then we clean it to the standard your Mother-in-Law would, the one where she runs a finger along the trim and finds nothing.
