Hear from Our Customers
You’ve invested in your dream renovation or new construction project. Now you deserve to actually enjoy it without spending weeks battling construction dust that seems to appear everywhere, no matter how much you vacuum.
Professional post-construction cleaning means walking into a space that’s genuinely ready for life. No gritty residue on your countertops. No dust settling on freshly painted walls. No mysterious particles floating through the air every time you turn on the heat.
Your new space becomes what it was meant to be—a clean, healthy environment where you can immediately start making memories instead of making endless cleaning lists.
We’ve spent over ten years perfecting post-construction cleanup throughout Melrose and surrounding communities. As a family-run business, we understand that your project represents more than just construction—it’s your vision coming to life.
Our team specializes in the meticulous attention to detail that post-construction sites demand. We know exactly how to handle everything from fine drywall dust to paint splatter, using eco-friendly products that are safe for your family and pets.
Melrose homeowners choose us because we consistently deliver what we promise: spaces that are genuinely clean, not just surface-level tidy. Our local knowledge means we understand the unique challenges of older New England homes and newer construction alike.
The process starts with a thorough assessment of your space to understand exactly what needs attention. Every construction site is different, and our approach adjusts accordingly.
First comes debris removal and HEPA vacuuming to capture fine particles that regular vacuums miss. This includes construction dust from drywall, sawdust, and other materials that can linger in the air and settle on surfaces for weeks.
Next is detailed surface cleaning using appropriate methods for different materials—from delicate new finishes to sturdy flooring. Windows get special attention to remove film and construction residue. Finally, a complete walkthrough ensures every detail meets our standards before we consider the job complete.

Post-construction cleaning covers comprehensive dust and debris removal from all surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas like ceiling fans and light fixtures. All construction materials, stickers, and protective coverings get properly removed and disposed of.
Kitchen and bathroom deep cleaning includes cabinet interiors, appliance cavities, and behind fixtures where dust accumulates. Windows receive thorough cleaning inside and out, removing construction film and residue.
In Melrose’s mix of historic and newly constructed homes, this service is particularly valuable. Older homes often require extra care around lead paint concerns, while newer constructions deal with modern materials that create different types of dust and residue. We adjust our approach based on your specific situation and local building requirements.
The timeline depends entirely on your project’s scope and size. A single room renovation typically takes 3-5 hours for thorough cleaning, while whole-home projects can require 1-2 full days.
Factors that affect timing include the type of construction work completed, amount of dust generated, and specific materials used. Kitchen and bathroom renovations often take longer due to the detailed cleaning required around new fixtures and appliances.
We provide realistic time estimates during the initial assessment, and we work efficiently without rushing to ensure every surface is properly cleaned. Most clients find the thorough approach worth the time investment when they see the final results.
Absolutely. We use exclusively eco-friendly, non-toxic products that are safe for children and pets. This is especially important after construction when spaces may already have elevated dust levels.
Our cleaning process actually improves indoor air quality by removing construction particles that can cause respiratory irritation. HEPA filtration captures microscopic dust that regular cleaning methods miss.
All cleaning products are selected specifically to be effective on construction residues while maintaining safety standards. We can also work around your schedule to minimize disruption, completing the cleaning when it’s most convenient for your family.
Post-construction cleaning requires specialized equipment and techniques that go far beyond regular housekeeping. Construction sites contain fine particles, adhesive residues, and materials that demand professional-grade tools to remove properly.
Regular vacuums can’t capture the microscopic dust that construction creates. HEPA filtration systems and specialized cleaning solutions are necessary to achieve genuinely clean results rather than just moving dust around.
The process also includes safety considerations like proper handling of construction debris and potential hazardous materials. Massachusetts regulations require specific methods for renovation cleanup, particularly in older homes where lead paint might be a concern.
Yes, DIY projects often create the same cleaning challenges as professional construction work. Whether you’ve tackled a bathroom remodel or kitchen renovation yourself, the cleanup requirements are identical.
DIY projects sometimes create even more dust and debris because homeowners may not use the same containment methods that professional contractors employ. This means more thorough cleaning is often needed to restore the space.
We approach DIY cleanup with the same attention to detail and safety protocols as any construction site. We understand that your DIY project represents significant personal investment and effort, and we treat it with appropriate care.
Cleaning can begin as soon as construction work is completely finished and contractors have removed their equipment. It’s actually better to schedule cleaning sooner rather than later to prevent dust from settling deeper into surfaces and HVAC systems.
The ideal timing is within 24-48 hours of construction completion. This prevents fine particles from spreading throughout the home and makes the cleaning process more effective and efficient.
Our flexible scheduling means we can often accommodate tight timelines, especially for clients who need to move in quickly or have specific deadlines. Early booking ensures availability when your project reaches completion.
We service all of Melrose and extend throughout the surrounding Greater Boston communities. This includes both residential and commercial post-construction cleaning projects of any size.
Our local knowledge of Melrose’s mix of historic and contemporary properties means understanding the unique challenges each type of construction presents. Older homes may require special attention to potential lead paint concerns, while newer constructions deal with modern building materials.
Our familiarity with local building codes and renovation practices ensures we approach each project with appropriate methods and safety protocols. Being locally based also means quick response times and easy communication throughout the process.
