Is a post-construction clean covered by your re-clean guarantee?
Yes. If construction dust was missed on a task you booked, tell us within 24 hours of your clean and we’ll return within 5 days to re-clean it, at no 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; 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 clears light debris, which is 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, Paint & residue spot removal is a paid extra on post-renovation and post-construction bookings only: before HST, it costs $63 for homes under 1,200 sq ft, $94.50 for 1,200–1,999 sq ft, $157.50 for 2,000–3,999 sq ft, $252 for 4,000–4,999 sq ft and $630 for 5,000–7,000 sq ft; for homes over 7,000 sq ft, contact us for a quote. Your cleaner uses surface-safe tools and products for light spot removal of fresh paint flecks, small drips and splatters, and tape, sticker or adhesive residue on hard surfaces such as hard floors, tile, glass, sills, frames and fixtures. Paint on carpet or unsealed or unfinished wood, large spills, overspray or roller spatter across whole floors, dried paint needing stripping, solvents or sanding, and wall touch-ups are for your painter or contractor. Not every mark comes off; your cleaner removes what comes off safely.
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?
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 tape or sticker residue need the separate Paint & residue spot removal extra, available on post-renovation and post-construction bookings only (from $63, by home size, before HST).
