Hear from Our Customers
You’ve invested months and thousands into your renovation. The work looks incredible, but there’s construction dust coating everything, debris hiding in corners, and that fine grit that makes surfaces feel rough instead of smooth.
“Broom clean” means contractors swept up the big stuff. It doesn’t mean your space is actually ready to live in. Professional post-construction cleaning bridges that gap – removing the fine particles that settle for days after work stops, eliminating residue on windows and fixtures, and addressing the deep-seated dust that regular cleaning can’t touch.
The difference is immediate and dramatic. Instead of spending your first weeks in your new space constantly dusting and re-cleaning, you walk into the finished result you actually paid for.
We’ve spent over ten years perfecting post-construction cleaning throughout Burlington and surrounding Massachusetts communities. As a family-owned business, we understand that your renovation represents more than just a project – it’s your vision finally coming to life.
Burlington’s mix of historic homes and modern construction presents unique cleaning challenges. Older homes have architectural details that trap construction dust in unexpected places. Newer builds often have different materials and finishes that require specific cleaning approaches. Our decade of local experience means we know exactly what each type of project demands.
Our commitment to eco-friendly, non-toxic products isn’t just better for your family – it’s essential for properly cleaning the surfaces you’ll be living with daily. Combined with our reputation for thoroughness and reliability, it’s why Burlington residents consistently choose us when contractors finish and real cleaning needs to begin.
The process begins with a detailed assessment of your space and the type of construction work completed. Different projects leave different cleaning challenges – drywall finishing creates fine dust that behaves differently than debris from flooring installation or kitchen renovation.
We work systematically from top to bottom using specialized equipment designed for construction cleanup. HEPA-filtered vacuums capture fine particles that regular vacuums would just recirculate. Professional-grade cleaning solutions remove residue and buildup that household cleaners can’t touch.
Every surface gets individual attention based on its material and condition. Windows receive streak-free treatment, new floors get appropriate care that won’t damage finishes, and fixtures are cleaned without harsh chemicals that could affect warranties or performance.
The final step is a thorough walkthrough to ensure nothing was missed and everything meets both our standards and your expectations. You shouldn’t have to point out missed spots or wonder if something was forgotten.

Post-construction cleaning in Burlington requires understanding both the construction process and local environmental factors. Winter projects often involve additional moisture management and salt residue from tracked-in snow. Summer construction creates different dust patterns and ventilation requirements.
Our service addresses every aspect of construction cleanup – from obvious surfaces like countertops and floors to hidden areas like inside cabinets, light fixtures, and air vents where dust inevitably settles. Kitchen and bathroom renovations receive additional sanitization appropriate for spaces where food preparation and personal hygiene occur.
Burlington’s historic architecture often includes intricate molding, built-in features, and period details that require careful cleaning techniques. These elements can trap construction dust in ways that standard cleaning approaches miss, but proper post-construction cleaning ensures these beautiful details enhance rather than detract from your finished space.
The goal extends beyond just removing visible dust and debris. It’s creating an environment that feels fresh, clean, and truly ready for daily life – not just a construction site that’s been swept.
Most residential post-construction cleanings in Burlington take 4-8 hours for typical home renovations, though larger projects or whole-house renovations may require a full day or multiple visits. The timeline depends more on the type of work completed than just square footage.
Drywall finishing creates fine dust that requires significantly more time to properly remove than simple fixture updates. Kitchen and bathroom renovations typically need additional time for sanitization and detailed cleaning of new appliances and fixtures. Projects involving multiple trades or extensive demolition generally require more thorough cleaning approaches.
We provide realistic timeframes upfront and work efficiently without rushing. The investment in proper timing pays off when you can immediately enjoy your space instead of spending weeks dealing with lingering dust and residue that inadequate cleaning leaves behind.
Construction dust contains particles from drywall, wood, insulation, and other building materials that are finer and more persistent than household dust. Regular cleaning methods often just redistribute these particles rather than actually removing them from your environment.
Post-construction cleaning requires specialized equipment like HEPA-filter vacuums and cleaning solutions formulated to handle construction residue, paint overspray, and adhesive remnants. The process is also more systematic – transforming a construction zone into a livable space rather than maintaining an already-clean environment.
The scope is dramatically different too. Post-construction cleaning includes areas regular cleaning doesn’t address – inside cabinets and drawers, removing tape residue, addressing paint splatters, and ensuring surfaces are actually clean rather than just appearing clean. It’s the difference between maintenance cleaning and restoration cleaning.
Most contractors provide “broom clean” service – removing large debris and doing a basic sweep or vacuum. This leaves behind fine dust, residue, and detailed cleaning that makes the difference between a finished project and a truly livable space.
You can hire us directly or ask your contractor to coordinate post-construction cleaning as part of project completion. Either approach works, but the critical factor is ensuring this step happens after all construction work is completely finished – including final paint touch-ups, fixture installation, and punch-list completion.
Many homeowners are surprised by how much cleaning is still needed after contractors finish. Professional post-construction cleaning isn’t an optional extra – it’s what transforms your investment into the space you actually want to live in.
Professional post-construction cleaning actually makes your space safer by removing potentially harmful construction dust and debris that can affect indoor air quality and pose health risks, especially for children and pets with developing respiratory systems.
We use eco-friendly, non-toxic products that are safe for families and pets – particularly important when cleaning newly accessible surfaces like inside cabinets or newly installed fixtures that will have ongoing contact with food, dishes, or personal items.
Construction dust can contain various particles that aren’t healthy for long-term exposure. Professional cleaning with proper equipment removes these particles from surfaces and air circulation systems, while also eliminating any small debris or sharp objects that could pose safety risks. The result is a healthier environment that’s truly ready for daily family life.
Post-construction cleaning in Burlington typically ranges from $300-800 for residential projects, with costs varying based on project scope, home size, and type of construction work completed. Larger or more complex projects require custom quotes to ensure accurate pricing.
This investment typically represents 1-3% of your overall renovation budget but makes the difference between a finished project and a space you can actually enjoy immediately. Many homeowners find that attempting DIY post-construction cleaning costs more in time, equipment rental, and often needing to hire professionals anyway when their efforts fall short.
We provide free estimates with transparent, no-hidden-fees pricing. We assess your specific situation and provide clear quotes upfront, making professional post-construction cleaning accessible and straightforward rather than adding stress to project completion.
Schedule post-construction cleaning 2-3 days after all construction work is completely finished, including final paint touch-ups, fixture installation, and punch-list completion. This timing allows stirred-up dust to settle while ensuring you can move back into your space as quickly as possible.
Cleaning too early often means construction dust from finishing work will settle on already-cleaned surfaces, requiring additional cleaning. However, waiting too long allows dust to become more embedded and difficult to remove, especially in Burlington’s varying seasonal conditions.
For projects with hard deadlines like moving dates or real estate showings, coordination with contractors becomes essential. We work within your timeline constraints to find optimal scheduling that delivers the best results without delaying your ability to enjoy your completed renovation.
