  • About Post Construction Cleaning

    Fresh drywall dust contains silica. In pre-1978 buildings, paint residue may contain lead. Fine particulate reaches deep into the lungs and settles into every fabric and vent in the apartment. A regular vacuum redistributes it into the air. Our crews use HEPA filtration and work top-down so the space is actually safe to occupy when we finish, not just visually clean.

    FAQs

    Most common Post Construction Cleaning questions

    Read these before booking Post Construction Cleaning

    What's included in a post-construction cleaning in NYC?

    Our post-construction cleaning service removes drywall dust, sawdust, debris, paint splatter, adhesive residue, and contractor mess from all surfaces. We scrub floors, wipe inside cabinets and drawers, clean windows and tracks, sanitize bathrooms and kitchens, remove stickers and protective film, and clear leftover construction materials. The goal: make your renovated space safe, clean, and move-in ready.

    How is post-construction cleaning different from deep cleaning?

    Post-construction cleaning addresses fine construction dust, drywall particulate, paint overspray, adhesive residue, and contractor debris using commercial-grade HEPA vacuums, scrapers, and protective equipment. Deep cleaning targets buildup and neglected areas in occupied homes. Post-construction often requires multiple passes and specialized tools to remove harmful dust according to EPA renovation guidelines.

    How long does post-construction cleaning take?

    A one-bedroom apartment after minor renovation takes 4–6 hours. Two-bedroom renovations take 6–8 hours. Gut renovations, major remodels, or heavily dust-covered spaces require 8–12 hours or multiple visits. Timing depends on renovation scope, square footage, and dust levels. We provide estimates based on photos or site walkthrough.

    Do I need to do anything before your team arrives?

    Ensure all construction work is completed, contractors have left the site, and the area is accessible. Large tools, materials, and equipment should be cleared. Surfaces should be safe to clean (paint dry, grout cured). We bring all necessary equipment including HEPA vacuums, scrapers, ladders, and protective gear.

    Is construction dust dangerous if not properly cleaned?

    Yes. Fine drywall dust, silica particulate, and lead paint residue (in pre-1978 buildings) can affect respiratory health and indoor air quality. Our HEPA filtration systems capture 99.97% of airborne particles following OSHA construction cleanup standards.

    Do you service my neighborhood for post-construction cleaning?

    Yes. We provide post-construction and renovation cleaning across Manhattan (Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown, Chelsea, Tribeca), Brooklyn (Williamsburg, Park Slope, DUMBO, Greenpoint), Queens (Astoria, Long Island City, Forest Hills), the Bronx, Staten Island, and Jersey City.

    Can you coordinate with my contractor's schedule?

    Absolutely. We work with contractors, landlords, and property managers to schedule post-construction cleaning at the optimal time—usually after final inspection but before move-in or occupancy.

    What if there's still dust after your cleaning?

    Construction dust can settle for days after initial cleanup. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If dust reappears within 48 hours of our service, we’ll return for a final pass at no additional charge.
