After the contractors leave
Post-Construction Cleaning in Westlake, OH
Renovation dust does not vacuum away in one pass. We clean Westlake homes after remodels, additions, and new builds so the space is actually livable.
Why renovation dust is its own job
Drywall dust is fine enough to travel through an entire house and settle on every surface, including the ones you cannot see — the tops of door casings, inside light fixtures, along window tracks, on HVAC vent louvers, and in the fibers of any carpet nearby. It also comes back. Wipe a room once and it looks clean; two hours later a new film has settled from the air and from surfaces you have not touched yet.
That is why post-construction cleaning is sequenced rather than sprayed and wiped. We work top down, capture dust with microfiber and HEPA vacuuming instead of pushing it around, and clean the same room more than once when the dust load calls for it. Contractors are good at construction cleanup — hauling debris, sweeping, a broad pass. What is left behind is the detail work we handle.
Westlake remodels we clean after
Kitchen remodels are the most common call in Westlake, and the messiest, because the dust lands on everything in the adjacent living and dining spaces. Bathroom gut jobs concentrate tile dust and grout haze in a small room with a lot of surface. Basement finishing spreads dust through the whole lower level and into the furnace system. Additions and window replacements leave adhesive residue, stickers, paint flecks, and caulk on glass and trim.
We also clean new construction before handover, where the list runs to sticker and label removal, paint overspray on hardware, sawdust in cabinet interiors, and construction film on windows and appliances.
