The three phases
Rough clean, final clean, touch-up clean
Post-construction isn't one job — it's three separately-scoped services on a construction timeline. Here's what each phase looks like.
Phase 1 · Rough clean
Happens after framing, drywall and mechanical trades wrap but before finish work starts. Crews remove construction debris, sawdust and drywall scraps; shop-vac subfloors; bag and haul contractor trash to the dumpster; and set up floor protection for finish trades to work over. Typical cost: 40–60% of a full final clean. Timing: mid-project, coordinated with the GC's schedule.
Phase 2 · Final clean
Happens after paint, trim, cabinets, fixtures and floors are installed and finished — 24–48 hours after the last dust-producing trade leaves the site. This is where fine drywall dust gets HEPA-vacuumed off every surface: walls, ceilings, air vents, HVAC returns, cabinet interiors, window tracks, blinds. Glass is scraped for paint overspray. Adhesive residue is dissolved off appliances, sinks and cabinets. Grout haze is removed from new tile. Floors are damp-mopped or polished per material. This is the phase most people mean when they say "post-construction cleaning."
Phase 3 · Touch-up clean
Happens after the GC's final walk-through with the homeowner or developer produces a punch-list — a short list of last-mile items (a scuff, a smudge, a caulk drop). The touch-up crew returns, addresses fingerprints and spot-clean items, and the space becomes certificate-of-occupancy ready or handover-ready. Typical cost: 20–40% of the full final clean.
Most residential new-construction and renovation projects buy all three phases as a bundle. Retail buildouts and commercial handovers almost always buy all three. Get post-construction cleaning quotes with your project scope, timeline and phase and we'll match you with GC-friendly crews.
What's Not Included
Beyond post-construction cleaning
Post-construction is a specialty phase, not ongoing service. A few adjacent needs get their own scope of work:
Ask about these on your quote request — most post-construction crews coordinate a handoff to the right recurring vendor:
First recurring maid service after handover
New construction is a great time to start recurring residential cleaning with the same team every visit.
Recurring house cleaningMove-in cleaning for the new occupant
If the buyer or new tenant is moving in immediately after handover, a move-in clean picks up personal-space detail.
Move-in cleaningCommercial janitorial after tenant improvements
After a commercial buildout, transition to a recurring janitorial contract with the same or partner vendor.
Commercial janitorialSTR launch cleaning
New short-term rental? First-turnover clean is timed to your first booking, not the GC's schedule.

Trust & Safety
How we vet every post-construction crew
Post-construction sites contain finished materials worth tens of thousands of dollars. Every vendor is insured, workers-comp covered, and issues COIs naming your GC or owner as additional insured.
Licensing & business docs verified
We confirm active Florida business registration, service-area coverage and any city-required occupational licenses before a company sees a lead.
Insurance and bonding on file
Every company carries general liability and, where required, workers compensation. Bonded companies protect you against theft. We keep the certificate of insurance (COI) on file.
Background-checked cleaners
Owners confirm cleaners have passed a criminal background check. For key handling, lockbox access or Airbnb turnovers, this is non-negotiable.
Written checklist and satisfaction guarantee
Every company on our list works from a written scope of work and offers a same-day re-clean guarantee. No franchise scripts, no gig-worker mystery.
