After the last nail is hammered and the paint has dried, a brand-new building might look finished—but it’s far from clean. Behind the fresh walls and glossy floors, layers of dust, debris, and residue still linger. New construction creates an invisible mess that standard cleaning routines just can’t handle. A professional approach is not just about making the space sparkle—it’s about making it livable, safe, and ready for its new occupants.
Removal of Fine Silica Dust from Interior Surfaces
Construction sites generate tons of fine dust, and silica is one of the most dangerous among them. It’s invisible, persistent, and can easily settle on every indoor surface—from countertops to light switches. Silica dust comes from cutting drywall, tile, and concrete, and it doesn’t simply vanish when construction stops. It clings to vents, floats in the air, and covers flat surfaces unless removed with specialized methods.
This isn’t a sweep-and-go job. To get rid of silica dust, professionals use HEPA-filter vacuums and microfiber cloths designed to trap fine particles, not just push them around. Without this step, the air remains contaminated and poses health risks, especially in enclosed areas. In Vancouver, post construction cleaning teams understand the importance of taking that dust seriously before furniture ever arrives.
Comprehensive HVAC Ductwork Decontamination
The heating and cooling system may be brand-new, but if it’s been running during construction, it’s already full of dust. Fine debris gets sucked into vents and settles deep inside ductwork. Once the HVAC system powers on in a finished home or office, it circulates that dust into every room. This results in poor air quality and forces new occupants to breathe in construction leftovers.
Cleaning ductwork after construction requires more than just removing vent covers. It involves high-powered vacuums, negative pressure equipment, and duct sanitizers to remove what’s hidden inside. Clean ducts not only protect air quality but also help the system run efficiently. For anyone moving into a new space, starting with a clean HVAC system is a must.
Detailed Sanitization of Newly Installed Fixtures
New fixtures—like faucets, door handles, and light switches—look clean, but appearances can deceive. These items are touched frequently during installation and handling, often without gloves. Dust, glue, paint smears, and even fingerprints can build up on their surfaces without notice. If left unsanitized, these high-touch areas collect grime before the space even gets used.
Thorough sanitization means more than wiping things down. Cleaners use non-abrasive disinfectants that remove grime without damaging the surface. Fixtures are polished, smudges are removed, and bacteria are eliminated. Post construction cleaning ensures each new detail of the home is fresh, safe, and really ready to use—especially in busy places like kitchens and bathrooms.
Professional Extraction of Embedded Carpet Debris
If carpets are part of the new build, chances are they’ve collected more than just dust. Wood splinters, nails, drywall dust, and even small hardware can end up buried in the fibers during installation. Regular vacuums don’t stand a chance against the kind of debris left by construction crews.
Professional cleaners use high-powered extractors to deep-clean carpets, pulling up everything hidden beneath the surface. This process not only clears out dust and grit but also refreshes the carpet, removing any smells or stains from adhesives or glue. In Vancouver, post construction cleaning services understand that carpet cleanup is about making the space livable—not just clean on the surface.
Thorough Window Pane and Frame Polishing
Windows in new buildings often look foggy, scratched, or streaked—especially after construction wraps. Paint overspray, tape residue, plaster splatter, and dust collect in corners and crevices. Without the right technique, trying to clean these areas can lead to permanent streaks or scratches.
A good window cleaning involves more than a squeegee. Professionals use specialized scrapers and non-scratch cleaning agents to polish glass and wipe down every inch of the frame and sill. We remove construction labels, silicone drips, and grime, ensuring the windows are crystal clear. Clean, gleaming windows are one of the first things people notice, and post construction cleaning makes them shine like they should.
Residue-Free Treatment of Flooring Surfaces
Flooring takes the brunt of construction activity. Whether it’s hardwood, vinyl, or tile, each surface collects layers of dust, adhesives, grout haze, and paint drips. These marks are often overlooked or dismissed as permanent until professionals step in.
Cleaning newly installed floors means carefully removing residue without damaging finishes. That means using pH-neutral cleaners, steamers, or soft buffing machines depending on the material. Every inch is scrubbed until the floor reveals its true look—without scuffs or haze. In Vancouver, post construction cleaning teams are trained to treat each flooring type with the attention it deserves.
Intensive Grout and Tile Surface Reconditioning
Freshly installed tile can look flawless at first glance, but grout lines often tell a different story. During construction, excess grout can dry on the surface, leaving a cloudy haze. Dust settles into the crevices and hardens, while adhesives and sealants may create patches of discoloration.
To properly clean tiles and grout, specialists use scrubbers, steam, and non-corrosive chemicals that lift buildup without eroding the grout itself. It’s detailed work that leaves tile surfaces truly finished. This step also prevents mold and mildew from forming in damp spaces like bathrooms or kitchens. Clean grout lines and gleaming tile aren’t just aesthetic—they signal a space that’s truly ready to live in.
High-Level Cleaning of Overhead Lighting and Ventilation Fixtures
Ceilings are often the last place people look—but dust doesn’t miss them. Ceiling fans, light fixtures, vents, and even sprinklers gather layers of grime during construction. It’s not uncommon for these overhead areas to go untouched even after move-in, quietly spreading dust across the room below.
Post construction cleaning professionals use ladders, extendable tools, and gentle cleaning solutions to carefully address these elevated surfaces. They remove cobwebs, construction debris, and dust that’s settled out of sight. For a truly clean space, the top matters as much as the bottom—and clean lighting ensures the entire room shines brighter.
