When should we schedule the clean?

After the trades are finished and debris is removed, but before furniture goes in. If painting or floor finishing is still pending, we do a rough clean first and the detail clean afterwards, so you are not paying to clean the same surfaces twice.

Will you clean rooms outside the project area?

Yes, and you should want us to. Construction dust travels through the HVAC system into rooms the work never touched, so we include the affected areas of the house in the scope and work with HEPA filtration rather than pushing dust around.

Can you clean around newly refinished floors?

Yes. New floor finish is still curing and marks easily under moisture or the wrong product, so we use dry methods and minimal moisture and confirm the correct approach with your contractor or finisher before touching the surface.

Do you clean finished basements after the work is done?

Regularly. That includes the ceiling-line mechanicals that collected weeks of dust and would otherwise shed it back into a finished room, plus new flooring, the new bathroom and paint edges — all with controlled moisture, since below-grade rooms dry slowly.

Why does dust keep appearing after the clean?

Construction dust is fine enough to stay airborne for days before it settles. That is exactly why we stage the work and finish with a walkthrough — the final pass is there to catch what settled after the detail clean was completed.

Post-Construction Cleaning for North Andover, MA homes and businesses

The typical project here is an addition, a basement finish, or careful restoration work on an older home near the Old Center — not a gut rebuild. That matters because you are living in the rest of the house while it happens, and drywall and sanding dust do not respect the plastic sheeting. It travels through the HVAC system and settles in bedrooms two doors from the work. Our scope covers the finished project and the rooms the dust reached, worked top-down with HEPA filtration: light fixtures and fan blades, door tops and casings, window tracks and new glazing, vents, switch plates, then floors last.

Restoration work on an antique home needs a lighter hand than new construction. Original woodwork, plaster, wide-plank floors and salvaged fixtures may be newly refinished and still curing, and a refinished floor in particular will mark under too much moisture or the wrong product for weeks. We identify what is new, what is original, and what has just been refinished, then clean each accordingly — dry methods and vacuum attachments on plaster and woodwork detail, minimal moisture on new floor finish, and confirmation with your contractor wherever the correct product is not obvious.

Finished basements bring their own list. New carpet or LVP over a slab, fresh paint, a new bathroom, and often exposed mechanicals along the ceiling line that collected weeks of construction dust and will shed it back into a clean room later if left. Below-grade spaces also dry slowly, so we keep moisture controlled and ventilate deliberately. The service is staged — rough clean once the trades are out, detail clean after final finishes, and a walkthrough with you and the contractor — because fine dust keeps settling for days after the tools go quiet.

Local Detail

What post-construction cleaning in North Andover actually involves

Additions and basement finishes are done around a family still living in the house, so dust-carrying rooms beyond the project are inside the scope.
HVAC systems distribute drywall dust well past the plastic sheeting, which is why the work is top-down with HEPA filtration.
Antique-home restoration needs dry methods on plaster and original woodwork and minimal moisture on newly refinished floors.
Finished basements need ceiling-line mechanicals cleaned and controlled moisture, since below-grade rooms dry slowly.

What's Included

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 North 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.
