What is included in post-construction cleaning?

Post-construction cleaning includes removing construction dust, debris, stickers, protective film, paint spots, and preparing the space for move-in. It typically covers floors, glass, fixtures, restrooms, kitchens, and high-detail surface cleaning.

What are the phases of post-construction cleaning?

Post-construction cleaning is typically done in three phases: Rough Clean (debris removal and initial dust control), Detail Clean (thorough dusting, glass cleaning, and surface prep), and Final Clean (polishing and touch-ups after trades complete punch lists).

How much does post-construction cleaning cost?

Pricing is usually based on square footage, scope, dust levels, and the number of phases required. Additional factors include high ceilings, complex millwork, tight timelines, and specialty surfaces that require extra care.

How long does post-construction cleaning take?

Timelines vary by project size. Small suites may take one day, while multi-floor buildouts require multiple days and phases. Scheduling depends on punch list completion, crew size, and access constraints like elevators or off-hours work.

Why hire a specialized post-construction cleaning company?

Post-construction cleaning requires specialized equipment, techniques, and experience with construction materials. A professional team prevents damage to new finishes, ensures a high-quality turnover, and helps avoid delays or re-cleaning costs.
