Post-Construction Cleaning
Get a fresh start for your home.
Building the perfect home or remaking yours into your dream house is an exciting time, especially once it’s time to come home, but you’re often left with dust, debris, fingerprints, and even leftover construction materials.
At Yellow Glove Cleaning, we provide residential post-construction and post-renovation cleaning services to help you enjoy your newly renovated space. We clean homes after renovations, remodeling projects, repairs, additions, painting, flooring installation, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and new construction. We’ll work through the space systematically to remove construction dust and debris and clean affected surfaces.
Why Renovations Need Special Cleaning
Construction creates a different kind of mess than everyday life.
Fine drywall dust, sawdust, insulation particles, paint splatters, adhesive, grout haze, and other construction materials can settle on surfaces throughout your home. Dust can collect on baseboards, windowsills, cabinets, light fixtures, vents, and other areas that may not be obvious at first glance unless you know what you’re looking for. As experienced cleaners, our detailed, systematic cleaning process is designed to clear away even hidden dust and residue.
What does Post-Construction Cleaning Include?
We can remove ordinary, non-hazardous construction dust and debris from accessible areas. All of our one-time cleaning services include our full house cleaning task list, but for post-construction cleaning, we take particular care to remove:
- Drywall dust
- Sawdust
- Dirt and tracked-in debris
- Cardboard and packaging
- Small amounts of leftover renovation debris
- Grout haze on tiles
- Paint splatters on the floor or fixtures
We will also do a review of light and water fixtures to ensure they are operational, so we can notify you of any issues before you move in.
What We Don’t Clean
We need to make sure our cleaners are safe and that your home is safe for you at the end of the clean, which means there are a few things we leave to specialists, such as asbestos removal, mold remediation, and pest control.
If you’re not sure whether something can be included in your cleaning service, please contact us before booking, so we can discuss whether it’s something our team can safely handle.
Post Construction Cleaning FAQs
You should schedule us to clean after your contractors have completed their work and once all major construction debris has been removed. That includes waiting until after painting is complete and fully dried, your cabinets and fixtures have all been installed, and your water and electricity have been turned on.
We’re often called in to handle cleaning after renovations in areas where detailed cleanliness is a top priority like kitchens and bathrooms. Additionally, our attention to detail and experience in spotting messes are invaluable after messy tasks like floor installation, drywalling, and painting are complete. Some clients just prefer to have professional cleaning for large spaces after basement finishing, whole-home renovations, or new-home constructions.
