Manhattan & Brooklyn · Premium Cleaning
Post-Construction Cleaning
The final clean that turns a renovation or new build into a move-in-ready space. We remove the fine construction dust and stubborn debris that ordinary cleaning always leaves behind. Your Manhattan or Brooklyn project gets handed over spotless and ready to enjoy.
What is post-construction cleaning?
Construction and renovation work leaves behind a layer of fine dust and debris that a normal apartment cleaning or routine maid service is not built to remove. Drywall sanding, sawing, painting and demolition send particles into every corner — they settle on top of cabinets, inside vents, along baseboards and on light fixtures, and they keep resurfacing for weeks if they are not cleaned out properly. Post-construction cleaning is the deep, detail-level clean that clears that residue so a freshly built or renovated space in Manhattan or Brooklyn is genuinely ready to use.
We work surface by surface from the top down, so dust that falls during cleaning is captured on the next pass rather than left on a floor you have already done. The result is a space that feels finished — not just swept, but actually clean enough to move in, photograph, list or hand over to a client.
What's included
- Removal of construction dust from all surfaces, walls and trim
- Debris and packaging pickup and haul-out
- Fine particulate wiped from vents, fixtures and ledges
- Windows, frames and sills cleaned inside and out
- Floors detailed — vacuumed, mopped and residue removed
- Cabinets cleaned inside and out
- Spot removal of paint, adhesive and stickers
- Final detailing so the space is ready for handover
We pay particular attention to the places dust hides: the tops of doors and cabinets, inside drawers and closets, behind radiators, around switch plates and outlets, and on baseboards and crown molding. Light fixtures, ceiling fans and air vents are wiped so the first time the HVAC runs it does not push leftover dust back through the rooms. Bathrooms and kitchens are degreased and sanitized, and hard floors get a residue-removing wash so they are not left hazy or sticky.
Common add-ons
Every project is different, so we scope the work to what your space actually needs. Common add-ons we are asked for include:
- Interior and exterior window detailing for larger glass runs
- An extra rough-stage clean between trades, before the final pass
- Deeper degreasing of new kitchen surfaces and appliances
- Eco-friendly, low-odor products on request
- A move-in cleaning pass timed to your handover date
Who it's for
This service is built for anyone handing over or stepping into a space that has just had work done. Homeowners and renters wrapping up a renovation rely on it as the last step before they move in. Contractors, general contractors and renovation crews book it as the professional handover clean that lets them present finished work to a client. Landlords, brokers and property managers use it to get a unit photo-ready and listing-ready, and Airbnb or short-term rental hosts use it to reset a freshly updated apartment before the first guest. If you just finished a build or remodel anywhere in Manhattan or Brooklyn and need the dust gone for good, this is the clean to book.

Frequently asked questions
Do you handle both rough and final-stage cleans?
Yes. We clean at the rough stage between trades and again as the final clean before handover. Let us know where your project stands and we'll match the scope and quote to it.
How is post-construction cleaning priced?
It's priced per square foot, starting at $0.59. The exact rate depends on the size of the space, how much debris is left and whether it's a rough or final clean. We confirm a firm price after a quick walkthrough or a few photos.
Will you really get rid of all the fine dust?
That's the whole point of this service. Construction dust settles on walls, vents, ledges and fixtures, so we wipe those surfaces down rather than just the floors. The space is left clean and ready to move into.
When should I schedule the cleaning?
Book the final clean once all construction work is finished and the trades are out, so dust doesn't keep settling. For larger projects in Manhattan or Brooklyn, reach out early so we can reserve the right day for handover.
Can you combine it with a move-in cleaning?
Absolutely. Many clients book the post-construction clean to line up with their move-in date, so the apartment is both dust-free and move-in ready on the same day. Just tell us your handover timeline and we'll plan around it.
