Hear from Our Customers
You’ve invested in your dream renovation or new construction. The last thing you want is to spend weeks breathing construction dust or worrying about hidden debris that could harm your family.
Professional post-construction cleaning means walking into a space that’s actually ready to live in. No lingering dust coating your new finishes. No stray nails hiding in corners. No chemical residues affecting your indoor air quality.
You get to enjoy your investment immediately, safely, and completely. Your new space becomes what you envisioned—not a construction site that happens to have new walls.
We’ve been serving Arlington and surrounding communities for over a decade as a trusted, family-owned cleaning company. We’ve seen what happens when construction cleanup is done wrong—and more importantly, we’ve perfected what it takes to do it right.
Our team uses professional-grade equipment and eco-friendly products that are safe for your family, pets, and the environment. We understand Arlington’s mix of historic homes and new construction, and we know how to handle the unique challenges each project presents.
From small bathroom renovations to whole-house builds, we’ve helped hundreds of local families transition from construction chaos to move-in ready perfection.
Our post-construction cleaning happens in three distinct phases, each designed to address different types of debris and contamination.
Phase one tackles the big stuff—removing construction debris, protective coverings, and obvious waste materials. We clear pathways and create a safe working environment for the detailed cleaning ahead.
Phase two focuses on dust removal using industrial HEPA filtration systems. We clean from top to bottom, addressing every surface including hard-to-reach areas like air vents, light fixtures, and behind appliances. This phase removes the fine particles that cause health concerns and damage new finishes.
Phase three delivers the finishing touches—polishing fixtures, cleaning windows to a streak-free shine, and conducting a final walkthrough to ensure every corner meets our standards. You’re left with a space that’s not just clean, but truly ready for you to move in and enjoy.

Our post-construction cleaning service addresses every aspect of construction aftermath that affects your health, safety, and enjoyment of your new space.
We remove all construction dust using specialized HEPA filtration equipment that captures particles invisible to the naked eye. This isn’t just about appearance—construction dust can contain silica, drywall compounds, and other materials that pose serious respiratory risks, especially to children and elderly family members.
Arlington’s building boom means more families are dealing with post-construction cleanup challenges. Whether you’re in Arlington Center working on a historic home renovation or in Arlington Heights with a new build, we understand the local construction landscape and the specific cleaning challenges each type of project creates. Our team knows how New England weather affects dust settling, how local building materials behave during cleanup, and what it takes to get your Arlington home truly ready for your family.
The timeline depends on your project’s size and scope, but most residential post-construction cleanings in Arlington take between 4-8 hours for a thorough, three-phase process.
A small bathroom renovation might need just half a day, while a whole-house construction project could require a full day or even two days for larger homes. We don’t rush the process because cutting corners means missing the fine dust and debris that can cause problems later.
We schedule our cleaning to align with your contractor’s timeline and your move-in date. Most Arlington clients prefer to schedule us immediately after final inspections but before moving furniture back in—this gives us complete access and ensures your belongings stay clean.
Yes, construction dust poses real health risks, especially for children, elderly family members, and anyone with respiratory conditions. Construction dust isn’t just dirt—it contains drywall particles, silica from concrete work, wood dust, and potentially harmful chemical residues from paints and adhesives.
These particles are fine enough to become airborne and stay suspended for hours, meaning you’re breathing them long after construction ends. Children are particularly vulnerable because their lungs are still developing, and prolonged exposure can trigger asthma or cause developmental issues.
Professional cleaning with HEPA filtration removes these health hazards completely. We don’t just push dust around with regular cleaning methods—we capture and remove the particles that pose risks to your family’s health. It’s not worth gambling with your family’s wellbeing when professional removal is both affordable and thorough.
Post-construction cleaning requires specialized equipment, techniques, and safety protocols that regular house cleaning simply doesn’t address. Construction dust is different from household dust—it’s finer, more persistent, and potentially hazardous.
We use industrial-grade HEPA vacuum systems that capture particles down to 0.3 microns, while regular vacuums actually recirculate fine dust back into your air. Our team wears proper respiratory protection and follows safety protocols for handling potentially hazardous materials like drywall dust or chemical residues.
The process itself is more intensive. We clean in phases, starting with debris removal, then systematic dust elimination from top to bottom, and finally detail work on fixtures and surfaces. Regular cleaning services aren’t equipped for this level of contamination and don’t have the specialized tools needed to address construction aftermath safely and thoroughly.
We handle post-construction cleaning for virtually every type of residential project in Arlington, from small bathroom updates to complete home renovations and new construction builds. Each project type creates different cleaning challenges, and we adjust our approach accordingly.
Kitchen renovations generate dust from cabinet installation and tile work. Bathroom projects often involve adhesive residues and fine particles from tile cutting. Whole-house renovations create dust that spreads throughout the entire property. New construction involves removing protective materials and addressing dust from multiple trades working simultaneously.
We also clean up after additions, basement finishing, attic conversions, and outdoor projects that affect indoor spaces. What we don’t handle are hazardous materials like asbestos or lead paint—those require certified specialists. But for standard construction cleanup involving dust, debris, and general construction residue, we have the equipment and expertise to restore your space completely.
The ideal time is immediately after your contractor completes work and passes final inspections, but before you move furniture back or start using the space regularly. This timing gives us complete access to clean thoroughly without working around your belongings.
Don’t wait weeks after construction ends. Construction dust continues circulating and settling, making cleanup more difficult and allowing more contamination to spread throughout your home. The sooner we can address it, the more effective and efficient the cleaning process becomes.
We recommend booking your cleaning date when your project is about 80% complete, then confirming the exact timing as work wraps up. Arlington contractors often work on tight schedules, especially during busy renovation seasons, so early booking ensures we’re available when you need us. Most of our clients schedule for the day after their contractor’s final walkthrough.
The best preparation is actually minimal preparation. Don’t attempt to clean up construction dust yourself—you’ll likely spread it around and potentially create safety hazards by stirring up particles without proper filtration equipment.
Do ensure your contractor has removed all tools, equipment, and obvious construction materials. Make sure utilities like electricity and water are fully functional, as we need both for our cleaning process. Remove any personal items or furniture you’ve already moved back into the space.
If possible, keep windows closed for a few hours before we arrive to let dust settle onto surfaces where we can capture it effectively. Don’t use your HVAC system until after we’ve completed cleaning—running air circulation before professional dust removal just spreads contamination throughout your home. Once we’re finished, we’ll advise you on the best practices for maintaining your newly cleaned space.
