Five Spots Most Cleaners Skip in Wayne County Homes (And Why We Don't)
The corners, crevices, and forgotten hardware that quietly separate a real clean from a quick wipe-down — what we cover on every deep clean.
Post Construction · Wayne County, NC
Post-construction cleaning that finishes what the punch list quietly leaves behind.
Three-phase cleaning for new builds and renovations across Wayne County — drywall dust, adhesive, splatter, and the residue that always survives the final walkthrough.
- General contractors finishing builds
- Homeowners after a renovation
- Builders prepping walkthrough
- Realtors with new-build listings
PricingQuoted per projectPriced by phase and project scope. Most builds get a rough, touch-up, and final — each priced separately.
The three-phase model
Three cleans. Three different jobs.
Construction dust can't be solved in one final clean — by then it's already trapped under paint, behind cabinets, beneath floors. So we clean three times, between the right trades, with the right equipment each time.
Phase 01
After drywall · Before paint
Rough clean
- HEPA-vacuum every interior surface
- Scrape adhesive & overspray from windows
- Prep substrate for paint adhesion
- Removes 90% of the job's total drywall dust
Phase 02
After paint · Before flooring
Touch-up clean
- Paint splatter from outlets, switches, hinges
- Wipe trim residue
- Ready subfloor for flooring crews
- Prevents painters' residue tracking on new floors
Phase 03
After flooring · Before turnover
Final clean
- Every interior surface — top to bottom
- Sticker & adhesive removal
- HVAC vent & return cleaning
- Inside-the-appliance details
Built for GCs and finished builds
Trades, insurance, & photographer-ready finals.
Post-construction cleaning is half coordination, half equipment. We do both — and we work the way construction schedules actually work.
Three-phase model
Rough, touch-up, final. Dust doesn't get trapped under finishes the next trade installs on top.
HEPA equipment
Different vacuums for fine construction dust than residential. Drywall powder needs the right filtration.
COI on file
Insurance certificates ready for any GC relationship. Send the project address and we issue a COI before phase one.
Photographer-coordinated
We can schedule the final clean to end just before your listing photo shoot. Last clean, last touch-up, photos.

Questions we hear
About post-construction cleaning.
Phase selection, COIs, photographer coordination, what's actually different about construction dust — the questions GCs and homeowners ask before phase one.
Do you do all three phases, or can I just book the final clean?
Most homeowners post-renovation only need the final clean, scoped to the affected rooms. Most general contractors and developers book all three phases. We do any combination — talk to us about scope on the quote form.
What insurance do you carry for construction sites?
General liability and worker's compensation suitable for active construction sites. We provide certificates of insurance to GCs on request — include the GC's name and project address on the quote.
How long does a post-construction final clean take?
A 2,500 sqft single-family build typically takes a two-person team a full day. Larger custom homes a day and a half to two days. Renovation-only finals usually finish in a half-day.
Do you remove construction stickers and adhesive residue?
Yes — every visible appliance and window sticker, plus the adhesive underneath. We use the right solvent for each surface so we don't damage fresh paint or stainless steel finishes.
Can you coordinate with my photographer for listing photos?
Yes. Tell us the photo shoot time on the quote and we'll end the final clean just before the photographer arrives. We can also be on-site during the shoot for last-minute glass and hardware touch-ups.
Do you clean HVAC ducts after construction?
We clean visible vents and returns. Actual duct cleaning (interior of the ductwork) needs different equipment and is best done by a licensed HVAC specialist. We'll refer one.
What's the difference between a deep clean and a post-construction final?
A deep clean is for occupied homes — works from a maintainable baseline. A post-construction final addresses things a deep clean doesn't have to: drywall dust in vents, paint splatter on outlets, manufacturer stickers, fine construction grit on every surface.
