Post-construction cleaning is the thorough cleaning process performed after new construction or renovation work is complete. This process involves removing all construction debris, dust, and materials and thoroughly cleaning the space to prepare it for occupancy. 

 Post-construction cleaning typically includes:

• Removal of construction debris
• Dusting and wiping all surfaces
• Cleaning windows and glass
• Floor cleaning and polishing
• Fixture and hardware cleaning
• Cabinet and counter cleaning
• Bathroom and kitchen deep cleaning
• Disinfecting and sanitizing

Depending on the project, the clean-up process may also include carpet cleaning, HVAC duct cleaning, or pressure washing.

 Post-construction clean-up takes 1 to 5 days on average, depending on the property size, type of cleaning needed, and condition:

• Small homes (under 1,500 square feet): 1 to 2 days
• Medium homes (1,500 to 2,500 square feet): 2 to 3 days
• Large homes (over 2,500 square feet): 3 to 5 days

Complex projects or cleaning jobs that require special equipment may take longer than average.

 Rough cleaning is done to remove large trash, debris and dust before the final painting, flooring or finishes are installed. A final clean sanitizes and cleans the entire space so the building is move-in ready. 

 It’s highly recommended to clean your facility before an inspection. This ensures safe access around work areas for inspectors and visitors. 

 Safety is key. We recommend moving large and/or hazardous debris, so the technicians can properly access and clean the work areas. 

 The cost of post-construction cleaning services depends on a few key factors:

• Property Size:  Larger properties typically require more time and effort.
• Service Complexity:  Properties with intricate designs or detailed fixtures may require additional attention.
• Specific Requirements:  Custom requests like eco-friendly or intensive window cleaning may affect the cost. We understand that every project is unique, so we provide customized quotes.

  Several factors influence the total cost of post-construction cleaning:

• Project size: Larger spaces require more time, labor, and resources, directly affecting the total cost.
• New construction vs. renovation: New construction typically generates more debris and requires more intensive cleaning compared to renovation projects.
• Timeframe: Cleaning companies typically charge more for expedited services because the job requires additional manpower and may require overtime.
• Supplies & equipment needed: Specialized cleaning equipment or supplies for specific surfaces can increase costs.
• Accessibility: Cleaning difficult-to-reach areas or multiple stories may require additional time and equipment. Properties with high ceilings, complex architectural features, or limited access points often incur higher cleaning costs due to the need for special equipment like scaffolding or lifts.
• Disposal costs: Removal and disposal of construction debris may incur additional fees. Local disposal regulations, landfill fees, and the volume of waste all impact the final cost.
• Geographic location: Labor rates and service costs vary by region, affecting the total price. Cleaning prices are typically higher in regions with a higher cost of living.

Professional post construction cleaning services are ideal for project managers and superintendents who need construction cleanup done right and don’t have the time to do it themselves. Most reputable builders and construction project managers use post-construction cleanup as it is a tedious task that many delegate.

Hiring companies specializing in professional cleaning services is vital to ensure a thorough cleaning. Hiring a post-construction cleaning company is necessary for the project manager who wants to save money and time, avoid buying bulk cleaning supplies, and guarantee the final cleaning is excellent!
