After a renovation, your home feels coated in a fine, gritty film. Every surface, from countertops to window sills, has a persistent layer of dust that seems to reappear moments after you wipe it. You run your hand across a newly painted wall and feel an unexpected roughness, or notice tiny specks embedded in your carpet.
You’ve swept, vacuumed with your regular cleaner, and wiped down surfaces repeatedly, but the dust just won't go away. It’s heavier than normal household dust, and your usual cleaning supplies seem to just push it around or stir it back into the air. You might even find stubborn paint splatters on your new flooring or adhesive residue on a pristine surface, realizing your everyday methods aren't equipped for this level of cleanup.
Construction generates microscopic silica dust, which is much finer and heavier than typical household dust. This dust settles deeply into porous surfaces like carpet fibers and adheres to smooth surfaces, making it abrasive and difficult to remove with standard tools. Additionally, construction often leaves behind specific residues like paint overspray, caulk smears, or adhesive drips that require targeted solvents and careful techniques to remove without damaging the underlying finishes.
Addressing post-construction dust and debris requires specialized equipment and a methodical approach. Fine silica dust necessitates HEPA-filtered vacuums to capture particles without recirculating them into the air, protecting your home’s air quality and preventing re-settling. Removing paint, caulk, or adhesive without scratching or dulling surfaces demands specific, non-abrasive tools and solvents, along with an understanding of different material tolerances. A professional service ensures every surface is meticulously cleaned and protected.
Consistency is what changes the outcome here. One clean addresses the current state; recurring visits prevent the next buildup from reaching the same level. Our own employees — hired, trained, and background-checked by us, never contractors or gig workers — are assigned to your home specifically. The same person comes back every time. Over visits they learn your home's patterns, which means they know where to focus before they walk in. What you share in the quote form is in their prep before they arrive. ##
Your home is transformed from a construction zone back into a clean, breathable living space. All fine dust is meticulously removed, surfaces are free of construction residues, and delicate finishes are restored and protected, leaving your home truly ready for occupancy.
Post-construction cleanup is a one-time, comprehensive deep clean designed to reset your home after renovation. It is not intended as a recurring maintenance service.
What kind of dust is this?
It's typically fine silica dust, which is much smaller and heavier than regular household dust, allowing it to settle deeply and be abrasive.
Can I use my regular vacuum?
Standard vacuums often lack the filtration to capture fine construction dust, meaning they can recirculate particles back into the air. HEPA filtration is essential.
Will my new surfaces be damaged?
Our trained cleaners use specific tools and non-abrasive techniques to remove residues like paint or caulk without scratching or dulling your new finishes.
How long does it take?
Post-construction cleanups are highly variable depending on the size of the renovated area and the extent of the debris, often requiring a full day or more for thorough completion.
Post-construction cleanup is a different scope than a standard clean — fine dust, debris, and residue on every surface. Tell us about your project in the quote form and we'll build a one-time construction cleanup checklist specific to your home.
Tell us about your construction project so we can build a post-construction cleanup plan for your home.
We'll ask about the scope of work, the surfaces affected, and the timeline. We'll scope the right approach before arriving.
