Post-Construction Cleaning

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.
