Post-construction cleaning removes the fine dust, drywall residue, paint overspray, adhesive residue, and debris left behind after renovation or new construction. The service typically involves multiple passes: a rough clean to remove large debris, a detailed clean of all surfaces, and a final polish for move-in readiness. Drywall dust is especially pervasive — it settles into HVAC vents, light fixtures, cabinets, and every horizontal surface. Our crews use HEPA vacuums and specialized techniques to achieve a truly clean result.

Post-Construction Cleaning in Pleasanton — FAQ

How many cleaning passes are needed after construction?+

Typically 2–3 passes. Drywall dust resettles after the first cleaning, so a second and sometimes third pass is needed for a truly dust-free result.

Can you clean HVAC ducts after construction?+

We clean vent covers and accessible ductwork openings. For full duct cleaning, we recommend a specialized HVAC duct cleaning service.

When should post-construction cleaning happen?+

After all construction work is 100% complete, including painting, trim installation, and fixture mounting. Cleaning before construction is finished wastes time and money.

Is post-construction cleaning more expensive than regular cleaning?+

Yes, typically 2–3 times the cost of a standard deep clean due to the intensive labor, multiple passes, and specialized equipment required.
