Construction
Clean-Up
Construction is a messy job. Working hard to build or improve property can create a clutter of material. For expert post-construction clean-up services, Maintenance Specialists Inc. is the company to call.
The Importance of Construction Cleaning
After the construction project or renovation is done, the area must be clean inside and out. It can be a hassle to clean up the leftover building material scraps, trash, or other debris after a construction job. However troublesome it may be, though, post-construction cleaning is a necessary step in preparing a property.
- The Right Impression. It is essential to clean a property after any kind of construction work. Whether you want to sell the property or use it for business purposes, you want to leave a positive impression on potential buyers.
- Health and Safety. Dirt, dust, and debris are just some of the problems associated with construction. There is also the possibility of leftover nails and other sharp objects. Leaving such clutter and filth can jeopardize the health and safety of both your employees and customers. And, before you know it, you’ll have to defend yourself against a lawsuit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Construction cleanup takes place following a construction or renovation project. It involves removing leftover materials and debris as well as cleaning up the area and surfaces using various means, such as washing, wiping, sweeping, and vacuuming.
The post construction clean-up process consists of three stages: Rough Cleaning, Detailed Cleaning, and Touch-Up Cleaning. During these stages, tasks will usually include but are not limited to: sweeping and dusting all surfaces, vacuuming floors, and wiping down doors, knobs, windows, moldings, and other surfaces. It is generally better to hire a commercial cleaning company offering post construction cleaning services.
Dry dusting is the best way to clean up construction dust because it removes dust without damaging the underlying surface. To do this, use a dust cloth, dry duster, feather duster, microfiber, or sponge to remove dust from surfaces.
Deep cleaning is necessary to make a newly constructed house presentable and free from pollutants. It is recommended to hire a professional post construction cleaning service to carry out the job, as professionals usually have the necessary tools and products to accomplish deep cleaning.
It depends on a few factors, such as the size of the house, the extent of the dust and leftover debris, the number of people cleaning the house, and the expertise of those people. Professionals can typically clean small homes in a day or two while larger homes may take two to three days.
Construction final cleaning or detailed cleaning involves the most work and typically needs the use of equipment and products. During this stage, items and surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, wiped, or washed.
Exposure to construction dust for a long period of time can cause respiratory problems such as asthma and silicosis. It can even lead to lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
It depends on the company you hire. In general, though, companies charge based on square footage at around $1 per square foot. Some services, like window washing, may not be included in the pricing estimate.

Stages of Construction Clean-Up
Though the cleaning process will largely depend on the service you choose, construction clean-up generally consists of three stages:
Rough Cleaning
The first stage, rough cleaning, involves the removal of large items such as leftover construction materials, trash, and various debris. This is done for both the interior and exterior of the building. After removing all of these items, sweeping and vacuuming will then take place. Newly installed doors, windows, and appliances will likely have stickers on them. Rough cleaning is the stage where these stickers are removed.
Detailed Cleaning
Most of the work takes place during the second stage, the detailed or final cleaning. This stage usually involves the use of tools or equipment as well as cleaning products. The post construction cleaning checklist for detailed cleaning usually includes but is not limited to the following:
- Doors, windows, and mirrors are washed
- All surfaces are washed or wiped
- Walls and baseboards are cleaned
- Door knobs, light switches, door frames, and windowsills are wiped
- Cabinets are cleaned (inside and out)
- Sinks, toilets, bathtubs, and showers are cleaned
- Hard floors are mopped
- Carpets are vacuumed
The final stage is touch-up cleaning, which not all cleaning companies offer. This usually takes place days after the second stage to clean up any remaining or settled dirt or dust. Any smudges or fingerprints left on glass and mirrored surfaces are wiped clean off. This is also the part where any leftover materials that may have been missed the first two stages are removed.
