Post-Construction Cleaning

Coming to the end of a construction project is a satisfying and invigorating feeling. But even if the construction is done, the work isn’t. There will still be plenty to do after construction has wrapped, including cleaning up the space. Post-construction cleaning is an essential service that White Glove Cleaner is proud to provide to clients throughout New York City.

What is post-construction cleaning?

Usually, a contractor in New York does a general cleaning during or after a project. However, it’s not a deep cleaning at all. You probably won’t see huge parts of building materials or bags of concrete however you still have to do plenty of cleaning work.

Deep post-construction cleaning (it also could be post-renovation cleaning, depending on the situation) is the kind of cleaning that is usually done from top to bottom of the site, it’s not a simple floor mopping or vacuuming.

The main cleaning stage starts either during or just after the construction work finishes. This cleaning usually includes washing down concrete to make sure the new flooring is installed accurately. This main cleaning phase will largely include properly removing leftover building materials, debris, and other large pieces. 

 Let’s see post-construction cleaning in detail:

• Windows and frames cleaning and power washing
• Sticker removal from new objects like windows, furniture, doors
• Floor cleaning, removing any kinds of debris, particles, and dust
• A wet and dry dusting of heaters, fans, ceilings, and lights
• Walls cleaning, removing any marks, dirt, smudges, and dust
• Trim cleaning
• Vacuum cleaning
• Trash disposal
• Safety check of any kind of loose wires, gas leaks, and other kinds of danger
• Clean window blinds, inside cabinets, and inside closets
• Appliances cleaning
• Masonry cleaning, including brickwork or tiles 

Benefits of Post-Construction Cleaning in New York

Post-construction cleaning in NYC comes with many more benefits than simply having a clean space.

As we mentioned, most construction crews don’t do any intense cleaning on the site. After they leave, there may be plenty of dust, debris, and other hazardous material remaining. Working with a cleaning crew gives you the peace of mind that your space is spotless after the messy work of construction.

Overseeing a construction job can be stressful, and the last thing you want to do afterward is clean. You want to be able to enjoy your new space as quickly as possible! A cleaning crew can come in and handle your post-construction cleaning for you, allowing you to settle into the space almost right away. Plus, you don’t have to worry about purchasing any special cleaning equipment or products to get your space in tip-top shape.

Do I Need Post-Construction Cleaning?

Post-construction cleaning in New York City is absolutely labor-intensive. Construction is always a dirty process, leaving lots of dust, metal or wooden shavings, wiring, nails, and all other kinds of remaining materials.

Virtually any construction or renovation project can benefit from post-construction cleaning. However, special-purpose rooms like bathrooms, kitchens, and offices can particularly benefit from this unique deep clean. Standard cleaning tasks like sweeping and vacuuming, dusting, and cleaning walls and windows are taken care of. But your crew will go a step further to clean appliances, countertops, sinks, tubs, toilets, and more.

A construction crew’s main interest is providing you stable and safe structure that matches the requirements. However, it’s not their responsibility to leave the construction site clean (it’s not popular in New York, at least), yet some contractors have such a cleaning service as well. Usually, when construction or renovation is done, there are many things to do left to the owner: cleaning kitchen equipment, getting rid of leftover debris, vacuuming, dusting, mopping, and wiping down windows and counters. If you’re excited about seeing a “finished product” when construction is over, you might be disappointed. In this case, we recommend having a professional cleaning company manage your post-construction or post-renovation cleanup in New York.
