Post-Construction Cleaning
Orange County | Inland Empire | Los Angeles
Once construction or tenant improvement work wraps up, the space needs to be cleaned before occupancy, inspections, or turnover. Post-construction cleaning deals with dust, fixtures, floors, windows, glass, and debris that general janitorial doesn’t handle. The goal is to turn an active construction environment into a finished, usable space that looks presentable and ready for handoff.
What We Clean
Typical scopes include:
Construction dust removal
Light debris and packaging removal
Fixture cleaning and wipe-down
Glass and window cleaning (interior side)
Mirrors, partitions, and hardware
Cabinets, shelving, lockers, and millwork
Countertops and surfaces
Tile, grout, and concrete floors
Breakrooms and common areas
Restrooms and locker rooms
High and low dusting
Door frames and jambs
Thresholds and baseboards
Vents and registers (surface-level dusting)
These are the areas most commonly flagged during punch lists or walkthroughs.
Types of Projects
We clean a range of post-construction environments:
Tenant improvement (TI)
Retail buildouts
Office buildouts
Medical and dental buildouts
Fitness and gyms
Restaurants and food service
Commercial restrooms
Industrial and light manufacturing
Multi-unit commercial spaces
Banks and financial institutions
Municipal and education
Each project has different finish levels, timelines, and turnover expectations.
Punch List and Turnover Cleaning
Punch lists often include:
Dust still present on surfaces
Glass not fully cleaned
Residue on tile, grout, or concrete
Paint or drywall dust traces
Fingerprints on fixtures and hardware
Dirt in corners and thresholds
Locker rooms and restrooms not finished
We work to close out those items so the space can move toward inspections, occupancy, or tenant move-in.
Floor Cleaning
Floors typically require the most attention during post-construction cleaning. Depending on the material, we may:
Vacuum loose debris
Remove floor protection residue
Clean tile and grout
Neutralize tile or concrete
Detail corners and edges
Steam clean or extract (surface dependent)
Concrete can be sealed, unsealed, polished, or coated. Tile and grout require chemistry and dwell time to lift dust and haze.
Windows, Glass, and Partitions
Interior glass is common during buildouts. We clean:
Entry vestibules
Conference room glass
Interior partitions
Mirrors
Display glass
Window interiors
Dust, drywall residue, and fingerprints need to be cleared before turnover.
Dust and High Dusting
Construction dust settles everywhere, especially after framing, drywall, sanding, and millwork. We remove dust from:
Cabinets and counters
Doors and jambs
Shelving and lockers
Millwork and trim
Baseboards and thresholds
Fixtures and hardware
Registers and vents (surface level)
This improves air quality, appearance, and final presentation.

FAQ
Do you clean before or after punch lists?
Either. Some projects require cleaning twice depending on inspections and trade sequencing.
Do you replace janitorial services?
No. Janitorial takes over once the space is open and occupied. Post-construction is a one-time turnover service.
Do you handle debris haul away?
Light debris is included. Larger volumes can be quoted separately.
Can you clean while trades are still working?
Yes, but final cleaning is usually done once trades are out.
