Post-Construction Cleaning in Westford, MA

While both are thorough, post-construction cleaning is a more specialized service focused on safety and detail. It targets hazards like fine drywall dust, construction debris, and chemical residues left after a build or renovation. A deep clean focuses on accumulated grime in an already lived-in space. Our post-construction service uses specific equipment, like HEPA-filter vacuums and special solvents for things like paint and adhesive, that are not typically required for a standard deep clean.

The ideal time to schedule your post-construction cleaning is immediately after all construction work, including any final inspections from contractors, is 100% complete. This ensures our team can work efficiently without interruption and that no new mess is created after our service. Cleaning before the final touch-ups are done often means you’ll have to clean again, so waiting until all workers are gone is the most effective approach.

Our service is designed to be the final cleaning step. While we handle the removal of all smaller debris like dust, packaging, plastic coverings, and small scraps, we are not equipped for heavy hauling. The general contractor is typically responsible for removing large items like leftover lumber, piles of drywall, large fixtures, and full bags of trash. We come in after they have cleared the site of all major debris.

We take extreme care with new flooring. For new hardwood in a Westford home, we begin by using soft-bristle attachments on our HEPA vacuums to remove all grit and dust without scratching the surface. We then use a pH-neutral cleaner specifically formulated for hardwood and a microfiber mop, which cleans effectively without leaving excess water. We never use harsh chemicals or abrasive tools on new floors, ensuring their finish is perfectly preserved.

A standard quote is comprehensive, covering all interior surfaces from top to bottom. This includes vacuuming and wiping walls, cleaning insides of windows and tracks, wiping down all trim, baseboards, and doors, cleaning inside all cabinets and closets, and a full cleaning of kitchens and bathrooms, including removing all plastic film from new appliances. The final step is a thorough cleaning of all hard floors. The price is based on the square footage and scope of the project.

The duration depends on the scale of the renovation, but a typical kitchen renovation cleanup can take between 4 to 8 hours for a team of two cleaners. This timeframe allows for the meticulous, multi-step process required, including detailed HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces (including inside new cabinets), residue removal from new appliances and countertops, and ensuring every surface is polished and ready for you to stock with your kitchenware.

Absolutely. This is one of the most critical parts of our service. Our teams are equipped with commercial-grade, sealed HEPA vacuums designed specifically to capture and contain the extremely fine particles produced by drywall sanding. We also use electrostatic cloths and damp microfiber towels to wipe down every single surface—including walls, ceilings, and light fixtures—to ensure all residual dust is completely removed from your environment.

No, you do not need to be present for the entire cleaning. Most clients provide access to the property and then leave while our insured and bonded team completes the work. We can coordinate to contact you about an hour before completion if you’d like to return for a final walkthrough with our team leader. This ensures you can inspect the results and we can address any questions you may have on the spot.
