Post-Construction Cleaning

Post-Construction Cleaning in Maryland & Washington, DC

Construction dust does not stay where the work happened. It settles into vents, window tracks, light fixtures, and every horizontal surface in the building, and it keeps reappearing until someone removes it properly. Post-construction cleaning is a systematic, multi-pass job — and it is what turns a finished renovation into a space you can actually use.

Why clients book it

Multi-pass dust removal

Fine drywall dust needs more than one pass. We work high to low and return to surfaces as airborne dust resettles.

Protects new finishes

New floors, counters, and fixtures are cleaned with methods appropriate to the material, not a one-size-fits-all product.

Handover ready

The property is left in a condition you can photograph, show, or hand to a client.

Coordinated with your trades

We schedule after the last trade leaves so the clean is not undone the next morning.

What’s included

  • Fine construction dust removed from every surface
  • Paint, adhesive, sticker, and residue removal
  • HVAC vent covers and light fixtures detailed
  • Window tracks, sills, and glass polished

Optional add-ons

  • Debris hauling and disposal coordination
  • Exterior window cleaning

  • Second-pass return visit after settling

Add-ons are priced individually, so you only pay for what your home needs.

How it works

  1. 1

    Rough pass

    Bulk debris, protective coverings, and heavy dust are cleared out first.

  2. 2

    Detail pass

    Every surface is cleaned high to low — fixtures, vents, trim, cabinetry, glass, and floors.

  3. 3

    Final pass

    After dust resettles, we return over key surfaces and floors so the space stays clean once occupied.

What to expect

Post-construction cleans are the most labor-intensive service we offer and are quoted after we understand the scope of the work performed. Power and water need to be available on site.

Carefully selected cleaners

Every cleaner is vetted and trained before working in a client's home.

Consistent standards

A documented scope for your space means the same result every visit.

Clear communication

Upfront pricing, confirmed arrival windows, and a real person to reach.

Post-Construction Cleaning questions, answered

What does post-construction cleaning include?

Removal of fine construction dust from all surfaces, residue and sticker removal, vent and fixture detailing, window tracks and glass, cabinet interiors, and a full floor clean — usually in multiple passes.

How is it different from a deep clean?

A deep clean addresses household buildup. Post-construction cleaning addresses drywall dust and building residue, which is finer, more widespread, and requires repeated passes and different methods.

When should the clean be scheduled?

After the final trade has finished. Cleaning before punch-list work is complete usually means paying for it twice.

Do you remove construction debris?

We remove residual debris and can coordinate hauling as an add-on. Large-volume demolition debris should be handled by your contractor's disposal service.

Can you clean after a partial renovation?

Yes. Single-room renovations such as kitchens and bathrooms are common, including the surrounding rooms where dust travelled.
