"They were on time, professional, and very detail-oriented throughout the entire process."
I don’t usually leave reviews, but DM House Cleaning did a really solid job. They were on time, professional, and very detail-oriented throughout the entire process.
What stood out the most was the attention to detail — they didn’t just clean the obvious areas, they went deeper and made sure everything was properly taken care of. The place felt genuinely clean and well-maintained after they finished.
If you’re looking for a dependable and professional cleaning service in the area, they’re definitely worth considering.

Before we confirm your appointment
Cleaning products and vacuum
Yes. We bring all the cleaning products and our own vacuum.
Payment
We accept Zelle, Venmo and checks.
Weekday appointments
Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Time for the visit
It depends on the size and condition of the home. We don’t rush: Daniela checks every room before the crew moves on to the next, so larger homes and first visits take longer.

We only accept one if you choose to give it to us. Share door, lockbox or alarm codes privately when arranging access, not in the quote form.
Missed agreed tasks
Report a missed agreed task within 24 hours of the visit; we will re-clean that task at no charge.

FAQ — Post-Renovation Cleaning Hillside
How much does post-renovation cleaning cost in Hillside, NJ?
Post-renovation cleaning in Hillside generally runs $380–$860+, confirmed from a free walk-through of the finished rooms. The quote can cover only the renovated rooms, and it never includes debris hauling, scraping or hazardous materials.
What's included in Post-Renovation Cleaning in Hillside?
In the finished rooms, the crew vacuums and wipes the fine dust from floors, window sills, trim, cabinet doors, fixtures and every surface within reach. Hauling debris, scraping paint, adhesive or grout haze, and handling hazardous materials are not part of it. If only part of the house was redone, we can quote just those rooms.
Who handles the dust clean after a Hillside remodel?
Daniela Marque, the owner, and her same small crew, once the trades have gone. A contractor is welcome to send us the job notes; you, the homeowner, approve the list, the price and the access.
How soon after a Hillside remodel can you come?
After the last trade leaves. Request a free walk-through of the finished rooms; we answer today or tomorrow and book a weekday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Is my builder allowed to line up the Hillside dust clean?
A builder can forward the job notes to us, yet the homeowner is the one who approves what gets cleaned, the cost and access.
Do you haul away renovation debris?
No. Debris, tools and leftover materials must be gone before the crew arrives.
Is there a walk-through before and after?
Only if you ask for one; the inspection is your choice.
A trade needs to come back after our Hillside visit. Then what?
New work brings new dust, so a return visit is a new booking with a new quote.
Do you remove paint drips or tile grout haze?
No. Scraping paint, adhesive or grout haze is outside the job; we clear dust and wipe the surfaces we can reach.
Can I book the dust clean before the painters finish?
We start only after every trade has left. If painters or other trades come back afterward, that is a new visit with a new quote.
