New Build or Remodel? It's Not Clean Yet.

Construction leaves behind a layer of fine drywall dust that settles into vents, cabinets, fixtures, and every corner — and keeps resurfacing for weeks if it isn’t properly removed. Our post-construction clean is built to get it all out.

Common after new construction (big in Queen Creek and San Tan Valley) and any remodel or renovation.

New construction is booming across our service area right now — especially in Queen Creek and San Tan Valley, where entire neighborhoods are going up phase by phase — along with a steady stream of remodels in older, established parts of Mesa, Gilbert, and Chandler, and high-end renovations in Scottsdale. Every one of those projects leaves the same problem behind: fine drywall dust that ordinary cleaning just moves around instead of removing.

Post-construction cleaning is a different discipline from a standard or deep clean — it’s built around removing fine particulate dust and construction debris, not just surface dirt. Standard cleaning tools and techniques actually spread drywall dust around instead of capturing it, which is why this service uses a different approach entirely.

What's Included — Our 13-Point Post-Construction Clean Checklist

Here’s exactly what you get — every post-construction clean covers all 13 points below.

Debris & Dust Removal

  • Remove leftover debris, packaging, and stickers/labels
  • HEPA-vacuum all surfaces and floors
  • Detail-dust walls, ceilings, and corners for drywall dust
  • Clean vents, registers, and return grilles

Surfaces & Fixtures

  • Wipe all cabinetry inside and out
  • Clean inside and outside of installed appliances
  • Clean light fixtures, fans, and switch plates
  • Clean and polish kitchen and bathroom fixtures
  • Wipe doors, frames, trim, and baseboards

Windows & Floors

  • Detail interior windows, tracks, and sills
  • Remove paint specks and labels from glass
  • Scrub and mop all hard floors
  • Final detail and touch-up pass

Rough Clean vs. Final Clean

A rough clean happens mid-project, clearing bulk debris so trade crews can keep working safely. A final clean happens after everything is installed and the punch list is done — it’s the detailed, move-in-ready pass most homeowners are after. Tell us your project stage when you request a quote and we’ll scope the right service.

Post-construction cleaning is a specialized, one-time (or per-project) service rather than a recurring one.

What's Not Included (and What You Can Add)

Exterior debris removal (dumpster-level construction waste, large offcuts) falls outside our scope — that’s typically handled by the builder or a haul-away service before we start. Carpet cleaning and touch-up paint are also outside the standard checklist, though we’re glad to point you to a trusted partner if you need either.

Who It's For

  • Homeowners moving into a new build
  • Anyone after a remodel or renovation
  • Builders and contractors needing a final clean

Good to Know Before You Book

Because fine drywall dust keeps resettling for days after a project wraps, some clients book a first-pass clean right after construction and a light follow-up clean a week or so later, once any remaining dust has had time to settle again.

Ask us about scheduling a two-visit approach if your project involved significant drywall work or sanding. This applies just as much to a single-room remodel — a new kitchen or a bathroom renovation — as it does to a full new-construction build, since the fine dust from cutting tile, sanding drywall, or installing cabinetry behaves the same way in either case.

Either way, our teams bring HEPA-filter vacuums specifically because standard vacuums recirculate the finest particles right back into the air instead of capturing them.

Preparing for Your Post-Construction Clean

The space should be clear of tools, materials, and trade crews before we arrive, with bulk debris already hauled away. If any areas are still off-limits or mid-project when we're scheduled, let us know in advance so we can plan the visit around it.

How Pricing Works

Pricing is scoped per project based on square footage and the extent of the construction or remodel work — a full new build takes longer than a single-room renovation. We'll walk the space with you or review the project details and provide a clear price before scheduling.

Our Guarantee

If dust reappears in a treated area within a few days, let us know and we'll talk through whether it's a follow-up visit or normal resettling from ongoing nearby work. Our goal is a space you can actually move into and breathe easy in, not just one that looked clean the day we left.

Working With Your Builder's Timeline

New-construction closings and remodel completions rarely land on a fixed date — punch lists slip, inspections get rescheduled, trades run long. We build flexibility into post-construction scheduling for exactly that reason, and we’re used to confirming or adjusting a date within a day or two of your actual move-in or reveal. Tell us your target window when you request a quote, and we’ll firm up the exact date as it gets closer. We’d rather confirm a realistic date than promise one we can’t hit. A quick text or call as your date firms up is all we need to lock in the slot.
