Post Construction Cleaning for Commercial Spaces
Dust, debris, and fine particles are normal after construction. Leaving them behind isn’t. We provide post construction cleaning that gets a space ready for occupancy, inspections, and handoff.
We quote after a walkthrough so the scope matches your site, timeline, and definition of “ready”.

A Quick Fit Check
We’re a fit for:
Commercial renovations, tenant improvements, and build-outs
Offices, retail spaces, medical facilities, schools, restaurants, and community buildings
Project timelines that require a defined scope and reliable scheduling
We’re not a fit for:
Residential post-construction cleaning
“It’s basically done, just sweep it” requests (dust travels; you want it handled right)
Sites that are unsafe or not ready for cleaning access
If you’re unsure what level of cleaning you need, request a walkthrough. We’ll define it clearly.
What post-construction cleaning actually includes
Post-construction cleaning is not routine janitorial. It’s a detailed cleanup designed to remove construction dust, debris, residue, and fingerprints so the space is presentable and usable.
Common outcomes clients want:
- Space looks clean and finished for handoff
- Dust is controlled (including the fine stuff)
- Floors and surfaces are ready for occupancy
- Restrooms and break areas are functional and clean
If your project is on a deadline, the scope needs to be clear. We define what’s included before we start.
Post Construction Cleaning Levels (Based on Your Timeline)
Level 1: Rough Clean (During or Immediately After Work)
Remove construction debris and trash (as scoped)
Sweep/vacuum major dust and dirt
Basic wipe-down of surfaces in work areas
Level 2: Final Clean (Before Occupancy / Handoff)
Detailed dust removal on surfaces, edges, and reachable areas
Restroom and break area clean-up
Glass spot cleaning and fingerprint removal (as scoped)
Floors cleaned with attention to corners and traffic areas
Level 3: Touch-Up Clean (Right Before Final Walkthrough / Turnover)
Final detail pass for dust, smudges, and touchpoints
Spot cleaning and presentation focus
Quick readiness check for common issues
If you’re unsure what level of cleaning you need, request a walkthrough. We’ll define it clearly.
What’s typically included
Your exact scope depends on the site condition, trade work involved, and access.
Typical tasks may include:
Dusting and wiping surfaces (walls, ledges, trim as scoped)
Cleaning doors, frames, handles, and high-touch areas
Detailed attention to corners, baseboards, and edges
Restroom cleanup and sanitizing
Breakroom cleanup (as applicable)
Glass spot cleaning and removal of smudges/fingerprints (as scoped)
Floor cleaning appropriate to surface type (vacuum/sweep/mop as scoped)
Final inspection and touch-ups
Optional add-ons (when needed)
High dusting (beams/vents)
Strip & wax for hard floors
Carpet cleaning
Window cleaning
Deep cleaning
We do not perform construction trade work or remove adhesives/paint overspray beyond agreed scope.” [PLACEHOLDER: adjust based on what you will/do handle]
What Affects Post Construction Cleaning Pricing
Pricing depends on the level of detail and the state of the site, not just square footage.
Main price drivers:
- Square footage and number of rooms/zones
- Level of cleaning needed (rough vs final vs touch-up)
- Amount of fine dust and residue
- Floor types and condition (hard surface vs carpet mix)
- Access constraints, staging, and working hours
- Timeline urgency and phased scheduling
- Add-ons (high dusting, floors, carpet, windows)
We’ll scope it clearly so you’re not paying for assumptions.
Built for Project Timelines
Post-construction cleaning works best when it’s coordinated.
We typically coordinate around:
- When dusty trades are truly complete
- When floors are ready for final cleaning
- When the site is safe and accessible
- When a “final clean” won’t be undone the next day
The fastest path to a clean handoff is scheduling the right clean at the right stage.
Site Readiness and Safety
We’ll confirm site readiness during the walkthrough to prevent delays.
We require:
- Safe access and clear walkways
- Utilities as needed (lighting/water) [PLACEHOLDER: confirm]
- Construction hazards addressed (open wiring, exposed nails, etc.)
- A defined point of contact for questions onsite
If something isn’t ready, we’ll tell you before it turns into a wasted trip.
