Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the 3 phases of post-construction cleaning?

Phase 1 (Rough Clean) removes large debris and stickers; Phase 2 (Light/Detail Clean) HEPA-vacuums drywall dust and scrubs kitchens/baths; Phase 3 (Final Touch-Up) removes fingerprints right before walkthrough.

What is the average price per square foot for post-construction cleaning?

Post-construction cleaning typically ranges from $0.15 to $0.30/sq ft for final touch-ups and $0.30 to $0.60/sq ft for multi-phase rough and final cleanups.

Why factor in debris disposal fees?

Dumpster pulls and construction debris haul-away fees are direct pass-through costs that should never come out of your labor margin.
