Post renovation & construction cleaning

Post-Construction Cleaning in Toronto

Don’t let a layer of dust make your freshly renovated home look tired. Our post-construction and post-remodel cleaning clears the dust and residue from floor to ceiling, to the same high standard as our home cleaning services.

Homeowners and contractors rely on Toronto Shine Cleaning to clear the dust, residue and light debris that construction leaves behind, so you can get back to your home or your business.

Our professional cleaners work through the space systematically: dry dusting first, so grit isn’t dragged across new finishes, then washing, vacuuming and mopping every room, including the corners that never get attention.

Every post-construction clean includes the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and common areas, with all supplies brought at no extra cost, and each job is inspected before we leave.

Post-construction cleaning guide

Walking into a freshly renovated home should feel like the finish line. Instead, most homeowners meet a film of fine dust over every surface, paint flecks on the floors, and adhesive residue on the windows. Post-construction cleaning is the step that turns a completed renovation into a home you can actually live in, and it needs the right cleaners, the right products, and a systematic plan. Toronto Shine Cleaning provides post-construction and after-renovation cleaning across Toronto and the GTA, using the same meticulous standards as our deep cleaning service.

What Is Post-Construction Cleaning?

Post-construction cleaning is the deep reset a space needs after any renovation, new build, or remodel. Construction dust is not household dust. It is a fine, abrasive powder that settles into window tracks, cabinet hinges, vents, and every textured surface, and it can keep circulating for weeks if it is not removed properly. A post-construction clean takes that dust out at the source, along with drywall residue, sawdust, paint splatters, adhesive and tape residue, and the light debris trades leave behind. The goal is simple: every renovated surface should look as good as the day the contractor finished, with nothing left for you to scrub yourself.

The Three Stages of a Post-Construction Clean

A proper after-renovation clean is never a single pass. Our cleaners work in three stages, moving from the heaviest buildup to the finest detail, so nothing gets smeared, scratched, or missed.

Stage 1: The Rough Clean

The rough clean tackles the visible layer of the mess. Your cleaners remove light construction debris, drywall dust, and loose sawdust from floors and surfaces, clear window sills and ledges, and wipe down the heaviest buildup before any wet cleaning begins. Wiping a dusty surface with water only turns it into mud, so this pass stays dry and systematic, resetting each room before the deeper work starts.

Stage 2: The Final Clean

With the heavy dust gone, the final clean works through every surface room by room. We spot-clean walls, wipe baseboards, clean doors, frames, and switch plates, and clean window sills and frames. Kitchen cabinet fronts are wiped, bathrooms get a full scrub of tile, grout lines, fixtures, and mirrors, and floors are vacuumed and mopped from the back of the room to the door. This is the pass where the space starts to look like the renovation you paid for.

Stage 3: The Detail and Polish Phase

The detail phase is what separates a post-construction clean from a standard wipe-down. Your cleaners go back through with the tools and products made for construction residue: removing paint splatters and adhesive or tape residue from glass, frames, and floors, polishing fixtures and hardware, cleaning vents and register covers, and checking the crevices where fine dust collects. The job ends with a room-by-room inspection, floor to ceiling, so the handover is truly move-in ready.

What Our Post-Construction Cleaning Includes

Every post-construction clean covers the full home, room by room: the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and common areas. All cleaning supplies and equipment are included at no additional cost.

  • Kitchen: cabinet fronts, countertops, backsplash, sink and fixtures, exterior of appliances, floors
  • Bathrooms: tile and grout, tub, shower, toilet, vanity, mirrors, fixtures, floors
  • Bedrooms and common areas: spot-cleaned walls, baseboards, doors and frames, switch plates, vents, window sills, floors
  • Construction residue: paint splatters, adhesive and tape residue, drywall dust, sawdust, and small or light debris
  • Extras and add-ons: interior windows, inside the oven and fridge, inside cabinets, wet-wiped baseboards, interior wall washing, finished basements, laundry, and more. See add-ons and prices on the booking page.

What Post-Construction Cleaning Costs in Toronto

Every renovation leaves a different amount of dust, debris, and residue, so your price is based on the size of your home and the scope of the project, and you see it before you book. On the booking form, post-renovation cleaning starts at $439 before HST for a studio or 1 bedroom home under 600 sq ft and scales with size, with every extra itemized, so you know exactly what is included before your cleaners arrive.

When to Book Your Post-Construction Cleaning

Book your post-construction clean once all construction work is complete, large debris and tools are cleared from the site, and no contractors are working in the home. We recommend booking a few days ahead so the date lines up with your project handover, and you choose your time as you book. Because fine dust settles for a while after the initial clean, a second visit a few weeks later is common and worth planning for, and it pairs naturally with a regular cleaning schedule once you are settled in. For landlords and sellers, the post-construction clean also sets up the property perfectly for our move-in or move-out cleaning service.

Why Toronto Homeowners Choose Toronto Shine Cleaning

Our cleaners are vetted, background-checked, and professionally trained, we carry $5,000,000 liability insurance, and we bring all supplies and equipment at no extra cost.

How much does post construction cleaning cost in Toronto?
From $439 before HST for a studio or 1 bedroom home under 600 sq ft. You see your price upfront on the booking form, based on your home’s size and the extras the renovation calls for, and we’ll talk you through anything unusual before you book. Behind that price is the time the project needs: cleaning is charged by the hour, with a 3-hour minimum.
What is included in post construction cleaning?
Dust removed from walls, baseboards, vents, window sills and crevices; paint splatters and adhesive residue lifted; fixtures polished; small, light debris cleared; and the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and common areas cleaned top to bottom. All supplies and equipment are included.
When should post construction cleaning happen after a renovation?
Once the work is complete, the large debris and tools are cleared and no contractors are on site. Ideally, just before you move in or return to the space, so the result stays untouched. Book a few days ahead to line it up with your project handover.
How long does post construction cleaning take?
It depends on the size of the space and the scope of the renovation. The booking form shows the estimated time before you book, every booking has a 3-hour minimum, and longer projects, about 4–5 hours or more, get a second cleaner so the work finishes sooner.
Is post construction cleaning different from regular cleaning?
Yes. Construction dust is fine, abrasive, and gets into places household dust rarely reaches, including window tracks, vents, cabinet hinges, and fresh paint. Post-construction cleaning also involves removing paint splatters, adhesive and tape residue, and light debris, which are not part of a regular cleaning. It requires additional equipment and products, which is why we treat it as a dedicated service.
Can you remove paint splatters and adhesive residue?
Yes. Our cleaners use techniques and products made for construction residue to lift paint splatters, adhesive and tape marks from glass, frames, floors and other surfaces, working with care around fresh paint and new materials.
Do I need to prepare my home before the cleaning?
Very little. Make sure the construction work is finished, the large debris, tools and materials are cleared, and no contractors will be working during the clean. Tell us about any delicate finishes or special instructions, and our cleaners handle the rest.
Do you remove construction debris?
Yes, the small, light debris: dust, drywall fragments and loose offcuts are cleared as part of the clean. Ask your contractor to take away large items and materials before we arrive, so every surface can be reached.
Will I need a second clean after the renovation?
Often, yes. Fine construction dust keeps settling for a while after the first clean, so a follow-up visit a few weeks later is common, and it’s a natural start to regular cleaning once you’re settled in.
How do you clean new hardwood, tile and fresh paint?
With care. Your cleaners dry-dust first, so grit isn’t dragged across new finishes, then use products suited to each surface, from hardwood and tile to freshly painted walls, delicate fixtures and custom installations.
Are your cleaners trained for post-renovation sites?
Yes. Our cleaners are vetted, background-checked and trained for post-renovation work: the fine dust, the residue and the care new finishes need.
Can you clean the windows after a renovation?
Yes. Window sills and frames are part of every post-construction clean, and you can add the interior glass when you book, paint splatters and construction residue included.
