Thomas Edison built experimental poured-concrete houses on Ingersoll Terrace in Union, with concrete interior walls and formed concrete plumbing (Wikipedia). For a renovation here, describe the project, the rooms affected and any new finishes, and book us once the work area is clear.
Before booking, we settle which surfaces are within reach and what the job covers. Removing construction waste, paint or adhesive, treating hazardous dust and restoration work are not part of it. If work is still going on, fresh dust can settle after our visit.

FAQ — Post-Renovation Cleaning Union
What does post-renovation cleaning cost in Union Township?
Post-renovation cleaning in Union runs $400–$900+, depending on the rooms involved, the dust level and the finishes. We price from a free walk-through of the finished rooms and can quote only the renovated ones.
What does a Union Township post-renovation clean include?
Fine dust wiped and vacuumed from floors, sills, trim, cabinet fronts, fixtures and reachable surfaces in the finished rooms. Hauling debris, scraping paint, adhesive or grout haze, and handling hazardous materials are all outside the job. If only part of the house was redone, the quote can cover just those rooms.
Who does the post-renovation clean in Union?
Daniela Marque, the owner, and her same small crew, after the trades leave. Your contractor may send details, but you confirm the list, price and access.
How soon after the remodel can you come to my Union home?
After the last trade leaves. Book a free walk-through of the finished rooms; we reply usually the same day or the next and book a weekday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Can the contractor arrange my Union dust clean?
The contractor may send us the details; you confirm the list, the price and how we get in.
Is hauling away renovation debris included?
No. Debris, tools and leftover materials need to be gone before the crew arrives.
Do we walk through the rooms before and after?
Only if you ask for it; the inspection is your call.
What if the trades come back after the Union dust clean?
New work means new dust, so a return visit is a new booking with a new quote.
