Hear from Our Customers
You spent months planning and thousands of dollars on your renovation. The contractors are gone, but they left behind a mess that makes your beautiful new space feel anything but finished.
Here’s what happens next: You turn on the heat or AC for the first time, and construction dust blows through every room you just renovated. Suddenly your dream kitchen has a film of drywall dust on the counters, and your new hardwood floors look like they need refinishing already.
When we handle your post-construction cleaning, you get to walk into the space you actually paid for. Clean air, spotless surfaces, and the satisfaction of knowing your investment looks exactly like you imagined it would.
For over ten years, we’ve been the company Shirley homeowners call when contractors leave behind more mess than masterpiece. We’re family-owned, which means we actually care about getting it right the first time.
Here’s what we’ve learned: most contractors are great at their trade, terrible at cleanup. That’s not a criticism – it’s just reality. Plumbers fix pipes, electricians handle wiring, and we handle the aftermath so you can actually enjoy what you paid for.
We’re bonded, insured, and equipped with professional-grade tools that can handle everything from fine drywall dust to paint splatter on your new fixtures. More importantly, we use eco-friendly products because we know your family’s health matters more than cutting corners on cleaning supplies.
First, we walk through your space and identify every area that needs attention. This isn’t a quick glance – we know exactly where construction dust hides and what contractors typically miss. We’re looking at vents, light fixtures, window sills, and all those corners where debris settles.
Then comes the real work. We systematically remove debris, clean every surface, and use specialized equipment to eliminate the fine dust particles that regular cleaning can’t touch. This includes walls, baseboards, fixtures, and anywhere else construction activity left its mark.
Finally, we do a complete final cleaning that includes sanitizing kitchens and bathrooms, cleaning windows inside and out, and making sure your HVAC system is clear of dust. When we leave, your space is ready for furniture, family, or whatever comes next.

We’ve cleaned up after kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, whole-house projects, and everything in between. With Massachusetts making it easier to build ADUs and home additions, we’re seeing more Shirley homeowners expanding their properties – and dealing with the cleanup that comes with it.
Each project creates different challenges. Kitchen renovations leave grease mixed with drywall dust. Bathroom remodels create tile dust that gets everywhere. New additions mean debris tracked through your existing home. We’ve handled them all, and we know what each type of project requires.
We also understand you’re working with deadlines. Whether you need to coordinate with your contractor’s timeline or have a specific move-in date, we work around your schedule. Most of our Shirley clients can get service within a few days of calling, and we always show up when we say we will.
Post-construction cleaning requires completely different equipment, products, and techniques than regular house cleaning. Construction creates fine dust that settles everywhere, paint overspray that bonds to surfaces, and adhesive residues that won’t come off with standard cleaners.
We use commercial-grade HEPA filtration, specialized solvents for construction residues, and techniques specifically designed for the types of mess construction creates. A regular house cleaner with standard equipment simply can’t handle the volume and type of debris we’re dealing with.
There’s also a health component – construction dust contains particles that can be harmful if not properly removed, especially for children or anyone with respiratory sensitivities. This isn’t just about making things look clean; it’s about making them actually safe.
Expect it to take significantly longer than regular cleaning because we’re dealing with much more than surface dirt. We remove all visible debris first, then work systematically through every surface in your space – including areas you might not think need cleaning.
We clean inside cabinets, light fixtures, air vents, window sills, and baseboards where construction dust accumulates heavily. We also address paint splatter, adhesive residue, and any protective films or stickers contractors left behind.
Most residential post-construction cleanings take between four to eight hours, depending on the size and scope of your project. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront so you can plan your day accordingly.
This is probably 80% of our post-construction work. Most contractors are excellent at their trade but don’t have the time, equipment, or frankly the expertise to do proper cleanup. It’s not their fault – they’re focused on getting your project done right, not on cleaning.
We regularly clean up after general contractors, plumbers, electricians, flooring installers, and painters who’ve left behind everything from light dust to chunks of drywall scattered throughout homes. We’re not there to judge anyone’s work – we’re there to get your space to the condition it should be in.
No matter what state your space is in after construction, we have the tools and experience to get it properly cleaned. We’ve seen it all, and nothing surprises us anymore.
Yes, we use only non-toxic, eco-friendly cleaning products that are safe for families and pets. This is especially important in post-construction cleaning because people often move in immediately after we finish.
Our products are effective at removing construction residues, paint, and adhesives without introducing harmful chemicals into your newly renovated space. We know many people renovate specifically to create a healthier home environment, and our cleaning approach supports that goal.
We’re also careful about ventilation during cleaning and can work around any specific sensitivities you have. If you have concerns about particular products or processes, just let us know and we’ll adjust accordingly.
We can start as soon as construction is complete and contractors have removed their tools and equipment. The ideal timing is after all work is finished but before final inspections or move-in, which gives us the best access to clean everything properly.
We offer flexible scheduling and can often accommodate rush requests if you have specific deadlines. Many Shirley clients need to coordinate with moving dates or contractor schedules, and we work with those timelines whenever possible.
If you’re still having some finish work done, we can often work around it, but it’s more efficient if we can clean everything at once rather than coming back for touch-ups.
We guarantee our work 100%. If you’re not completely satisfied with any aspect of the cleaning, we’ll return to address the issue at no additional cost to you.
Post-construction cleaning can sometimes reveal issues that weren’t apparent during the initial cleaning – maybe dust settled somewhere after we cleaned it, or there’s an area we couldn’t access initially. If you notice anything within 24 hours of our visit, just call us.
Our goal is simple: your space should look exactly like you envisioned when you started your construction project. We’re not satisfied until you are, and we’ll work with you until every detail meets your expectations.
