Post-Renovation Cleaning in New Jersey
Construction dust settles everywhere and keeps settling. We come once the contractors are finished and clear the fine dust from floors, sills, trim, kitchens and bathrooms, so you can use the rooms again.
A dust clean, not a construction cleanup
Debris hauling, paint, adhesive or grout-haze scraping, and hazardous materials stay with the trades or a hauler. We handle the dust once their work is done.
What a post-renovation clean covers
Fine dust needs more passes than a normal deep clean.
Surfaces and trim
Dust removed from reachable surfaces, baseboards, windowsills, ledges, doors and trim in the agreed rooms.
New kitchens
Counters, cabinet fronts, backsplash and appliance exteriors wiped of dust before first use.
New bathrooms
Fixtures, tubs, showers, sinks, mirrors and floors cleaned of construction dust.
Floors
Repeated vacuuming and suitable mopping so dust is lifted rather than spread.
Outside the job
These belong to your contractor or a specialist.
- Debris and leftover materials hauling
- Scraping paint, adhesive or grout haze
- Hazardous materials of any kind
- Cleaning while trades are still working
- Cabinet and appliance interiors are priced extras

How post-renovation cleaning is priced
Construction dust takes longer than everyday buildup.
Compared with a deep clean
Construction dust typically adds 30–60% over a standard deep clean of the same home.
Kitchen and bath project
A post-renovation clean after a kitchen and bathroom project typically ranges $400–$650, depending on home size and project scope.

Frequently asked questions
Direct answers about post-renovation cleaning.
When should I book the post-renovation clean?
After the contractors have completely finished. Cleaning while work continues means the dust comes back.
Do you remove construction debris?
No. Debris hauling, paint or adhesive scraping and hazardous materials are outside the job; the trades or a hauler take care of those.
Can my contractor arrange the clean?
Your contractor may book the free walk-through and send the finish date, but you confirm the list, the price and access.
Why does it cost more than a deep clean?
Fine construction dust settles on every surface and needs repeated passes, which adds time compared with everyday buildup.
