You planned for the renovation timeline. You budgeted for the materials. But you probably didn’t plan on spending two weeks with a shop vac, trying to get construction dust out of places you didn’t even know existed.
That’s where we come in. We handle the aftermath so you can actually enjoy your newly finished space instead of cleaning it. No more finding drywall dust on your coffee three months later. No more wondering if that lingering smell is normal.
Your project’s complete when you can walk in and feel at home—not when the last contractor leaves.
We’ve been cleaning up construction messes in Powder House Square and surrounding areas for over ten years. We’re a family-run business, which means when you call, you’re not getting a call center—you’re getting people who understand that your home matters.
The thing about Powder House Square is that many of these homes are historic. Built before 1939, with character that can’t be replicated. When you’re renovating a home like that, you need cleaners who understand the difference between regular housekeeping and construction cleanup.
We use eco-friendly, non-toxic products because we know families with kids and pets live in these homes. Your renovation should make your home healthier, not fill it with harsh chemical residue.
First, we do a walkthrough while contractors are finishing up. This helps us understand what we’re dealing with and plan accordingly. Most cleaning companies show up blind—we don’t.
We start with rough cleaning: removing visible debris, construction materials, and the obvious mess. Then comes the detail work—this is where experience matters. Construction dust settles in HVAC vents, light fixtures, window sills, and inside cabinets. Places you wouldn’t think to check until months later.
The final phase happens after everything settles. Because even after thorough cleaning, some dust will resurface. We come back to handle those final details, ensuring your space is truly move-in ready.
Most residential jobs take 1-2 days depending on the size and scope of your project. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.

Complete debris removal from all areas. Dust removal from surfaces, fixtures, vents, and hidden areas where construction dust accumulates. Deep cleaning of all floors, including getting adhesive residue and paint splatters off hardwood and tile.
Kitchen and bathroom sanitization, because these areas collect the most construction dust and debris. Window cleaning inside and out—construction projects leave a film that regular cleaning won’t remove. HVAC vent cleaning to prevent dust from circulating through your home for months.
In Powder House Square, we see a lot of kitchen and bathroom renovations in these historic homes. These projects generate fine dust that gets into everything. We pay special attention to cabinet interiors, appliance cleaning, and ensuring all surfaces are not just clean, but actually safe for food preparation and daily use.
We also handle exterior cleanup around your property, including construction debris removal from landscaping and walkways. Your neighbors will thank you.
Most residential post-construction cleaning in Powder House Square runs between $500-$800, depending on your home’s size and the scope of construction work. We price based on square footage and the type of cleaning required, not arbitrary hourly rates.
Kitchen and bathroom renovations typically need less extensive cleaning than whole-house projects. Adding a room or finishing a basement creates more dust and debris. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
The cost might seem significant, but consider this: the average Powder House Square home is worth over $1.2 million. Protecting that investment with proper post-construction cleaning is worth every penny.
Most residential post-construction cleaning takes 1-2 days for the initial cleaning, with a follow-up visit about a week later for final touches. Smaller projects like single-room renovations can often be completed in one day.
The timeline depends on your project scope and home size. A kitchen renovation in a typical Powder House Square home takes about one full day. Whole-house renovations or additions require 2-3 days of initial cleaning.
We schedule the work around your move-in timeline. If you need to be in your home by a specific date, we’ll prioritize accordingly. Most of our clients prefer to complete the cleaning before moving furniture back in—it’s much more efficient that way.
Yes, construction dust can pose serious health risks, especially for children, elderly family members, and anyone with asthma or respiratory conditions. Drywall dust, sawdust, and other construction particles can irritate airways and cause long-term breathing problems if not properly removed.
Construction dust is much finer than regular household dust. It gets into HVAC systems and circulates throughout your home for months if not properly cleaned. This is why regular household cleaning isn’t sufficient after construction work.
We use professional-grade HEPA filtration systems and specialized cleaning methods to ensure all harmful particles are removed, not just moved around. Your family’s health is worth more than trying to save money on cleanup.
You could, but it’s not recommended. Post-construction cleaning requires specialized equipment and knowledge that most homeowners don’t have. Regular household vacuums can’t handle construction dust—it will clog your filters and potentially damage your vacuum.
Construction dust gets into places you wouldn’t think to check: inside light fixtures, HVAC ducts, behind appliances, and inside cabinet hardware. Without proper equipment, you’ll be finding dust for months after you think you’re done cleaning.
Consider the time investment too. Most homeowners spend 2-3 weeks trying to get their home properly clean after construction. We complete the same work in 1-2 days with professional results. Your time is valuable—spend it enjoying your renovation, not cleaning up after it.
Schedule your initial cleaning as soon as contractors finish and remove their tools and materials. Don’t wait—construction dust continues to settle and becomes harder to remove the longer you wait.
We recommend booking at least one week before your project completion date. Construction timelines often shift, and we want to ensure we’re available when you need us. Most contractors in the Powder House Square area know to coordinate with us for final cleanup.
If possible, complete the cleaning before moving furniture back in or unpacking. It’s much easier to clean empty rooms thoroughly than to work around your belongings. This approach also prevents construction dust from settling on your furniture and personal items.
Absolutely. We exclusively use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products that are safe for children, pets, and family members with sensitivities. After spending money on a renovation to improve your home, the last thing you want is harsh chemical residue.
Our cleaning products are specifically chosen for post-construction work while maintaining safety standards. They’re effective at removing construction residue, paint overspray, and adhesive remnants without introducing harmful chemicals into your home environment.
Many of our Powder House Square clients have young children or pets. We understand that safety isn’t negotiable. All our products are biodegradable and won’t leave behind strong chemical odors. Your home will smell clean and fresh, not like a cleaning supply closet.
