Construction dust doesn’t just sit on surfaces. It gets into ductwork, settles on window sills, coats light fixtures, and hides in corners you won’t find until weeks later. If anyone in your household has asthma or allergies, that dust isn’t just annoying—it’s a real health risk.
You didn’t just invest in a renovation or new build to spend your first weeks there with a vacuum and a headache. You want to unpack, settle in, and actually enjoy the space you’ve been planning for months.
That’s where post-construction cleaning makes the difference. We remove the fine dust, scrub the surfaces contractors leave behind, clean the vents and fixtures, and polish the floors so your home actually feels finished. You walk into a space that’s clean, safe, and ready for your family—not a job site.
This isn’t about making things look decent. It’s about making sure the air is clean, the surfaces are safe to touch, and you can move forward without the mess hanging over you.
We’ve spent over ten years working in Waban and the surrounding communities. We’re a family-run business, and we’ve built our reputation on being thorough, reliable, and safe—especially for homes with kids and pets.
Waban homeowners have high standards, and rightfully so. With property values ranging well into the millions and a community that values quality over shortcuts, you’re not looking for the cheapest option. You’re looking for someone who won’t miss a detail and won’t cut corners.
We use eco-friendly, non-toxic products because we know your home isn’t just an investment—it’s where your family lives. Our team is bonded and insured, and we show up when we say we will. No surprises, no excuses.
We start with a walkthrough—either in person or over the phone—so we understand the scope of your project. New construction cleanup is different from a kitchen remodel, and we adjust our approach accordingly.
Once we’re on-site, we begin with high dusting. That means ceiling pipes, light fixtures, vents, and any exposed ductwork. Construction dust rises and settles on everything, so we work top to bottom. Then we move to surfaces—window sills, countertops, baseboards, cabinets—removing the fine layer of dust and debris contractors leave behind.
Floors come last. We vacuum thoroughly, then mop or polish depending on your flooring type. If there’s adhesive residue, paint splatter, or scuff marks, we address those too. The goal is simple: when we’re done, your home looks and feels the way it should have when the contractor said they were finished.
You don’t need to prep anything or move furniture unless you want to. We bring our own equipment and supplies. And if something doesn’t meet your expectations, we come back and make it right.

Post-construction cleaning covers more than most people realize. We’re not just wiping down counters—we’re removing dust from places you wouldn’t think to check.
That includes complete dust removal from ductwork and vents, which is critical if you’re running HVAC in a home that just went through construction. We clean ceiling fixtures, fans, and any exposed piping. Window sills get scrubbed, glass gets polished, and blinds get wiped down if applicable.
In Waban, where many homes were built in the 1940s and are now undergoing major renovations, we often deal with a mix of old and new materials. That means being careful with original hardwood while also addressing modern finishes. We clean baseboards, door frames, and cabinet interiors. We remove stickers, labels, and protective films from new appliances and fixtures.
Floor care depends on what you have—tile, hardwood, vinyl, or concrete—but the process is always thorough. We vacuum, mop, and polish where needed. If there’s grout haze or construction residue, we handle that too. The result is a home that’s truly move-in ready, not “good enough for now.”
It depends on the size of your home and the scope of the construction project. A small bathroom remodel might take three to four hours. A full-home renovation or new construction in Waban—especially the larger properties common in this area—can take a full day or more with a team of two to three cleaners.
The bigger factor isn’t square footage, it’s how much dust and debris the contractors left behind. If they did a rough cleanup, we’re working with less. If they walked away and left everything, it takes longer.
We’ll give you an accurate time estimate after the walkthrough. And we don’t rush. You’re not paying for speed—you’re paying for thoroughness. The last thing you want is to move in and find dust on the vents or grime in the corners a week later.
Yes. Regular deep cleaning focuses on built-up dirt, grime, and everyday messes. Post-construction cleaning deals with fine dust, debris, adhesive residue, paint splatter, and materials that can actually damage your home if not removed properly.
Construction dust is finer than regular dust. It gets into HVAC systems, coats every surface, and can be a respiratory irritant—especially for kids, elderly family members, or anyone with asthma. It requires specialized equipment and techniques to remove completely.
We also deal with things like removing protective films from windows and appliances, scraping off stickers and labels, cleaning up sawdust and drywall dust, and addressing scuff marks or paint drips on floors and walls. It’s a different skill set, and it takes longer. That’s why most cleaning companies either don’t offer it or don’t do it well.
No. Most of our clients in Waban prefer to give us access and let us work without interruption. As long as we can get in and you’re comfortable with that arrangement, it’s usually faster and more efficient.
We’re bonded and insured, and we’ve been doing this for over a decade. You’re not taking a risk by letting us work independently. Many clients are managing contractor schedules, dealing with inspections, or just trying to keep their regular life on track during a renovation. The last thing you need is to stand around and supervise cleaning.
That said, if you’d rather be there—especially for the walkthrough or final review—that’s completely fine. We’re flexible. Some clients like to do a walkthrough with us at the end to make sure everything meets their expectations, and we encourage that.
We use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products that are safe for kids, pets, and anyone with sensitivities. That’s been a core part of how we operate for over ten years, and it’s especially important in post-construction cleaning where dust and debris are already irritating the air quality.
You’ll find a lot of cleaning companies use harsh chemicals because they work fast. We don’t. The products we use are effective without being dangerous, and they don’t leave behind fumes or residue that could affect your family.
If you have specific product preferences or allergies, let us know during the estimate. We can adjust. The goal is to leave your home cleaner and healthier than when we arrived—not fill it with chemical smells that take days to air out.
We provide free estimates based on the size of your home and the scope of the project. There’s no one-size-fits-all price because every job is different. A small remodel costs less than a full-home renovation or new construction.
Most post-construction cleaning projects in Waban range from a few hundred dollars for smaller jobs to over a thousand for large homes or extensive renovations. That might sound like a lot, but compare it to the time and frustration of doing it yourself—or worse, moving in before it’s done and dealing with dust for weeks.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for experience, thoroughness, and safety. We don’t miss spots, we don’t rush, and we use products that won’t harm your family or your finishes. When you’re investing hundreds of thousands into a renovation or new build, spending a bit more to have it cleaned right is worth it.
We can, but it’s not usually the best approach. Construction generates dust and debris constantly, so cleaning mid-project means you’re paying for work that will need to be redone.
That said, some clients request interim cleanings during long renovation projects—especially if they’re still living in part of the home. In those cases, we focus on livable areas and try to contain the mess as much as possible. It’s not a full post-construction clean, but it makes the space more bearable while work continues.
The most effective time to clean is after the contractors are completely done—after the final walkthrough, after they’ve removed their tools and materials, and after any touch-up work is finished. That way, you’re paying once for a thorough job instead of multiple times for partial cleanings that don’t last.
