Cleaning ties a project together by clearing dust, hauling debris, detailing finishes, and making glass read clear. The emphasis is on air quality, surface protection, and a tidy handoff.

Overview

• Scope: post-construction cleaning (rough, final, touch-up), deep cleaning, window and glass cleaning, and junk removal/haul-away.
• Focus: HEPA dust control, finish-safe methods, responsible disposal, and scheduling that fits remodel timelines.
• Settings: active remodels, vacant turnarounds, and occupied homes.

What This Service Includes

• Post-construction cleaning: HEPA vacuuming of floors, trim, cabinets, and vents; high dusting of lights and fans; damp wipe of walls, doors, and hardware; adhesive, paint speck, and sticker removal; grout haze and film cleanup; floor care per finish (no over-wetting on wood).
• Final detailing: polish of fixtures, counters, and appliances; interior cabinet and drawer wipe-down; mirror and glass cleaning; baseboard and corner edges checked with bright light for residual dust.
• Touch-up clean: short return visit after punch-list work to remove fresh dust and fingerprints before move-in or photos.
• Deep cleaning: kitchens and baths degreased and descaled; tile and grout scrubbed; interior of ovens, fridges, and microwaves; lime scale and soap scum removal; vent and register cleaning.
• Windows and glass: interior/exterior wash, screen cleaning, track and sill detailing, paint scrape with safe blades, spot treatment for hard water; water-fed pole with pure water where appropriate.
• Junk removal & haul-away: sorting for donation and recycling; loading and disposal of construction debris, old fixtures, packaging, and general clutter; appliance and e-waste handled per local rules; receipts available on request.

Standards and Practices

• HEPA vacuums and microfiber used to control fine dust; damp wipe rather than dry feathering.
• Finish-safe products: pH-appropriate cleaners for stone and tile; non-abrasive pads; stainless cleaned with the grain; wood floors dry or lightly damp mopped.
• Glass care: new razors at low angle on wet glass; frames and gaskets protected; no scraping on tempered glass with fabrication debris risk without testing.
• Air and surfaces checked in raking light; no visible dust on horizontal trims, vents, or inside cabinet corners.

Sequencing and Timing

• Rough clean: after drywall sanding and major cuts—debris removal and initial dust knockdown.
• Final clean: after trades complete and before punch list or photography.
• Touch-up: brief revisit after punch items or move-in.
• Windows scheduled when exterior work and landscaping dust have settled; weather windows considered for exterior glass.

Junk Removal Notes

• Items sorted for donation, recycling, and landfill; loads sized to reduce tipping fees.
• Common exclusions: wet paint, chemicals, fuels, asbestos, and hazardous waste—directed to local HHW facilities.
• Appliances and e-waste routed to appropriate recycling streams; mattresses handled per municipal rules.

Coordination With Other Trades
