Renovation and construction cleanup
It's an exciting time to build or renovate in Los Angeles. You’re creating a dream home or space that meets your needs more effectively. When you build something, a mess will come. That’s why post-construction cleaning services are a valuable asset.
What Is Post-Construction Cleaning?
Post-construction cleaning is a professional service for newly built or recently renovated structures. It occurs after the building work is complete. This specialty cleaning service removes the dirt, dust, and debris that construction generates. That makes it easier to complete the project or make the space usable.
What Does Post-Construction Cleaning Include?
Once the construction or renovation work is over, it’s time to clean that space to ensure it is safe and usable. Here are some of the tasks that our team completes to ensure this outcome occurs.
- Clean walls to ensure they’re free of dirt, smudges, and marks.
- Dusting, trim cleaning, and threshold cleaning.
- Disposal of debris and trash from construction services.
- Vacuuming and mopping as necessary for each floor type.
- Cleaning cabinets, appliances, and shelves, inside and out.
These services provide a detailed checking of each corner, space, and surface to ensure it is safe and clean.
How Much Does Post-Construction Cleaning Cost?
The average cost of post-construction cleanup varies, but the average price is typically in the $0.15 to $0.50 per square foot range. Most residential projects tend to be under $1,000, but a large property that requires attention in each room could be significantly more to clean. The best way to know what to expect for pricing if you need post-construction cleaning in Los Angeles is to request a free, no-obligation estimate.
How Long Does Post-Construction Cleaning Take?
Professional post-construction cleaning services typically require about one hour for every 100 to 200 square feet of space that need attention. That’s assuming a crew of two to four people is hired to complete the project. The complexity of the space and cleanup work influence the time estimate. If the renovation work is on a building’s third floor, removing the items might take more time and effort.
When to Schedule Post-Construction Cleaning
Post-construction cleaning should be scheduled whenever the work in a room or the entire structure is complete. It is sometimes necessary to have these services provided before specific tasks are completed. If the job is to install or remodel a kitchen, it could be helpful to remove the mess before installing backsplash tile or new flooring.
How to Prepare for Post-Construction Cleaning
The first step in preparing for this service is to remove any remaining construction debris. It helps to secure loose wires or eliminate open spaces where debris could interfere with the final cleaning phase. Next, clear any remaining tools or supplies from the area. It’s not unusual for baseboards and walls to receive scuff marks, but they must be accessible to have them removed. Finally, keep an eye out for sharp items, such as staples, bolts, or nails. These are potential hazards that damage cleaning equipment. Remove them whenever they’re spotted.
