A contractor sweep and a real post-construction clean are different jobs. The difference is almost entirely about fine dust, and it shows up a week after you move in.
When a renovation wraps up, the crew usually sweeps and hauls the visible debris. That is not the same as a post-construction clean, and the gap between the two is where most complaints come from.
Fine dust is the real problem
Cutting drywall, sanding and demolition throw an extremely fine dust into the air that stays airborne long after work stops. It then settles on every horizontal surface in the property, including the ones nobody looks at: the tops of door frames, ceiling fan blades, inside cabinets, light fixtures, window tracks and air vents.
If that dust is not removed properly, it circulates again the moment the air conditioning comes on. Clients often tell us the house was "clean" but got dusty again within days. It never actually left.
What we cover
- Removal and disposal of leftover material, packaging and debris
- Fine dust removal from all surfaces, including high ledges, vents and fixtures
- Inside cabinets, drawers, closets and appliance interiors
- Glass and frames, including paint specks, adhesive residue and stickers
- Floors detailed by material, since tile, wood and polished concrete each need a different method
- Final detail of switches, handles, baseboards and door tracks
Timing matters
Book the clean after the last trade has finished, not between trades. If a finish carpenter or painter comes back afterward, you pay for the work twice. For handovers and final inspections, give us the property once the tools are gone.
