What we hear

Common challenges in construction facilities.

Construction dust that settles everywhere after trades leave

Drywall dust, saw dust, and concrete particulate coat every surface and HVAC register if they're not addressed systematically after trades wrap up.

Window film, sticker residue, and overspray on finished surfaces

Protective film and paint overspray left by trades can permanently mark glass, counters, and trim if not removed properly during the final clean.

Punch-list delays when the space isn't clean enough for inspection

Developers and GCs have lost certificate of occupancy timelines because the cleaning phase wasn't coordinated to match inspection windows.

What this industry needs

Built around how you operate.

Post-construction cleaning is a specialty, not Commercial Janitorial work with construction dust mixed in. The rough clean happens during active construction: debris removal, dust control, keeping the site safe for remaining trades. The final clean comes after the last trade leaves: windows inside and out, fixtures, floors, walls, inside cabinets and overhead. The punch list touchup is precision work, addressing adhesive residue on new stone, smudges on new glass, and scuffs on new hardwood the final clean missed. Each phase has different requirements and a different crew cadence.

General contractors and developers have deadline pressure that most cleaning vendors aren't equipped to work against. Certificate of occupancy timelines don't flex for a cleaning crew that runs behind. We coordinate with project closeout schedules, work backwards from inspection dates, and can mobilize additional crews if the construction schedule compresses. General janitorial companies attempting post-construction work typically don't know the phases, don't know material-appropriate products, and can't scale to a deadline.

Material knowledge matters more here than in any other environment. New polished concrete, new stone countertops, new hardwood, new glass: each surface has a cleaning method that preserves it and one that damages it. Wrong pH on stone, wrong abrasive on new glass, wrong solvent on new hardwood finish are not correctable after the fact. LEED v4 construction indoor air quality credits also require documentation of cleaning practices during construction, which adds a documentation layer that most vendors can't provide.

Post-construction final cleaning crew polishing floors and wiping surfaces in a newly built commercial space
A regional general contractor needed post-construction cleaning on a four-floor commercial build with a certificate of occupancy deadline three days out. We mobilized a crew across all phases in parallel: rough sweep on floors 1-2, final clean on 3-4. They made their CO date.

Questions

Questions about construction cleaning.

What's the difference between a rough clean and a final clean?

A rough clean happens after major trades wrap up: debris removal, initial surface wipe-down, window frame cleaning. The final clean is what happens right before occupancy or inspection: detailed surface cleaning, window polishing, and floor prep.

Can you work with the GC to hit a specific inspection date?

Yes. We coordinate with general contractors regularly. Give us the inspection date and we'll work backwards to schedule rough, final, and touch-up phases around the construction schedule.

Do you remove construction debris or just clean surfaces?

We remove cleaning-related debris: film, tape, packaging, and residue, as part of post-construction cleaning. Large construction debris (lumber, drywall scraps) should be removed by the GC before we start.
