Post-Construction Cleaning

Post-construction cleaning specialists clean after construction or renovation projects - removing construction dust, debris, and residue to prepare properties for occupancy.

This specialized cleaning requires different skills and equipment than residential maintenance cleaning.

Per-project rates range from $0.10-$0.30 per square foot or $500-$5,000+ per project depending on scope.

Completing 15-30 construction cleaning projects monthly generates $80,000-$240,000 annually with 50-70% margins.

Target clients include general contractors and builders, homebuilders and developers, renovation contractors, commercial construction, property managers post-renovation, and homeowners after major projects.

Services include rough cleaning (initial debris removal), fine cleaning (detailed cleaning and polishing), final touch-up and cleaning, window washing and glass cleaning, floor cleaning and treatment, and potentially offering specialized services like drywall dust removal.

Success requires understanding of construction cleaning versus regular cleaning, specialized equipment and supplies, relationships with contractors and builders, ability to work around construction schedules, and potentially offering bonded and insured services.

Many post-construction cleaners build recurring relationships with contractors for all projects, invest in specialized equipment like HEPA vacuums, potentially offer commercial construction cleaning, work flexible hours around construction timelines, and charge premium for specialized work.
