Why Post-Construction Cleaning Matters
Fine dust can scratch new surfaces, damage HVAC systems, and irritate allergies. A proper post-construction clean removes debris, controls airborne dust, and polishes details so your space looks and feels finished.

3 Phases of Post-Construction Cleaning
| Phase | Scope | Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| Rough Clean | Debris removal, sweep/vacuum, big dust reduction, adhesive residue prep | Safe workspace for punch list |
| Prep Clean | Detailed dusting high to low, window tracks, cabinets in/out, appliance exteriors | Ready for fixtures and final touches |
| Final Clean | Polish fixtures, glass and mirrors, floors, appliance interiors, paint smudge and caulk tidy-ups | Show-ready, move-in condition |

Timeline depends on square footage, amount of fine dust, number of rooms, and specialty finishes. Open shelving, glass hardware, and tall ceilings typically increase detailing time.
