See the Difference: Before & After with Smart Maids – Where Every Clean Leaves a Lasting Impression
POST-CONSTRUCTION CLEANING
If there’s ever a time your home really needs a thorough cleaning, it’s after a renovation or construction project. With layers of dust and debris on every surface, you need a professional cleaning crew to make your home livable again. Before you settle in, schedule a post construction cleaning appointment.

WHAT IS POST-CONSTRUCTION CLEANING AND WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?
Post-construction cleaning is a service rendered to new or renovated buildings or spaces. From the name, it’s understood that cleaning happens after construction. While a construction company often picks up after themselves, they don’t do a detailed and thorough post-construction cleanup.
Aside from sweeping and mopping the floor and wiping down visible surfaces, a post-construction cleaning crew does the following:
-
Cleaning the walls to remove marks, smudges, and dirt
-
Power washing frames and cleaning windows
-
Removing stickers from doors, windows, and furniture
-
Dusting and cleaning fans, ceilings, and heaters
-
Polishing floors free of debris
-
Vacuum cleaning
-
Threshold cleaning
-
Trim cleaning
-
Cleaning appliances, shelves, and cabinets
-
Addressing leaks, loose wires, and other safety concerns to construction contractors
-
Checking details all over the house
After construction, the above steps are necessary to rid your space of trash and particles that could cause harm. For instance, silicates from materials used could cause lung damage if left to linger. In addition to safety concerns, post-construction cleaning is also important for the overall appearance and functionality of the site.
STAGES OF POST-CONSTRUCTION CLEANING
This process typically involves several stages, each with unique challenges and requirements. Often, home projects need the final cleaning only since contractors might clean after themselves. But for a large-scale project, the cleaning includes three phases as below:
PHASE 1: ROUGH CLEANING
Despite being post-construction cleaning, professional cleaners should be with you during all phases.
Generally, rough cleaning is done before painting. At this stage, cleaners clear wet and solid debris and light sweep dirt from the floor in preparation for more renovation/construction work.
Since construction is still underway, deep cleaning isn’t necessary at this point. If cleaners find any defects, cracks, or damage, they’ll report them immediately for fixing. This prevents costly repairs down the line and ensures excellent construction results.
After rough cleaning, construction workers can continue painting walls and installing cabinetry and sinks, and other remaining tasks.
PHASE 2: DEEP CLEANING
It’s also called thorough-up cleaning and requires efficient cleaning tools and equipment. During deep cleaning sessions, cleaners give windows, cabinets, sinks, toilets, and other installed furniture or items a thorough clean.
Most architects and business owners consider professional post-construction cleaning services so that ceilings, air vents, and other hard-to-reach spots are handled.
PHASE 3: FINAL CLEAN
It’s also called touch-up cleaning. Most areas and surfaces have been cleaned by this time, so it’s done a couple of days or weeks after the renovation or construction work.
This timeline gives the cleaning team enough time to prepare for the last cleaning phase. They inspect the walls, ceilings, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, interior floors, washrooms, sinks, toilets, windows, doors, and every corner of the home site or building to make sure is move-in ready.
Few cleaners are needed in this phase since the bulk of the work is already done. Most of the work involves dusting, wiping, and cleaning smudges and fingerprint marks from surfaces. After this phase, you can occupy your space.
