Post-Construction Cleanup in Greater Boston

Final clean services for unit renovations, common area upgrades, and new construction build-outs — staffed, supervised, and ready on your timeline.

The final clean is a timing problem as much as a cleaning problem

Post-construction cleanup sounds straightforward — clean the space after the work is done. In practice, the challenge is almost always about timing. Construction dust settles fast. Once it does, surfaces that looked clean an hour ago need to be cleaned again. A project that wraps on a Thursday needs a crew available Thursday — with enough people to complete the work before the space is handed off, photographed, or occupied.

Property managers and general contractors don't need a cleaning company that shows up when it's convenient. They need one that can staff the right crew, with a supervisor on site, on the day the project is ready — and execute quickly enough that the space is genuinely clean before dust settles and the window closes.

78-Clean coordinates post-construction cleanups around your project timeline, not ours. When you know your completion date, we staff accordingly — crew size matched to the scope, supervisor on site, ready to move the moment the GC hands off the space.

What the service includes

Post-construction cleanup is a full surface clean of every area affected by construction activity — walls, ceilings, floors, fixtures, windows, sills, baseboards, cabinet interiors, and any surface where dust, debris, or construction residue has landed.

Dust removal

Construction dust travels further than anyone expects — into adjacent rooms, up stairwells, through HVAC vents, and onto surfaces that weren't part of the work area. 78-Clean's post-construction crews work systematically from top to bottom, ensuring dust is removed rather than redistributed. Every surface is wiped, every fixture cleaned, every corner reached.

Surface cleaning throughout

Countertops, cabinet interiors and exteriors, appliances, windows and sills, doors and door frames, light fixtures, switch plates, and all finish surfaces are cleaned to move-in or occupancy standard — not just the obvious areas.

Common area restoration

For unit renovations in multifamily buildings, construction activity affects more than the unit itself. Hallways, stairwells, elevator interiors, and building entries accumulate dust, debris, and contractor foot traffic. 78-Clean restores common areas to their pre-construction standard as part of the same service.

Floor preparation

Post-construction floor cleaning removes construction debris, adhesive residue, and surface grime that accumulates during a project. For floor restoration beyond surface cleaning — stripping, waxing, or carpet shampooing — see our Floor Care services.

Debris removal

For leftover construction debris, packaging materials, and bulk waste removal after a project wraps, see our Junk Removal & Cleanouts service.
