Post-Construction vs. Standard Deep Clean — What's Different?
Post-construction cleaning isn't a deep clean with extra steps. The physics are fundamentally different. How silica dust penetrates interior surfaces explains why standard protocols fail after renovation.
| Factor | Standard Deep Clean | Post-Construction Clean |
|---|---|---|
| Dust type | Organic lint, dander, household soil | Crystalline silica (Mohs 7 hardness) |
| Particle size | >10 micron — captured by standard vacuums | 0.3–2.5 micron PM2.5 class — passes through standard filters |
| Surface risk | Routine soil accumulation | Microscopic abrasion on hardwood (Mohs 4) and granite |
| HEPA protocol | Standard vacuuming sufficient | 0.3-micron crevice extraction required |
| Timing | Any time | 72-hr window after contractor sign-off, before occupancy |
Frequently Asked Questions
Post-construction cleaning in San Diego is $75/hr per Certified Cleaning Specialist with a 3-hour minimum ($225 minimum). Final cost depends on project scope, square footage, and debris level. We provide detailed quotes within 24 hours.
Schedule post-construction cleaning after all construction work is complete but before moving furniture back in. Ideally, wait 24-48 hours after final construction to let dust settle, but book your appointment as soon as you know the completion date.
Most projects require just one thorough post-construction cleaning, but larger renovations may need two passes. Construction dust is fine and settles into every crevice, sometimes reappearing after initial cleaning. We recommend a second cleaning for whole-home remodels.
Yes, window cleaning is included in our post-construction service. We clean both interior and exterior window surfaces, removing construction residue, paint overspray, and protective films. We also clean window tracks and frames, which often collect significant dust during renovations.
