Hear from Our Customers
You walk into your completed project and actually breathe easy. No chalky dust coating your furniture the next morning. No mysterious particles floating in the air when sunlight hits just right. No worrying about what your kids or pets might be breathing in.
Your beautiful renovation or new construction finally looks and feels the way you imagined it. Clean surfaces that stay clean. Air that doesn’t make you cough. A space that’s actually ready for life, not just Instagram photos.
The stress of wondering “how am I going to clean all this?” disappears completely. You get to focus on enjoying your investment instead of becoming a full-time janitor for construction mess that shouldn’t be your responsibility anyway.
We’ve been serving Marlborough families and businesses for over ten years. We’re the local cleaning company that actually understands what construction projects leave behind—and more importantly, what it takes to make spaces truly livable again.
As a family-owned business, we treat every project like it’s our own home. Our bonded and insured team knows Marlborough’s construction landscape, from the historic downtown renovations to the new developments in the residential areas.
We’ve seen what happens when post-construction cleaning gets rushed or done wrong. That’s why we use eco-friendly, non-toxic products that are safe for your family while being tough enough to handle the mess contractors leave behind.
First, we handle the rough clean—removing large debris, adhesive residue, and visible construction materials. This isn’t just sweeping up; we’re eliminating the bulk of what’s making your space unlivable.
Next comes the detail clean. This is where our experience shows. We use HEPA-filtered equipment to capture microscopic particles that regular vacuums just blow around. Every surface gets properly cleaned, from baseboards to light fixtures to inside cabinets where dust loves to hide.
Finally, we do a complete walkthrough and touch-up clean. Construction dust has a way of settling for days after the work stops. We come back to catch anything that appeared after our initial cleaning, ensuring your space stays pristine.
Throughout the process, we protect your new finishes and work around delicate surfaces. You get a space that’s not just clean, but ready for immediate use.

Our post-construction cleaning covers everything contractors don’t. We remove fine drywall dust from every surface, including places you wouldn’t think to look. HVAC vents get cleaned so you’re not circulating construction debris every time your heat kicks on.
Windows get properly cleaned inside and out—not just wiped down, but actually cleaned so they’re streak-free and crystal clear. All fixtures, from light switches to cabinet hardware, get detailed attention to remove dust and fingerprints.
In Marlborough, we understand the unique challenges of both historic renovations and new construction. Older homes often have lead paint concerns, which we handle with appropriate safety measures. Newer builds tend to have more drywall dust and VOCs from modern materials.
We also know that Marlborough’s active construction market means you’re probably eager to move forward with your life. Our flexible scheduling works around your timeline, not the other way around.
Post-construction cleaning deals with hazardous materials that regular house cleaning never touches. We’re talking about silica dust, VOCs, and potentially dangerous particles that can lodge deep in your lungs. Construction dust is microscopic—much smaller than household dust—and requires specialized HEPA equipment to capture properly.
Regular cleaning also doesn’t address the adhesive residue, paint overspray, and debris that gets into every crevice during construction. Standard household vacuums actually make the problem worse by blowing fine particles back into the air through their exhaust systems.
Our process is designed specifically for construction aftermath, using industrial-grade equipment and techniques that protect your health while thoroughly cleaning your space.
Construction cleanup is genuinely dangerous without proper equipment and knowledge. Fine silica dust can cause long-term lung damage, and many construction materials contain chemicals that require specific handling. Without HEPA filtration systems, you’re just moving dangerous particles around.
The time investment is also massive. What takes our experienced team hours would take you days or weeks to do properly—if you even have access to the right equipment. Most homeowners don’t realize that construction dust settles in places like inside cabinet frames, HVAC systems, and behind appliances.
There’s also the risk of damaging your new finishes. Different surfaces require different cleaning approaches, and using the wrong products or techniques can permanently damage expensive materials you just invested in.
Timeline depends on the size and scope of your project, but most residential post-construction cleanings in Marlborough take 4-8 hours for our complete three-stage process. Smaller renovations like bathroom remodels might take 2-3 hours, while whole-house projects or new construction can take a full day.
We factor in Marlborough-specific considerations like older home layouts that tend to trap dust, or newer construction with more drywall finishing. The key is that we don’t rush the process—construction dust has a way of reappearing for days after work stops, which is why we include follow-up touch-ups.
We schedule around your needs and can work evenings or weekends to accommodate your move-in timeline. Most clients are amazed at how much faster we work compared to trying to tackle it themselves.
We exclusively use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products that are specifically chosen for safety around children and pets. These products are tough enough to handle construction residue but won’t leave harmful chemical residues that can affect indoor air quality.
Traditional construction cleaning often uses harsh chemicals that can cause respiratory irritation or skin sensitivity—exactly the opposite of what you want after dealing with construction dust. Our products are biodegradable and don’t emit VOCs that would add to any chemical concerns from building materials.
We also use proper ventilation techniques during cleaning to ensure any particles we disturb are immediately captured by our HEPA systems rather than settling elsewhere in your home. This is especially important in Marlborough’s older homes where air circulation can be limited.
Absolutely. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all post-construction cleaning. If you’re not completely satisfied with any aspect of our work, we’ll return and re-clean those areas at no additional charge. This isn’t just talk—we’ve built our reputation in Marlborough by standing behind our work.
Our guarantee covers everything from dust reappearing in areas we’ve cleaned to missed spots that become apparent after you start using the space. Construction cleaning is complex, and sometimes issues only become visible once you’re living in the space and natural light hits surfaces differently.
We also provide detailed documentation of what we’ve cleaned so there’s never any confusion about what was included in your service. Our goal is your complete peace of mind, not just a completed checklist.
Schedule post-construction cleaning after all construction work is completely finished, including final inspections and any punch-list items. Cleaning too early means we’ll just have to re-clean areas where additional work happens. Wait until contractors have removed all their equipment and materials from the site.
However, don’t wait too long after construction completion. Construction dust continues settling for days, and the longer it sits, the harder it becomes to remove completely. Ideally, we should start our cleaning within 2-3 days of project completion for the best results.
In Marlborough’s competitive real estate market, timing is often crucial for move-ins or property showings. We can work with tight timelines and coordinate with your other service providers to ensure everything happens in the right sequence. Just give us as much advance notice as possible to secure your preferred dates.
