Post Construction Cleaning

Cleaning a Filter

Construction cleanup encompasses various stages which occur during construction before final elements and includes tasks such as sweeping, preparing underlayment, washing windows, dusting surfaces, and removing debris. Final cleaning is essential for a polished look which involves comprehensive tasks like cleaning walls, ceilings, trim, doors, floors, vents, and windows, while touch-up cleaning, often is recommended after the settling of dust, focusing on areas like floors, vents, window sills, and countertops.

Exterior construction cleanup includes tasks such as trash removal, sweeping entryways, power washing doors, windows, driveways, and other paved surfaces.
