Professional Construction Cleanup & Post-Renovation Cleaning

Construction and renovations are messy. Projects often include both demolition and installation, leave behind unused scraps and materials, and present a much different end result than what you might have envisioned. There's a vital step between the end of a renovation and the handing over of the key: a post-construction cleaning.

Post-construction cleaning isn't just a matter of dust, either. It requires knowing how to properly dispose of hazardous materials, how to clean and polish brand-new flooring and walls, and addressing safety issues like loose wires or leaks. Think of post-construction cleaning like proofreading a book: it might be the final step, but it's crucial for ensuring the final product is exactly what it should be.

At AK PostBuild Cleaning, our professional post-renovation cleaning services offer a thorough, detailed, and multi-phase cleaning of your new or renovated space. We can work directly with your contractors to provide professional cleaning near the end of the construction process, addressing any unfinished issues or problems while making sure your space is livable and attractive. In other words, professional construction cleanup is what turns your space into a home.


The Phases of Post-Construction Cleanup

What’s Included in House Cleaning After Construction? Post-renovation cleanup often includes:

  • ● Removing dust, dirt, and scuffs from all surfaces
  • ● Vacuuming and dusting woodwork, fixtures, and appliances
  • ● Cleaning the trim, baseboards, frames, and door jambs
  • ● Cleaning masonry, including tiles or brickwork
  • ● Removing stickers and labels from any installations
  • ● Ensuring the rest of your house is clean after construction

For some projects, you'll also have a final exterior clean. We'll go over all phases in this section, beginning with the rough clean.

Rough Clean

The rough clean stage takes place either during or just after the construction work wraps up. Rough cleaning can include scrubbing down plywood or concrete to ensure the new flooring is installed correctly. The rough cleaning phase will largely include properly disposing of debris, leftover building materials, and other large pieces. It will also include removing stickers and labels from doors, windows, and other items, as well as vacuuming the whole space.

Light Clean

The light clean phase is the most labor-intensive phase of the post-construction cleanup, and it also requires the most equipment. Restrooms, kitchens, and other rooms that serve a specific purpose will be attended to. Installations like toilets, sinks, windows, cabinets, and counters will get a thorough cleaning as well.

Final Clean

The last phase is the final clean, which is the stage where last-minute touch-ups are applied. Any dust or dirt that has settled since the second phase will now be vacuumed or wiped up. Our team will also go through the space with a fine-toothed comb to wipe down any smudges, fingerprints, and markings left behind by construction.

Exterior Construction Cleanup

For projects where the construction included exterior work, our team will also do a pass of cleaning that includes picking up any debris outside, making sure caulk and paint are finished correctly, and wiping down windows on the exterior. Sometimes this phase is simply a part of the light clean phase as well—whatever makes the most sense for your project.
