Post Construction Cleaning in Angus, ON

Why Construction Cleanup Needs a Different Approach

Renovation dust isn't regular dust. It's sticky drywall powder that coats every surface, sawdust in corners you didn't know existed, and adhesive residue on floors. A regular vacuum just spreads it around. We use HEPA filters and damp-wipe everything twice because construction debris settles in layers.

Builders clean up the big stuff, sure. But they're not detail people. You'll find dust inside cabinets, on top of door frames, inside light fixtures. We've cleaned hundreds of post-reno sites in Angus and over in Barrie, and the pattern's always the same - it looks clean until you touch something and your hand comes away grey.

We don't rush it. A thorough post construction clean takes 3-5 hours for an average room because we're wiping baseboards, cleaning inside drawers, vacuuming vents, and scrubbing floors multiple times. If you try to move in before this happens, you're just grinding dust into your new finishes.

What's Included in After Renovation Cleaning

We start high and work down. Light fixtures, ceiling fans, tops of cabinets - all that airborne dust settles up there first. Then we wipe down walls (yes, walls get a film), clean windows inside and out, and detail every surface in kitchens and bathrooms. Grout lines, cabinet interiors, the works.

Floors get special attention. We vacuum with HEPA filters, then damp-mop, let it dry, and often mop again because the first pass just loosens the embedded dust. For tile or hardwood, we'll scrub grout or get into seams where sawdust hides. If you've got new carpet, we vacuum slowly in multiple directions.

We also handle the weird stuff builders leave behind - sticker residue on windows, paint splatters on fixtures, caulk smudges. It's detail work. If you're in Alliston or anywhere in the Angus area and just finished a kitchen reno or a basement build-out, this is the clean that makes it feel done.

How Post Construction Cleaning Differs from Deep Cleaning

People ask if they can just book our Deep House Cleaning instead. Technically yes, but it'll take longer and cost more because we're not expecting construction-level mess in a deep clean. Post construction cleaning is priced and scheduled differently - we bring extra equipment, plan for multiple passes, and budget more time.

A deep clean tackles built-up grime in a lived-in home. Post construction cleaning tackles a different enemy - fine particulate dust that infiltrates everything. Different tools, different process. If you've got both situations (like you renovated one floor but the rest of the house needs attention), we can combine services and give you a package rate.

For clients who want ongoing help after the initial cleanup, our Recurring House Cleaning service keeps that fresh-reno feeling alive. But you need this first clean to get the construction layer off before regular maintenance makes sense.

Timing Your Post Renovation Cleanup

Don't book us the day the contractor leaves. Wait 24-48 hours. Dust is still settling. If they're doing final touch-ups, we'll just have to come back. We've learned this the hard way - showing up while the painter's still caulking trim means we're wiping surfaces that'll get dusty again in an hour.

Ideally, we come in after all trades are done but before you move furniture in. That's when we can access everything. If furniture's already there, we work around it, but it adds time and we can't promise we'll catch every speck under that couch.

For bigger projects around Angus or down in Collingwood, some clients book us twice - a rough clean midway through construction to knock down the bulk, then a final detail clean at the end. It's not required, but it keeps the dust from getting so embedded that the final clean takes twice as long.

Booking Jamie Cleans for Your Construction Cleanup

We'll ask you what was done - full gut reno, drywall work, flooring, painting? That tells us what kind of mess we're dealing with and how to price it. A bathroom tile job is different from a whole-house drywall sand. Square footage matters, but so does the type of work.

Pricing usually runs higher than a standard clean because of the time and equipment involved. For a typical renovation in Angus, expect $250-$450 depending on size and scope. We can give you a firm quote over the phone or after a quick walk-through if the project's large.

We also do One Time House Cleaning if you just need a single visit for a smaller refresh, or Vacation Rental Cleaning if you're prepping a rental property post-reno. Whatever the situation, we'll match the service to the mess. Call us and we'll figure it out.
