Professional Construction Cleanup Mid-Cambridge

Breathe Easy In Your Newly Renovated Space

You’ve invested thousands in your renovation. Don’t let construction dust undo that investment or put your family’s health at risk.

Professional post-construction cleaning eliminates dangerous silica dust, drywall particles, and debris that regular cleaning can’t handle. We use hospital-grade HEPA filtration that captures 99.97% of particles, including the microscopic ones that cause respiratory problems.

Your new floors, countertops, and finishes stay protected. Your HVAC system runs efficiently without dust clogging the filters. Most importantly, you can move back into a space that’s actually safe to breathe in.

Construction Cleaning Process Mid-Cambridge

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess the space and seal off areas to prevent dust from spreading. We never start cleaning without understanding what we’re dealing with.

Next comes debris removal—the big stuff that needs to go before we can address the real problem: microscopic dust. We use industrial HEPA vacuums, not regular shop vacs that just blow dust around.

Then we clean from top to bottom systematically. Ceilings, walls, windows, every surface that dust settles on. We finish with floors and HVAC vents because dust falls down, not up.

The final step is verification. We don’t consider the job done until you can run your finger along any surface and come away clean.

Post-Renovation Cleaning Services Mid-Cambridge

What's Included In Every Cleanup

Every post-construction cleaning includes complete dust removal from all surfaces, debris disposal, and HVAC vent cleaning. We bring our own industrial equipment—HEPA vacuums, microfiber cloths, and eco-friendly cleaning solutions.

In Mid-Cambridge, we see everything from small bathroom renovations to full home gut rehabs. Historic homes in the area often have lead paint concerns, which is why we use containment methods and proper disposal techniques.

We also clean construction dust from places most people forget: inside cabinets, window tracks, light fixtures, and behind appliances. The dust gets everywhere during construction, and we mean everywhere.

Your cleaning includes a final walkthrough where we check every room together. If you find dust we missed, we come back at no charge.

How dangerous is construction dust if I try to clean it myself?

Construction dust contains silica particles that are 2.5 microns or smaller—small enough to bypass your body’s natural defenses and lodge deep in your lungs. Regular household vacuums actually make the problem worse by blowing fine particles back into the air.

Drywall dust can cause persistent throat irritation, coughing, and breathing difficulties similar to asthma. Silica dust exposure increases the risk of lung cancer and silicosis over time.

Professional cleaning uses HEPA filtration and containment methods that capture these dangerous particles instead of spreading them around. We also wear proper respiratory protection that most homeowners don’t have access to.

A bathroom renovation typically takes 4-6 hours to clean properly. A kitchen renovation usually requires 6-8 hours. Full home renovations can take 1-2 full days depending on the size and scope of work.

The timeline depends on how much dust was generated, not just the size of the space. A small bathroom with tile work creates more dust than a large room with just painting.

We don’t rush the process because cutting corners means leaving dust behind. Most of our Mid-Cambridge clients are surprised how long proper post-construction cleaning takes, but they’re also surprised how much dust we remove that they couldn’t see.

Yes, HVAC cleaning is included in every post-construction service. Construction dust gets sucked into return vents and circulates through your entire system, spreading contamination to rooms that weren’t even renovated.

We remove and clean all vent covers, vacuum out accessible ductwork, and replace all filters. If your system was running during construction, we recommend having the entire ductwork professionally cleaned by an HVAC specialist.

Many homeowners don’t realize their heating and cooling system is spreading construction dust throughout their home until weeks after the project is finished. That’s why we address it immediately as part of our standard process.

Regular cleaning removes everyday dirt and dust. Post-construction cleaning removes hazardous materials that can damage your health and your new finishes.

Construction dust contains silica, metal particles, wood fibers, and chemical residues that regular cleaning products and equipment can’t handle safely. We use industrial HEPA vacuums, specialized cleaning solutions, and containment methods.

The cleaning process is also completely different. We work systematically from top to bottom, using techniques that prevent cross-contamination. Regular house cleaners don’t have the training or equipment to deal with construction debris safely.

We can start cleaning as soon as the contractors are completely finished and have removed their equipment. However, we recommend waiting 24-48 hours for dust to settle if possible.

Some contractors prefer us to do a preliminary cleaning before their final walkthrough, then return for touch-up cleaning after any punch list items are completed. We’re flexible with scheduling to work around your project timeline.

The most important thing is that all construction work is 100% complete. We can’t properly clean around active work, and new construction activity will just create more dust after we’re done.

Yes, we guarantee 100% satisfaction on every post-construction cleaning. If you find dust we missed anywhere in your home within 48 hours of completion, we return at no charge to address it.

Our guarantee covers all surfaces, including those hard-to-reach places like inside cabinets, window tracks, and behind fixtures. We stand behind our work because we know how thorough our process is.

We’ve been serving Mid-Cambridge for over ten years, and our reputation depends on getting it right the first time. That’s why we do a final walkthrough with you before considering any job complete.
