Hear from Our Customers
You’ve watched your project come together for months. The contractors have packed up, but the fine dust coating every surface tells a different story. Construction debris hides in corners you didn’t know existed.
That’s where we step in. You get a space that’s actually ready for you to enjoy—no dust particles floating in the air, no sticky residue on new fixtures, no construction grit grinding under your feet. Just clean surfaces, fresh air, and the satisfaction of seeing your investment the way it was meant to look.
Your renovation deserves better than a half-hearted cleanup. You deserve to move in without spending your first week scrubbing.
We’ve been serving Brickbottom and surrounding areas for over a decade. We’re a family-run business that understands what it takes to transform a construction site into a livable space.
Brickbottom’s ongoing development means we’ve cleaned up after everything from historic building renovations in the Arts District to new construction projects throughout the neighborhood. We know the unique challenges that come with cleaning spaces that have dealt with the dust and disruption of Somerville’s construction boom.
Our team uses eco-friendly, family-safe products because we clean homes where people actually live. No harsh chemicals that linger in the air or leave residue on surfaces your family will touch.
We start with a walkthrough to assess exactly what your space needs. Every construction project leaves different challenges—some have more drywall dust, others have adhesive residue or paint overspray.
Our team arrives with commercial-grade equipment designed for construction cleanup. We tackle the big debris first, then move to detailed cleaning of every surface. We pay special attention to the places other cleaners miss: inside light fixtures, behind radiators, window tracks, and HVAC vents where fine dust settles.
The final step is a quality check to make sure we haven’t missed anything. We don’t consider the job done until you can run your hand along any surface without picking up dust or grit.

Your post-construction cleaning covers removal of all construction debris, thorough dust elimination from all surfaces, window cleaning inside and out, floor deep cleaning and protection, fixture and appliance cleaning, and HVAC vent cleaning.
In Brickbottom, we often encounter unique situations related to the neighborhood’s mix of historic renovations and new construction. Historic building renovations can involve lead paint remediation dust, while new construction typically generates more drywall and insulation particles. Our experience with both types of projects means we know exactly what to look for and how to handle it safely.
We also understand the tight timelines that come with Somerville’s development projects. Whether you’re a homeowner eager to move in or a contractor needing to hand over a clean space, we work efficiently without cutting corners.
Most residential post-construction cleaning projects take 4-8 hours depending on the size and scope of your renovation. A bathroom remodel might take 3-4 hours, while a full kitchen renovation or whole-house project can take a full day or more.
The timeline depends on how much construction dust has settled and what type of work was done. Drywall finishing creates fine particles that require more detailed cleaning, while flooring projects might leave adhesive residue that takes extra time to remove properly.
We provide realistic time estimates during our initial walkthrough so you can plan accordingly. We’d rather give you an accurate timeline upfront than rush through the job.
Construction cleanup requires specialized equipment and techniques that regular house cleaning doesn’t address. We use commercial-grade HEPA filtration systems to capture fine dust particles, specialized scrapers for adhesive removal, and protective equipment to handle potentially hazardous materials.
Construction debris includes materials like drywall dust, wood shavings, metal filings, and chemical residues that can be harmful if not handled properly. These materials require different cleaning solutions and disposal methods than everyday household dirt.
The level of detail is also much more intensive. We clean inside light fixtures, behind appliances, inside cabinets, and other areas that aren’t typically part of regular cleaning but become contaminated during construction work.
Yes, we bring all necessary cleaning supplies, equipment, and tools to every job. This includes commercial-grade vacuums with HEPA filtration, specialized brushes and scrapers, eco-friendly cleaning solutions, and protective equipment for our team.
We use family-safe, environmentally friendly products that effectively remove construction residues without leaving harmful chemical traces in your home. Our equipment is specifically chosen for construction cleanup—much more powerful than typical household cleaning tools.
You don’t need to purchase or provide anything. We come fully prepared to handle whatever your construction project has left behind.
Post-construction cleaning typically costs between $0.20-$0.50 per square foot, depending on the scope of work needed. A 1,000 square foot space usually ranges from $300-$600, while larger or more complex projects may cost more.
Factors that affect pricing include the type of construction work completed, amount of debris and dust, accessibility of the space, and specific cleaning requirements like window cleaning or floor refinishing. Historic building renovations often require more detailed work than new construction.
We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect. Our pricing is transparent with no hidden fees—what we quote is what you pay.
Yes, we regularly clean occupied homes during and after renovation projects. We understand that not everyone can move out during construction, especially for smaller projects like bathroom or kitchen renovations.
We work around your schedule and take extra precautions to minimize disruption to your daily routine. This includes using dust containment methods, working in sections to keep parts of your home usable, and coordinating with you on timing.
Our eco-friendly cleaning products are safe for families and pets, so you don’t need to worry about harmful chemical exposure. We can often complete the work while you’re at work or schedule it for weekends if that works better for your family.
The main thing is to ensure we have clear access to all areas that need cleaning. Remove any personal belongings, furniture, or equipment that might be in the way. If contractors left behind large debris or materials, let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
Make sure utilities like electricity and water are turned on, as we need both for our equipment and cleaning processes. If there are any areas you want us to pay special attention to or avoid entirely, mark them clearly or discuss them during our initial walkthrough.
Beyond that, we handle the rest. Our team comes prepared to work around typical post-construction conditions and will take care of protecting any finished surfaces or belongings that can’t be moved.
