Hear from Our Customers
You’ve invested months and thousands of dollars in your renovation. The contractors are gone, but they left behind a mess that’s keeping you from enjoying what you paid for.
Construction dust isn’t just unsightly—it’s everywhere. In your vents, coating your new fixtures, settled into corners you can’t reach. That fine powder from drywall and power tools doesn’t just sweep away. It requires professional equipment and techniques to truly eliminate.
When we’re done, you’ll breathe easier. Your surfaces will actually be clean, not just dust-free for a day. You can move your furniture back in, invite people over, and finally live in the space you dreamed about during all those weeks of construction chaos.
We’ve been serving Davis Square and surrounding Somerville neighborhoods for over a decade. As a family-owned business, we understand what it means to treat your home with the same care we’d give our own.
Davis Square residents choose us because we know this community. We’ve cleaned homes after gut renovations near Tufts, post-construction cleanup in those beautiful historic properties, and everything in between. Our team is bonded, insured, and committed to using eco-friendly products that are safe for your family and pets.
We’ve built our reputation on being the cleaning company that actually shows up when we say we will, does exactly what we promise, and leaves your space genuinely clean—not just surface-level tidy.
First, we remove all the obvious debris—leftover materials, packaging, and larger construction waste. This isn’t just a sweep-up; we’re clearing everything that shouldn’t be in your finished space.
Next comes the detail work that separates professional post-construction cleaning from a regular house cleaning. We tackle the fine dust that’s settled on every surface, inside light fixtures, on ceiling fans, and in those hard-to-reach spots. Our professional-grade equipment captures the particles that regular vacuums just push around.
Finally, we sanitize and polish. Bathrooms get properly disinfected, kitchen surfaces are cleaned to food-safe standards, and windows are left streak-free. When we’re finished, you’ll have a space that’s not just clean—it’s ready for you to actually live in and enjoy.

Our post-construction cleaning covers everything contractors leave behind. We remove all construction debris, from drywall scraps to packaging materials. Every surface gets properly cleaned—not just wiped down, but actually cleaned with the right products and techniques.
In Davis Square’s older homes, post-renovation cleaning requires extra attention to detail. We clean inside and around the beautiful original features these homes are known for, ensuring no construction dust is trapped in moldings or historic details. Our team knows how to work with both modern renovations and period features.
We handle the areas most people miss: inside light fixtures, air vents, window tracks, and baseboards. Your newly installed fixtures get the careful cleaning they need to actually shine. Kitchen appliances are cleaned inside and out, bathroom fixtures are properly sanitized, and floors are cleaned with the appropriate products for their specific material.
Most post-construction cleaning projects in Davis Square take between 4-8 hours, depending on the size of your space and the extent of the construction work. A single room renovation might take 2-3 hours, while a full home gut renovation can take a full day or more.
The timeline depends on several factors: how much debris the contractors left behind, whether we need to clean inside appliances and fixtures, and the level of detail required. We always provide an accurate time estimate during our initial walkthrough so you can plan accordingly.
We work efficiently but thoroughly. Our goal is to get your space move-in ready as quickly as possible without cutting corners on the quality you expect.
Post-construction cleaning requires specialized equipment and techniques that go far beyond regular house cleaning. Construction dust is finer and more pervasive than everyday dirt—it settles into places regular cleaning never addresses, like inside light fixtures, air ducts, and the smallest crevices.
We use professional-grade HEPA vacuums that capture particles regular vacuums can’t handle. Our cleaning products are specifically chosen to remove construction residue, paint overspray, and adhesive remnants without damaging your new finishes. We also focus on areas that are typically off-limits during regular cleaning, like inside new appliances and freshly installed fixtures.
The safety aspect is crucial too. We remove potential hazards like stray nails, sharp metal pieces, and harmful dust that can trigger respiratory issues. Regular house cleaning simply isn’t equipped to handle these post-construction challenges.
Absolutely. We use only non-toxic, environmentally safe cleaning products that are effective against construction debris while being safe for your family and pets. This is especially important after construction when you want to move back into a truly healthy environment.
Many Davis Square families choose us specifically because we don’t use harsh chemicals that can linger in the air or on surfaces. Our eco-friendly products are just as effective at removing construction dust, paint residue, and other post-renovation mess, but they won’t compromise your indoor air quality.
We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between a thoroughly clean space and a safe environment. Our products prove you can have both, which is why we’ve used them exclusively for over ten years of serving Davis Square families.
Post-construction cleaning costs vary based on the size of your space, the extent of construction work, and specific cleaning requirements. Most Davis Square homeowners invest between $400-800 for comprehensive post-construction cleaning, though larger projects may cost more.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. During our initial consultation, we assess exactly what needs to be done and provide a detailed estimate. Factors that affect pricing include square footage, amount of debris, whether we need to clean inside appliances, and any special requirements for delicate surfaces or historic features.
Many homeowners find our service saves them money compared to attempting the cleanup themselves—when you factor in equipment rental, cleaning supplies, and the time investment, professional post-construction cleaning often costs less than the DIY approach.
Yes, we have extensive experience with Davis Square’s historic properties and understand the unique considerations these homes require. Many of our clients live in beautifully renovated historic homes where original features need special care during post-construction cleaning.
We know how to clean around original hardwood floors, vintage fixtures, and period details without causing damage. Our team is trained to use appropriate products and techniques for different materials and finishes, from original plaster walls to restored wood trim. We take extra care with delicate surfaces while still achieving the thorough clean your newly renovated space needs.
Historic home renovations often create unique challenges—dust settling into original moldings, debris around restored features, and the need to clean both old and new elements together. Our decade of experience in Davis Square has taught us exactly how to handle these situations professionally and safely.
The best time to schedule post-construction cleaning is immediately after your contractors have finished all work and removed their equipment, but before you start moving furniture back in. This gives us full access to clean every surface thoroughly without having to work around your belongings.
We recommend waiting until any final touch-ups are complete and all construction materials have been removed from the property. If you’re having multiple phases of work done, it’s often most cost-effective to wait until everything is finished rather than cleaning after each phase.
Many Davis Square clients schedule us for the day before they plan to move furniture back in or host their first gathering in the newly renovated space. This timing ensures you get the maximum benefit from our thorough cleaning and can immediately start enjoying your investment.
