Finishing a remodel or new build is exciting, but once the work wraps up, your space is often left with a fine layer of dust, debris, and residue that standard cleaning cannot handle. That is where post-construction cleaning comes in.
At Garden State Cleaning Co., we specialize in detailed cleanings that make newly renovated or built homes move-in ready. Whether you are a homeowner, builder, or property manager, our team ensures every surface shines safely and professionally.
What Is Post-Construction Cleaning
Post-construction cleaning is a deep, detailed process designed to remove dust, dirt, and construction materials left behind after renovations or new builds. It is not your typical cleaning. It requires professional tools, methods, and attention to fine detail to make your space safe and livable.
Our services are commonly booked after:
Home renovations or additions
Kitchen and bathroom remodels
Basement or attic finishing
New home builds or major repairs
What Is Included in Our Post-Construction Cleaning Service
Our post-construction cleaning package includes everything from debris removal to final polish work. We go beyond a regular deep clean to target the fine dust and residue that lingers after construction.
Here is what we cover:
Remove construction dust from all surfaces, vents, light fixtures, and ceiling fans
Wipe down baseboards, doors, window sills, and trim
Clean inside cabinets, closets, and drawers
Vacuum and mop all floors, including corners and under furniture
Clean windows and glass to remove dust and smudges
Sanitize bathrooms, kitchens, and high-touch areas
Clean inside appliances if newly installed
Remove stickers, tape, and minor residue from fixtures and glass
We bring our own equipment and supplies designed to trap fine dust and protect new surfaces. No harsh chemicals, just professional-grade cleaning that is safe for your home.
How to Prepare Your Home for a Post-Construction Clean
These simple steps help ensure your cleaning goes smoothly and efficiently.
1. Make sure construction is fully complete.
Cleaning before the final sanding, painting, or punch-list work can mean double the effort. Wait until your contractors are officially done.
2. Remove large debris and leftover materials.
Our team handles cleaning, not hauling. Take care of any major debris, tools, or trash bags before we arrive.
3. Leave time for dust to settle.
Even after construction ends, airborne dust can resettle on surfaces for a day or two. Schedule your post-construction clean 24 to 48 hours after final work wraps up for the best results.
4. Uncover vents and openings.
If your HVAC system was covered during construction, uncover it so we can properly clean around vents and returns.
5. Let us know about any sensitive surfaces.
If you have newly finished floors, marble counters, or specialty fixtures, we will tailor our approach to clean them safely.
Why Follow Up After Your First Post-Construction Clean
Construction dust is stubborn. Even after a thorough initial cleaning, fine dust in the air can settle on surfaces over the next several days. We strongly recommend scheduling at least one follow-up standard cleaning within a week of your post-construction service. This second visit removes any remaining dust that appears once the air settles and ensures your home stays spotless and move-in ready. Dust can continue to settle for days after a remodel, and Homes and Gardens explains why in this helpful guide: https://www.homesandgardens.com/solved/how-to-clean-house-after-remodel
Why Professional Post-Construction Cleaning Matters
Construction dust is not just messy. It can be harmful if it is not handled correctly. Fine particles can linger in the air, settle in vents, and damage new finishes if wiped improperly. Our trained professionals use HEPA vacuums, microfiber tools, and safe cleaning methods to ensure every inch is spotless.
We work with:
Homeowners moving into newly built or renovated homes
Builders and contractors preparing homes for final walkthroughs
Property managers readying units for new tenants
For ongoing maintenance after your project, consider booking a monthly deep cleaning or a recurring standard service to keep your fresh space looking its best.

FAQs
How long does post-construction cleaning take
Most projects take between 4 and 8 hours depending on the size of the home and the amount of dust present.
Can you handle heavy debris or paint removal
We remove light debris and residue but not heavy materials or paint scraping. For major cleanup, schedule hauling first.
Why do I need a post-construction clean if contractors already did a sweep
Contractor cleaning focuses on large debris and safety, not detail work. Fine dust remains even after a sweep. Our detailed process ensures your space is safe and ready to enjoy.
