You’ve invested too much in your renovation to let construction dust ruin it. That fine layer of dust isn’t just annoying—it contains silica, metals, and particles that damage your lungs and dull your expensive new finishes.
Professional post-construction cleaning removes what regular vacuums can’t touch. We use HEPA-filtered equipment that captures 99.97% of dangerous particles, including the microscopic dust that settles in your HVAC system and spreads throughout your home.
Your space becomes truly move-in ready. No more dust settling on furniture weeks later. No more respiratory irritation from particles floating in the air. Just clean, safe rooms where you can actually enjoy your investment.
We’ve been serving Ball Square families for over a decade. We’re the local cleaning company that actually shows up when we say we will, uses products that won’t harm your kids or pets, and doesn’t cut corners when money’s on the line.
Ball Square homeowners know construction projects here aren’t cheap—the median home price is over $1 million. That’s why they call us when contractors leave behind the mess that could damage their investment.
We’re family-owned, which means when you call, you’re talking to people who live and work in this community. We understand what it’s like to manage a renovation in one of Somerville’s most desirable neighborhoods.
First, we assess what contractors left behind. Construction dust isn’t all the same—drywall dust behaves differently than sawdust, and both require specific removal techniques. We identify what we’re dealing with before we start.
Next comes the systematic removal. We start with rough cleaning to remove large debris, then move to HEPA-filtered vacuuming that captures particles your household vacuum would just blow around the room. Every surface gets attention—walls, ceilings, inside cabinets, air vents.
Finally, we do the detail work that makes the difference. Damp wiping with microfiber cloths, cleaning inside light fixtures, replacing air filters, and making sure no dust remains in the places contractors never think to clean. You get a space that’s actually ready to live in.

Our post-construction cleaning covers everything contractors should have cleaned but didn’t. We remove dust from inside cabinets, clean construction residue off windows, vacuum air ducts, and wipe down every surface with eco-friendly products that won’t leave chemical residues.
In Ball Square, where many homes are historic properties undergoing careful renovations, we understand the importance of protecting original features while removing modern construction mess. We clean around delicate molding, restore the shine to hardwood floors, and ensure plaster dust doesn’t settle into the grain of exposed brick or stone.
You also get our guarantee that the job’s done right. If you find dust we missed within 24 hours, we come back and fix it. No arguments, no additional charges. That’s how confident we are in our process.
Most Ball Square post-construction cleaning projects take 4-8 hours, depending on the size of your renovation and how much dust contractors left behind. A single-room bathroom renovation might take 3-4 hours to clean properly, while a full kitchen remodel typically requires 6-8 hours.
The timeline depends on access to all areas and the type of construction work completed. Drywall projects create more fine dust that requires additional time to remove completely. We always provide realistic timeframes during our free estimate, so you know exactly when your space will be ready.
We can usually complete most residential projects in Ball Square in one day. For larger renovations or whole-house projects, we might schedule over two days to ensure thoroughness without rushing the process.
Yes, construction dust poses real health risks, especially for children, elderly family members, and anyone with respiratory conditions. Construction dust contains silica particles, metal fragments, chemical residues, and sometimes asbestos or lead from older Ball Square homes.
These particles are small enough to penetrate deep into your lungs, where they can cause irritation, trigger asthma attacks, and contribute to long-term respiratory problems. The CDC specifically warns about silica dust exposure, which is common in drywall and concrete work.
Regular household cleaning won’t remove these particles effectively. Standard vacuums actually blow fine dust back into the air, making the problem worse. Professional HEPA filtration and proper removal techniques are necessary to eliminate health risks and make your renovated space truly safe for your family.
You can attempt it, but most homeowners don’t have the right equipment or techniques to remove construction dust safely and completely. Regular vacuums blow fine particles back into the air, and standard cleaning methods often just move dust around rather than removing it.
Professional post-construction cleaning requires HEPA-filtered vacuums, specialized microfiber cloths, proper ventilation techniques, and knowledge of where dust settles and hides. We also have the protective equipment necessary to clean safely without exposing ourselves or your family to harmful particles.
The bigger issue is time and thoroughness. What takes us 6 hours with professional equipment might take you 2-3 days with household tools, and you still won’t achieve the same level of cleanliness. Many Ball Square homeowners find it’s worth the investment to have it done right the first time.
Yes, HVAC cleaning is a critical part of our post-construction service. Construction dust gets pulled into your heating and cooling system, where it clogs filters, settles in ductwork, and gets blown throughout your home every time the system runs.
We remove and replace air filters, clean accessible ductwork, and wipe down air vents and returns. For Ball Square homes with central air systems, this prevents months of dust circulation that would otherwise continue contaminating your clean spaces.
If your HVAC system was running during construction, professional duct cleaning might be necessary beyond our standard service. We can assess your system during our cleaning and recommend additional services if needed. Most residential post-construction cleanings include basic HVAC attention that solves the immediate dust circulation problem.
We use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products that are safe for your family and pets while still being effective against construction residues. Our products break down adhesive residues, remove paint overspray, and clean surfaces without leaving chemical residues that could affect indoor air quality.
This is especially important in Ball Square homes where families with children and pets need cleaning solutions that won’t create additional health concerns. Our products are also safe for the historic surfaces and quality finishes common in this neighborhood’s renovated homes.
We avoid harsh chemicals that might damage new finishes or create strong odors in your freshly renovated space. Everything we use is designed to clean effectively while maintaining the indoor air quality you expect in your newly improved home.
Post-construction cleaning in Ball Square typically ranges from $300-800 for most residential projects, depending on the size of the renovation, amount of dust, and specific cleaning requirements. A single-room project usually costs $300-500, while whole-house renovations range from $600-800.
The investment is worth it when you consider the time saved, health protection provided, and prevention of damage to your new finishes. Ball Square homeowners often spend $50,000-200,000 on renovations—professional cleaning to protect that investment makes financial sense.
We provide free, detailed estimates that break down exactly what’s included in your cleaning service. No surprises, no hidden fees. You’ll know the exact cost before we start, and we guarantee the price we quote is the price you pay.
