Question 1

What stages of post-construction cleaning do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer comprehensive post-construction cleaning in three stages:

Rough Clean: Removal of large debris, dust, and stickers; basic sweeping and vacuuming
Medium Clean: More detailed cleaning including window tracks, fixtures, cabinetry, and initial floor cleaning
Final/Detail Clean: Comprehensive top-to-bottom cleaning to prepare the space for occupancy, including detailed attention to all surfaces

Clients can select individual stages or our complete package based on project needs.

Question 2

How do you handle the fine dust that's everywhere after construction?

Accepted Answer

Construction dust requires specialized handling. Our approach includes:

HEPA-filtered vacuum systems designed specifically for fine particle removal
Top-to-bottom cleaning sequence to prevent dust redistribution
Microfiber technology that captures rather than spreads dust
Damp wiping of surfaces to trap particles
Air scrubbers when needed for severe dust situations
Special attention to HVAC vents, returns, and filters
Detailed cleaning of hidden areas where dust settles

Our thorough approach ensures dust is removed, not just relocated.

Question 3

Can you remove paint overspray and construction adhesives?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have specialized techniques and products for removing construction residues including:

Paint overspray removal from various surfaces
Adhesive and tape residue removal
Grout haze cleaning from tile installations
Silicone and caulk residue cleanup
Window label and sticker removal
Concrete dust treatment

Our teams are trained in using appropriate solvents and techniques that remove residues without damaging the underlying surfaces.

Question 4

How soon after construction completion can you start cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, we begin once all construction activities are complete and contractors have removed their equipment and excess materials. However, we can often work in phases following the construction schedule:

Rough cleaning can begin as areas are completed
Medium cleaning typically starts after all trades have finished their work
Final cleaning should be scheduled after all touch-ups and punch list items are complete

We coordinate directly with your construction manager to determine the optimal timing for maximum efficiency.

Question 5

Can you handle large commercial construction projects?

Dedicated project management
Multiple cleaning teams working simultaneously
Phased cleaning approaches for partially occupied buildings
Scalable staffing based on timeline requirements
Coordination with construction managers and other contractors

Question 6

What's included in your final detail cleaning for new construction?

Detail cleaning of all fixtures, switches, and hardware
Interior and exterior window and glass cleaning
Detail cleaning of cabinetry, countertops, and shelving
Thorough bathroom fixture cleaning and sanitization

Question 7

Do you clean HVAC ducts after construction?

Accepted Answer

While we don't provide specialized HVAC duct cleaning services, we do clean accessible vent covers, returns, and exterior ductwork as part of our comprehensive cleaning. For internal duct cleaning, we recommend specialized HVAC cleaning contractors and can coordinate with these services as part of your project management if desired. We do ensure that all visible dust is removed from HVAC components to improve air quality immediately after construction.

Question 8

What are your post-construction cleaning rates in Cambridge?
