How do you protect brand-new finishes?

By identifying each one before we start and cleaning by material rather than by habit. New stone, factory finishes, fresh grout and new glazing all take different products, and where something is uncertain we ask your builder or supplier instead of testing on the finished surface.

When should the cleaning be scheduled?

After the trades finish and debris is out, but before furniture or appliances go in. If painting or floor finishing still remains, we do a rough clean first and the detail clean after, so the same surfaces are not cleaned and paid for twice.

Why is dust still appearing days later?

Construction dust is fine enough to hang in the air for days after the trades leave. That is why the work is staged and why the final walkthrough exists — it is specifically there to catch what settled after the detail clean was finished.

Do you work with our general contractor?

Regularly, on both homes and corporate fit-outs. We coordinate sequencing so we are not cleaning ahead of a trade still to return, attend the punch walk where useful, and supply certificates of insurance to the builder or property manager before we arrive.

Can you clean a house we are still living in?

Yes, and it is common with additions and kitchen projects. We protect the finished side of the house, work in stages, and use HEPA filtration through the rooms the HVAC system has carried dust into — so you are not living with the residue after the builders leave.

Post-Construction Cleaning in Andover, MA

On a custom kitchen or a high-end addition the finish standard is unforgiving — one wrong product on new stone or factory-finished cabinetry is a visible, permanent mistake.

Post-Construction Cleaning for Andover, MA homes and businesses

High-end renovation work in Andover ends with surfaces that are expensive and still curing. Unsealed or newly sealed stone, factory-finished cabinetry, freshly finished hardwood, custom metal hardware and new glazing each demand a specific approach, and an aggressive general-purpose cleaner will etch, dull or streak them permanently on day one. We identify every new finish before starting, confirm anything uncertain with your builder or supplier rather than guessing, and work by material. That care is the whole value of the service at this level; speed matters far less than not damaging what was just installed.

Because fine dust keeps settling for days, the work is staged. A rough clean once the trades are out, then a detail clean covering window tracks and new glazing, cabinet interiors and toe kicks, door tops and casings, light fixtures and vent covers, switch plates, and adhesive and label residue on hardware and appliances, then a final walkthrough with you and often with the builder. Drywall and sanding dust travel through the HVAC system into finished rooms two doors away, so we work top-down with HEPA filtration through the affected part of the house, not just the project footprint.

Corporate tenant fit-outs off I-93 and River Road run the same discipline against a fixed handover date. We coordinate with the general contractor and the property manager, work evenings and Saturdays where the programme demands it, get glass, carpet, restrooms and common circulation to opening condition, and complete access documentation and certificates of insurance before any crew badges in. For occupied residential projects we also protect the finished side of the house while the new side is cleaned, because a family living through a renovation should not inherit the dust as well.

Local Detail

What post-construction cleaning in Andover actually involves

New stone, factory-finished cabinetry and freshly finished hardwood are each identified and cleaned by material, with uncertainties confirmed with the builder.
Custom kitchens and additions get staged rough, detail and final walkthrough passes because fine dust keeps settling for days.
HVAC systems carry drywall dust into finished rooms well beyond the project footprint, so those rooms are in the scope too.
Corporate fit-outs off I-93 and River Road get evening and Saturday scheduling plus access documentation before any crew badges in.

What our post-construction cleaning covers

Rough clean debris removal
Offcuts, packaging, and construction debris cleared, floors swept and HEPA vacuumed so remaining trades work in a safe space.
HEPA fine dust removal
Ceiling-to-floor dust removal on walls, ledges, trim, and every horizontal surface using HEPA filtration, not dry dusting.
Sticker, label, and adhesive removal
Manufacturer labels pulled from windows, appliances, and fixtures, with the residue underneath fully dissolved and cleaned off.
Paint, caulk, and compound removal
Overspray, splatter, and smears scraped and solvent-treated off glass, tile, hardware, and finished floors without scratching.
Window, track, and sill detailing
Interior glass cleaned and frames, sills, and tracks vacuumed and hand-detailed where screws and dust collect.
Cabinet and drawer interiors
Every cabinet, drawer, closet, and pantry wiped inside and out, including tops of upper cabinets and under-sink areas.
HVAC registers and vent dust
Supply and return grilles vacuumed, filters replaced or flagged, and air scrubbers deployed on larger jobs.
Fixture and hardware polishing
Light fixtures, ceiling fans, faucets, door hardware, and appliance faces cleaned and de-fingerprinted.
Final floor treatment
Hardwood, tile, LVP, and concrete vacuumed and cleaned with a finish-appropriate method, plus grout haze removal where needed.
Punch-list touch-up visit
A final pass after the last trade leaves, so the space is genuinely handover-ready on walkthrough day.

How It Works

Booking post-construction cleaning in Andover

01
Rough clean during construction
After framing, rock, and mechanicals, we clear debris and vacuum down so the finishing trades start in a controlled space.
02
Dust control before detailing
HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers pull suspended and settled drywall dust out first, so detail work is not fighting a moving target.
03
Final clean, ceiling to floor
Fixtures, cabinets, glass, tracks, hardware, and floors detailed in top-down order, with labels and residue fully removed.
04
Punch-list touch-up
We return after the last trade closes the punch list so the walkthrough sees a finished space, not a re-dusted one.
