You invested in this renovation for a reason. Now it’s time to actually enjoy it without spending weeks cleaning up sawdust and debris.
Post-construction cleaning transforms your space from a dusty construction site into the clean, healthy environment you envisioned. No more dust settling on your furniture days later. No more finding drywall chunks in unexpected corners. Just a thoroughly cleaned space that’s ready for you to move in, move furniture, or open for business.
The difference is immediate. Your floors shine instead of crunch underfoot. Your air is clean instead of filled with particles. Every surface is spotless, from the obvious ones to the places contractors never think to clean.
We’ve been serving Cambridge and surrounding communities for over a decade. As a family-owned business, we understand that your construction project represents a significant investment in your home or business.
We’ve cleaned up after countless renovations in Cambridge’s historic homes, modern condos, and bustling commercial spaces. From Harvard Square offices to residential projects in Porter Square, we know the unique challenges that come with cleaning up construction sites in our community.
Our team uses eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products because many of our Cambridge clients have children, pets, or simply prefer environmentally responsible solutions. We’re bonded, insured, and committed to treating every property with the same care we’d give our own homes.
We start with a walkthrough to assess exactly what needs attention. Construction sites vary widely, and we want to understand your specific situation before we begin.
Next, we remove all debris and construction materials that contractors left behind. This includes everything from obvious trash to fine dust that’s settled in places you might not think to look.
Then comes the deep cleaning. We clean every surface from ceiling to floor, including walls, windows, fixtures, and built-ins. We pay special attention to areas where dust tends to hide: inside cabinets, behind appliances, in air vents, and along baseboards.
Finally, we do a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets your standards. We’re not finished until you’re completely satisfied with the results.

Our post-construction cleaning service covers everything from small bathroom renovations to full home remodels. We handle kitchen renovations, basement finishing, commercial buildouts, and everything in between.
Cambridge’s mix of historic and modern properties presents unique cleaning challenges. Older homes often have intricate moldings and details that require careful attention, while newer constructions may have specialized surfaces and fixtures. We’re experienced with both.
We bring professional-grade equipment including HEPA vacuums for fine dust removal, specialized tools for cleaning different surfaces, and eco-friendly products that are safe for your family and the environment. Our team knows how to clean construction dust from hardwood floors without damage, remove adhesive residue from windows, and eliminate that chalky film that settles on everything after drywall work.
Every project includes debris removal, complete dusting of all surfaces, floor cleaning and mopping, window cleaning inside and out, fixture cleaning, and a thorough final inspection.
Most residential post-construction cleaning takes between 4-8 hours, depending on the size of your project and how much debris was left behind. A single-room renovation like a bathroom or kitchen typically takes 2-4 hours, while a whole-house project can take a full day or more.
The timeline also depends on the type of construction work completed. Drywall projects create fine dust that requires more detailed cleaning, while flooring projects might leave adhesive residue that needs special attention. We always provide a time estimate during our initial walkthrough so you know what to expect.
We can work around your schedule, including evenings and weekends, to ensure the cleaning doesn’t interfere with your move-in plans or business operations.
Our comprehensive service includes removal of all construction debris, complete dusting of walls, ceilings, and all surfaces, thorough cleaning of windows inside and out, deep cleaning of floors including removal of adhesive residue or paint splatters, cleaning of all fixtures and built-ins, and detailed cleaning of areas contractors often miss.
We also clean inside cabinets, drawers, and closets where dust settles during construction. Light fixtures, ceiling fans, and air vents get special attention since they collect significant amounts of dust. We’ll clean switch plates, outlet covers, and other detailed areas that make the difference between a quick cleanup and professional results.
If we find any damage or issues during cleaning, we’ll point them out so you can address them with your contractor while they’re still under warranty.
Absolutely. We use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products exclusively. This is especially important after construction when there may already be chemical residues from paints, adhesives, or other building materials.
Our cleaning solutions are safe for children and pets, and we can work around your family’s schedule to minimize any disruption. Many of our Cambridge clients have young children or pets, so we understand the importance of using products that won’t harm your family’s health.
We’re also careful about dust containment during cleaning. Construction dust can trigger allergies or respiratory issues, so we use HEPA filtration and proper ventilation techniques to ensure we’re removing dust rather than just moving it around your space.
Pricing varies based on the size of your project, the amount of debris, and the level of cleaning required. We provide free, no-obligation estimates after seeing your space in person because every construction project is different.
Generally, post-construction cleaning costs less than you might expect, especially when you consider the time and effort it would take to do it yourself properly. Plus, we have the professional equipment and experience to do it right the first time.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Our estimate will break down exactly what’s included so you know what to expect. We also offer flexible scheduling to work within your timeline and budget.
Yes, we can work around existing furniture and belongings, though the most thorough cleaning happens when spaces are empty. If you’ve already moved items back in, we’ll carefully move what we can and clean around larger pieces.
We recommend scheduling post-construction cleaning before moving furniture back in when possible. This allows us to clean every surface thoroughly, including areas that will be difficult to access later. It also prevents construction dust from settling on your belongings.
If furniture is already in place, we’ll use protective coverings and work carefully around your items. We’re experienced in working in occupied spaces and understand how to clean efficiently while protecting your belongings.
We can typically schedule your post-construction cleaning within 24-48 hours of your call, sometimes sooner for urgent situations. The key is making sure all construction work is completely finished before we begin.
We recommend waiting until all painting, flooring, and fixture installation is complete. If contractors are still making touch-ups or minor adjustments, it’s better to wait since our cleaning will need to be repeated.
For larger projects or during busy construction seasons, we recommend booking as soon as you know your completion date. We can always adjust the schedule if your project timeline changes, and we understand that construction doesn’t always finish exactly when planned.
