Hear from Our Customers
You’ve invested months in your renovation or new construction. The last thing you want is fine drywall dust settling into your furniture or construction debris hiding in corners when you’re ready to move in.
Professional post-construction cleaning removes the microscopic particles that regular cleaning misses. We’re talking about the ultra-fine dust that gets into your HVAC system, clings to ceiling fans, and settles inside kitchen cabinets even when they’re closed.
Your new space deserves better than a quick sweep. You get a thorough, systematic cleaning that addresses every surface, from baseboards to light fixtures, ensuring your investment looks and feels complete.
We’ve served Duck Village and surrounding Somerville neighborhoods for over ten years. We understand the unique challenges of cleaning in this historic area where century-old homes meet modern renovations.
Duck Village’s tight-knit community of small apartment buildings and converted homes requires cleaners who know how to work efficiently in compact spaces. We’ve cleaned everything from Victorian three-deckers to modern condo renovations in this neighborhood that sits perfectly between Union Square and Inman Square.
Our family-run approach means you get personal attention and accountability. We’re not a faceless corporate service—we’re your neighbors who take pride in making Duck Village homes shine.
We start with a thorough assessment of your space, identifying problem areas where dust and debris have settled. This isn’t guesswork—we know exactly where construction mess hides.
Phase one removes all visible debris and large particles using professional-grade equipment. We protect your new finishes while systematically clearing every room from top to bottom.
Phase two targets the fine dust that standard cleaning misses. Using HEPA-filtered vacuums and specialized microfiber tools, we capture particles from drywall, wood, and insulation that would otherwise keep circulating through your air.
The final phase focuses on detail work—cleaning inside cabinets, wiping down window tracks, and ensuring your HVAC vents are clear. You get a space that’s truly ready for your furniture, belongings, and family.

Your post-construction cleaning includes debris removal, fine dust elimination, window cleaning, floor restoration, and HVAC system cleaning. We handle everything from paint splatter removal to sanitizing newly installed fixtures.
Duck Village’s mix of historic and modern construction presents unique challenges. Older buildings often have intricate woodwork and tight spaces where dust accumulates, while newer renovations involve modern materials that require specific cleaning approaches.
We use family-safe, eco-friendly products that won’t damage your new finishes or compromise indoor air quality. This matters especially in Duck Village’s dense housing where neighbors share walls and outdoor space.
Our service covers all interior surfaces, including areas contractors often overlook—inside electrical outlet covers, behind appliances, and in hard-to-reach corners where construction dust settles and stays.
Most Duck Village post-construction cleanings take 4-8 hours depending on your project size and scope. A typical three-bedroom apartment renovation takes about 6 hours to clean thoroughly.
We factor in the unique layout challenges of Duck Village’s older buildings—narrow hallways, steep stairs, and compact rooms require extra care and time. We’d rather spend the time needed to do it right than rush through and miss important details.
The timeline also depends on how much debris your contractors left behind. Some crews do excellent cleanup, while others leave significant dust and debris that requires more intensive work.
Post-construction cleaning addresses hazardous materials, ultra-fine dust, and debris that regular cleaning can’t handle. Construction dust contains particles from drywall, wood, insulation, and other materials that are much finer than household dust.
Standard household vacuums actually blow this fine dust back into the air instead of capturing it. We use HEPA-filtered equipment specifically designed to trap microscopic particles that would otherwise keep circulating through your home.
We also remove construction-specific residues like paint overspray, adhesive marks, and protective film from fixtures. These require specialized techniques and products that go far beyond routine cleaning methods.
Yes, HVAC cleaning is essential after construction and we include basic vent cleaning in our service. Construction dust gets sucked into your heating and cooling system, where it can circulate throughout your home for months.
We clean all accessible vents, replace filters, and remove dust buildup from return air grilles. For Duck Village’s older buildings with complex ductwork, we can coordinate with HVAC specialists for deeper system cleaning if needed.
Clean vents are especially important in Duck Village’s dense housing where efficient heating and cooling systems help manage energy costs. Dust-clogged systems work harder and cost more to operate.
All our products are family-safe and eco-friendly, which is crucial for Duck Village’s close-knit community where children play in shared spaces and pets are part of daily life.
We avoid harsh chemicals that can leave residues or create indoor air quality problems. Instead, we use plant-based cleaners and specialized equipment that rely on mechanical action rather than chemical strength.
This approach is particularly important after construction when your home may already have elevated dust levels and chemical odors from building materials. Our methods help restore healthy indoor air quality rather than adding more pollutants.
Make sure all construction work is completely finished before we arrive. This includes final touch-ups, fixture installation, and contractor cleanup. Cleaning too early means dust and debris will just accumulate again.
Remove any personal items you’ve already moved in and ensure we have clear access to all areas that need cleaning. In Duck Village’s compact homes, this might mean temporarily moving boxes or furniture to give us room to work effectively.
We’ll handle the rest—bringing all necessary equipment, supplies, and protective materials. You don’t need to provide anything except access and a final walk-through to ensure you’re satisfied with the results.
Costs vary based on your project size, the amount of debris left behind, and specific cleaning requirements. Most Duck Village post-construction cleanings range from $300-800 for typical residential projects.
We provide free estimates because every situation is different. A light renovation cleanup costs much less than a full gut renovation, and older Duck Village buildings sometimes require extra attention due to their unique architectural features.
The investment pays off quickly when you can move in immediately without spending days cleaning yourself, and when your new space looks and feels as good as it should after your renovation investment.
