FAQ — Post-Renovation Cleaning Madison
How much does post-renovation cleaning cost in Madison, NJ?
Post-renovation cleaning is typically $440–$990+, depending on the rooms affected, the dust level and the finishes. If only some rooms were renovated, we can price just those.
What gets cleaned in a Madison post-renovation visit?
Fine dust off floors, sills, trim, cabinet fronts, kitchens and bathrooms in the renovated rooms. Debris hauling, paint, adhesive or grout-haze scraping and hazardous materials are not included.
Why do Madison homeowners trust DM House Cleaning after a renovation?

How soon after the trades leave can the dust clean happen?
Ask for a free walk-through of the finished rooms, plus tell us the day the last contractor leaves. We reply usually the same day or the next and book a weekday after the work is done.
What address details do you need after a renovation?
The street address, unit, entry instructions and the date the contractors finish. Care instructions for new finishes help too.
How is a Madison post-renovation clean confirmed?
We confirm the rooms, the price from a free walk-through and the date after the trades leave. If the trades come back, that is a new visit and a new quote.

No. Debris removal stays with the contractor or homeowner; we clean the fine dust once the site is clear.

No. Paint, adhesive and grout-haze scraping and hazardous materials are not part of our clean.
My Madison trades need to return after the clean. What then?
Any work they do afterwards needs a new visit and a new quote.
How much dust is normal after a Madison kitchen remodel?
It varies with the work done. The free walk-through of the finished rooms shows us the dust level so we can price the clean.
Do you dust new light fixtures after a Madison renovation?
Reachable light fixtures and ceiling fans in the listed rooms are dusted. Anything we cannot safely reach stays off the list.
