You’ve watched your construction project take shape for months. Now you’re staring at layers of drywall dust coating every surface, sawdust in places you didn’t know existed, and debris scattered throughout what should be your dream space.
The reality hits when you walk through that “finished” project. Your contractor did excellent work, but construction is messy business. Dust settles into ventilation systems, fine particles cling to walls and windows, and that new space smell is more like construction site than fresh beginning.
Here’s what changes when professional post-construction cleaning handles the transformation. You walk into a space that actually feels finished. Surfaces gleam without dust film. The air smells clean, not like sawdust and drywall compound. Every corner, every crevice, every surface gets the attention it needs to go from construction zone to livable space.
We’ve spent over ten years turning construction chaos into clean reality throughout Teele Square and the greater Waltham area. As a family-owned business, we understand that your newly constructed or renovated space represents a significant investment in your future.
We bring professional-grade equipment and eco-friendly products to every job site. We’ve seen every type of construction mess, from light renovation dust to major build debris, and we know exactly what it takes to get your space truly clean and ready.
What sets us apart in Teele Square’s discerning market is our attention to the details other cleaning services miss. We clean inside light fixtures, wipe down baseboards, and ensure ventilation systems are free of construction dust that could circulate for months if left untreated.
Our process starts with a walkthrough of your space while it’s still in construction mode. This allows us to understand the scope of work and identify areas that will need special attention once construction wraps up.
Once contractors finish their work and remove major debris, our cleaning process begins with dust control. Every surface gets wiped down, starting from ceiling fans and light fixtures, working systematically downward. Walls, windows, and all horizontal surfaces receive thorough attention to remove construction residue.
Floor cleaning comes next, whether it’s hardwood that needs careful treatment to avoid damage, tile that requires grout cleaning, or carpet that needs professional extraction to remove embedded dust. We use specialized equipment to ensure construction dust doesn’t just get pushed around but actually gets eliminated.
Final details include cleaning inside cabinets, wiping down all fixtures and hardware, and ensuring every surface passes the white glove test. The goal is simple: when we finish, your space should be ready for immediate occupancy without any trace of construction activity.

Post-construction cleaning goes far beyond regular house cleaning. Construction creates unique challenges that require specialized approaches and equipment to address properly.
Drywall dust, for example, is incredibly fine and gets into places you wouldn’t expect. It settles into electrical outlets, inside cabinet hinges, and throughout HVAC systems. Regular cleaning methods just push this dust around rather than eliminating it completely.
In Teele Square’s historic homes, many of which undergo renovation to blend original character with modern amenities, our cleaning process must respect both old and new materials. Hardwood floors that may be decades old require different treatment than new tile installations. Original windows need careful cleaning to avoid damage while new fixtures can handle more aggressive cleaning methods.
Our service includes complete debris removal, thorough dusting of all surfaces including those typically missed like ceiling fans and light fixtures, window cleaning inside and out, floor cleaning appropriate to the surface type, and sanitization of all bathrooms and kitchen areas. Every surface that could have been affected by construction activity gets professional attention to ensure your space is truly ready for use.
The timeline depends on your space size and construction scope, but most residential projects take one to two days for complete cleaning. A typical home renovation might need eight to twelve hours of cleaning time, while new construction often requires more intensive work.
The process can’t be rushed because construction dust settles into every possible crevice and surface. Each room needs systematic attention, from ceiling to floor, to ensure nothing gets missed. Larger spaces or those with extensive construction work may need additional time for proper dust removal and detail cleaning.
Scheduling flexibility is crucial since construction timelines often shift. We work around final inspections, last-minute contractor work, and your move-in schedule to ensure cleaning happens at the optimal time for best results.
Absolutely, and this is actually one of the most important reasons to hire professional post-construction cleaning. Construction dust and debris can contain particles harmful to children and pets, including drywall compounds, sawdust, and other materials that shouldn’t be inhaled.
We use eco-friendly, non-toxic products that are safe for families while being effective against construction residue. Our cleaning process also includes proper dust extraction rather than just moving dust around, which is crucial for maintaining healthy indoor air quality.
Special attention goes to areas where children and pets spend time, ensuring floors are completely free of small debris that could be hazardous. The goal is creating a space that’s not just visually clean but genuinely safe for your family to occupy immediately.
Post-construction cleaning is far more intensive than regular house cleaning and requires specialized equipment and techniques. Construction creates unique challenges like fine drywall dust that gets into electrical outlets, sawdust in cabinet hinges, and debris in places regular cleaning never addresses.
Our cleaning process involves different tools, including industrial vacuums with HEPA filtration, specialized brushes for textured surfaces, and cleaning solutions designed for construction residue. Every surface needs attention, not just the obvious ones, because construction dust travels throughout the entire space.
Regular cleaning maintains already-clean spaces, while post-construction cleaning transforms construction zones into livable areas. It’s the difference between maintenance and complete restoration, requiring much more time, attention, and expertise to achieve proper results.
While it’s possible to do partial cleaning around ongoing work, the most effective approach is waiting until all construction activity is completely finished. Construction dust spreads throughout the entire space, so cleaning one room while work continues in another often means re-cleaning areas that were already completed.
However, we understand that project timelines sometimes require flexible approaches. We can work with your contractor to clean completed sections while protecting them from ongoing construction activity, though this may require multiple visits to achieve optimal results.
The best results come from scheduling cleaning after the final contractor leaves and before you move in. This ensures every surface gets proper attention without risk of re-contamination from ongoing work, giving you the cleanest possible space for occupancy.
Yes, we provide free estimates for all post-construction cleaning projects. Our estimate process includes an on-site walkthrough to assess the scope of work needed and identify any areas requiring special attention or equipment.
During the walkthrough, you’ll get a clear breakdown of what’s included in our cleaning service, the timeline for completion, and transparent pricing with no hidden fees. This allows you to plan your move-in schedule and budget accordingly.
The estimate also covers any specific concerns you have about your space, whether it’s protecting particular surfaces, working around specific timelines, or addressing areas that need extra attention. Every project is different, and our estimate ensures the cleaning plan matches your exact needs and expectations.
The most important preparation is ensuring all construction work is completely finished and contractors have removed their tools and major debris. The space should be empty of furniture and personal belongings to allow thorough cleaning of all surfaces.
Make sure utilities are functioning, including electricity for equipment and water for cleaning. If any areas need special protection or have specific cleaning requirements, communicate these during the initial walkthrough so we can address them in the cleaning plan.
Remove any remaining construction materials, packaging, or debris that contractors may have left behind. The cleaner the starting point, the more effectively we can focus on dust removal and detail work rather than basic debris clearing, ensuring you get the best possible results for your investment.
