The questions to ask and the tradeoffs to weigh before you book post-construction cleaning in RI.
Before you book
Five questions to ask any post-construction cleaning provider
- Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
- Do the same cleaners come each visit, or does it rotate?
- Is pricing a flat quote or hourly, and what changes it?
- What happens if I am not happy with a clean?
- Do you bring your own supplies, and are they pet- and kid-safe?
Pick the right fit
Recurring or one-time?
Choose a recurring plan if
you want a consistently clean space with less effort. Recurring post-construction cleaning keeps every room maintained on a schedule, so it never piles up.
Choose a one-time deep clean if
you are preparing for an event, moving in or out, or want a reset before starting a recurring schedule.

FAQ
Post-Construction Cleaning questions
How much does post-construction cleaning cost?
Post-construction cleans quote by the project, not by the hour or by the square foot. The number depends on the build phase (rough versus final), the surface mix at handoff (new flooring, glass, fixtures, finish trim), and the dust load left by the trades. The walkthrough or plans review is where we set the quote. Most quotes come back within 24 hours.
What's included in a post-construction clean?
A final-phase post-construction clean covers fine dust removal from every surface, including walls, baseboards, window tracks and frames, light fixtures, vents, and door frames. Floors get vacuumed and mopped or stripped and waxed if needed. Glass cleaned inside and out. Hardware polished. Fixtures wiped.
Do you clean before the final walkthrough?
Yes. For commercial GCs, we typically do the substantial-completion clean a day or two before the final walkthrough so the space presents the way you want it to. If the walkthrough catches anything, we come back for a touch-up clean before delivery.
How long does post-construction cleaning take?
Most residential renovation cleanups take one or two days. Commercial fit-outs of 3,000 to 10,000 sq ft typically take two to three days. Larger builds run longer. The walkthrough produces a more accurate timeline. We can run a larger crew when the deadline is tight.
