Post-Construction
A new build or remodel isn't finished when the last trade packs up — it's finished when the space is dust-free, streak-free, and ready to hand over. Cleandora Services provides specialized post-construction cleaning across the Greater Seattle Area for contractors, builders, remodelers, developers, and homeowners coming out of a renovation. This is not a standard housekeeping job, and we don't treat it like one. Construction leaves behind fine drywall dust, paint splatter, adhesive residue, and grit in places ordinary cleaning never reaches. We get it all out so your site is genuinely move-in ready.
We're locally owned, licensed and insured, and comfortable working on active job sites — which matters when you're scheduling us alongside other trades and need a crew that respects the site, the timeline, and the finishes.
Post-construction cleaning is the deep, detail-level cleanup that happens after building or remodeling work is complete. It targets the residue construction leaves behind: ultra-fine dust that settles into every surface, smears on glass, debris in corners, and the marks left by paint, caulk, adhesives, and protective stickers. The goal is a turnover-quality finish — the space looks brand new, not "recently worked on."
Because construction dust is so fine, it works its way into HVAC vents, light fixtures, cabinet interiors, window tracks, and baseboards. Wiping the obvious surfaces isn't enough; the dust resettles within hours. Doing it properly takes the right sequence, the right tools, and crews who know where construction grime hides.
Most projects move through three distinct phases. Depending on your timeline, we can handle one, two, or all three:
Our crews work methodically through the whole space. A detail clean typically covers:
We bring our own professional-grade supplies and equipment, and we adjust our methods to the finishes on site — new hardwood, tile, quartz, and freshly painted walls each call for different handling.
Construction cleanup and standard cleaning are different jobs. A regular cleaner is equipped to maintain an already-finished home, not to neutralize the fallout from drywall, sanding, painting, and demolition. Standard vacuums clog on fine dust, ordinary cloths just relocate it, and most residential crews aren't insured or comfortable on an active site. Skip the specialized step and you get callbacks: dust resettling on every surface, hazed-over windows, and gritty floors days after move-in.
Post-construction work also demands knowledge of which solvents and tools safely remove adhesive and paint without damaging new windows, fixtures, or flooring. That's a learned skill, and it's the difference between a flawless handover and a damaged finish. For finished spaces that simply need a reset rather than construction cleanup, our deep cleaning service is the right fit — but a fresh build or remodel needs the specialized approach described here.
Yes. We know construction timelines move, and we build our scheduling around yours. We coordinate to come in at the right point — after dust-generating work is done, before finishes go in, or right before a walkthrough — and we can phase the clean across rough, final, and touch-up visits as the job progresses. Because we're licensed and insured, we're cleared to work on active commercial and residential job sites throughout the Seattle area, including Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Renton, Bothell, and Tacoma.
For builders and developers handling commercial spaces, offices, or tenant improvements, this pairs naturally with our ongoing commercial and office cleaning once the space is occupied. And every post-construction project is part of our full range of house cleaning services across Seattle, so one local team can cover the build, the turnover, and the ongoing maintenance.
Post-construction cleaning is priced by the scope of the job — square footage, the number of phases, how much dust and residue the work generated, and the finishes involved. Because it's more involved than a standard clean, it carries a higher rate than routine housekeeping. Our cleaning starts at $45/hour, with transparent flat-rate quotes and no hidden fees. The fastest way to get an accurate number is our free instant estimate — it takes about 20 seconds, and there's no commitment.

Do you work with contractors and builders, or only homeowners? Both. We regularly partner with contractors, builders, remodelers, and developers on new builds and renovations, and we also serve homeowners finishing a remodel. We're licensed and insured to work on active job sites.
When should we schedule the cleaning during our project? It depends on which phase you need. A rough clean happens after major trades finish, a final detail clean after all construction is complete, and a touch-up right before handover or walkthrough. Tell us your timeline and we'll fit the clean into the right window — many projects use two or three phases.
Can you remove paint, adhesive, and stickers without damaging new finishes? Yes. Removing paint specks, caulk, adhesive, and protective stickers from glass, floors, fixtures, and hardware is a core part of the job. We use methods matched to each finish so new windows, flooring, and fixtures aren't scratched or marked.
Do you clean the construction dust out of HVAC vents and window tracks? Yes. Fine dust collects in HVAC registers, window tracks, cabinet interiors, and trim. We address these areas specifically so dust doesn't keep resettling or blow through the space when the system first runs.
Do you bring your own supplies and equipment? Yes. We bring professional-grade equipment and supplies suited to construction cleanup, including the tools needed to handle fine dust that clogs ordinary vacuums and cloths.
Which areas do you cover? We serve the Greater Seattle Area, including Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Renton, Bothell, Everett, Lynnwood, Kenmore, Woodinville, Issaquah, Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace, and Tacoma.
