Before 1907 this area was part of Cranford and Union Township and was known as New Orange. For a post-renovation clean, describe the project, the rooms affected, the dust and the new finishes, and confirm the contractor has left care instructions.
We settle which surfaces we can reach, and what is included, before booking. Debris removal, paint or adhesive removal, hazardous dust and restoration are not part of the job, and dust from work still going on can return after the visit.
