Thomas Edison's laboratory in West Orange, Essex County, now a National Historical Park, is where he developed inventions that earned more than 1,000 patents, according to Wikipedia. For a clean after your own project, describe the work, the rooms, the dust and the new finishes, and confirm the trades are done and any care instructions are in hand.
Which surfaces we can reach and what the clean includes are settled before booking. Debris hauling, scraping paint, adhesive or grout haze, and hazardous materials are not part of the clean. If trades return after we finish, that is a new visit with a new quote.

FAQ — Post-Renovation Cleaning West Orange
What does cleaning after a West Orange renovation cost?
After a West Orange renovation, size and condition set the cleaning price. This service is quoted per job; the exact amount follows from the work requested. The affected rooms, dust and residue, surface-care needs and confirmed access all go into the quote. Your free quote carries the exact price.
Which jobs does a West Orange post-renovation clean cover?
Fine dust off floors, trim, sills and kitchen and bath surfaces in the rooms you list. Debris hauling, paint or adhesive scraping, grout-haze removal and hazardous materials are left out, and appliance or cabinet interiors cost extra.
Whose crew handles the dust after my West Orange renovation?
Daniela Marque and her regular small crew, never subcontractors; DM is NJ MBE certified. If we missed a listed item, tell us within 24 hours and it is re-cleaned free while the house is still open to us.
When can the West Orange post-renovation clean take place?
After the last trade has cleared out. Book a free walk-through of the finished rooms and share the date you would like; our reply comes that day or the next, and the slot is held when the list and price are agreed.
Will you haul away debris after a West Orange renovation?
No. Debris and construction waste go with your contractor; we clean the dust the work left behind.
Can my West Orange contractor book the post-renovation clean?
Your contractor may send us the details, but you confirm the room list, the price and how we get in.
Do you remove grout haze or dried paint in West Orange?
No. Scraping paint, adhesive or grout haze and handling hazardous materials are outside our work.
More trades are due back at my West Orange house. Is that covered?
No. New work brings new dust, so a later clean is a separate visit with its own quote.
Will you clean a newly finished West Orange basement?
Yes, after the last contractor has left. A free walk-through of the finished basement lets us price the dust removal.
Does a West Orange renovation clean cost the same as a deep clean?
No. Construction dust is different work, so this clean has its own quote from a free walk-through, typically $400–$900+.
