The short answer

What does post-construction cleaning include?

Post-construction cleaning clears the fine dust, drywall residue, adhesive and debris a build or remodel leaves behind, inside cabinets, on baseboards, light fixtures, windowsills and floors, so the space is ready to move into rather than just technically finished. In Orlando, the same company that installs the floor can also handle the clean that follows, which keeps the handoff to one team instead of two.

A finished renovation does not look finished until the dust is gone. Drywall sanding, cutting trim, grinding old flooring loose and even the foot traffic of a crew moving materials through a house leave a fine, pale dust that settles on every horizontal surface and drifts into places a broom never reaches: inside cabinet boxes, on top of door frames, behind appliances, in window tracks. A quick wipe-down does not clear it. It needs to be worked out room by room, surface by surface.

Post-construction cleaning is built around that reality. It is not a lighter version of a regular house cleaning, and it is not the same job as a move-out clean. The work typically moves through stages that track the construction itself: an early pass once the heaviest work (demo, drywall, paint) is done, to knock dust levels down so the space is usable; and a final, detailed clean once trim, fixtures and flooring are in, covering the fine dust and residue that settles last. Which stages apply depends on where the project is in that sequence.

For a home in Greater Orlando where MS Floors & Cleaning also installed the new hardwood, vinyl plank or laminate floor, the cleaning can follow directly behind the flooring crew, on the same job, with the same point of contact. That is the part other cleaning companies in the area cannot offer: one insured team covers the install and the clean that makes the space livable again.

What is included

Post-Construction Cleaning, start to finish

Fine dust removal

Walls, trim, baseboards, door frames, vents and light fixtures wiped and dusted to clear the fine residue construction work leaves behind, not just the dust that is visible from across the room.

Floor clean-up

Floors swept, vacuumed and wiped after installation, sanding or demo, with attention to corners, transitions and thresholds where dust and debris collect.

Cabinet and drawer interiors

Cabinet boxes, drawers and shelving wiped out inside and out, since dust settles inside closed cabinetry during a remodel just as much as on open counters.

Kitchen and appliance surfaces

Counters, backsplash and appliance exteriors cleaned, with accessible appliance interiors wiped down if the appliances are already installed.

Bathroom fixtures and tile

Vanities, sinks, tubs, showers and tile scrubbed to clear grout haze, caulk residue and construction grime left over from installation work.

Windows, sills and tracks

Windowsills, tracks and interior glass cleaned of dust and overspray, along with switch plates and outlet covers that collect fine residue.

Debris and leftover material removal

Packaging, scrap, tape and other leftover material bagged and cleared from the space as part of the final pass.

How it works

How our post-construction cleaning works

01

Walkthrough

We look at the space, how far the project has progressed and which stages of cleaning still apply before anything is scheduled.

02

Dust and debris removal

The heaviest pass: clearing settled dust, leftover material and packaging from every room before the detail work starts.

03

Detail clean

Cabinets, fixtures, appliances, baseboards, windowsills and floors cleaned room by room, including the spots a standard clean skips.

04

Final walkthrough

A last pass through the space to catch anything settled since the detail clean, so the floors and every surface are ready for move-in.

Construction Dust Behaves Differently

Regular household dust mostly sits on top of surfaces and lifts with a cloth or a vacuum. Construction dust, especially the fine powder from drywall sanding, is lighter and gets carried on air currents through the whole house. It drifts into cabinets left ajar, settles on top of ceiling fan blades and door trim, and works its way into window tracks and electrical outlet covers.

That is why a post-construction clean takes longer and covers more ground than a standard clean: every surface, high and low, open and closed, gets checked, not just the ones that look dusty at a glance. Skipping that step is the usual reason a freshly finished room still looks slightly hazy a day or two after the crew leaves.

One Team for the Floor and the Clean That Follows

MS Floors & Cleaning runs two sides of the same business out of southwest Orlando: flooring installation, led by Marcos, and cleaning, led by Maisa. When a project includes both a new floor and a post-construction clean, it is the same company handling the handoff, with one point of contact and one insurance policy covering the work.

That matters most on remodels where the new floor is the last thing installed before the final clean. Instead of coordinating a separate cleaning company around the flooring schedule, the clean can be booked to follow the install directly, on the same property.

Who This Service Is For

Builders and remodelers finishing out a project before handoff, homeowners wrapping up a renovation before moving back in, and property owners prepping a unit after construction work are all typical calls for this service. The scope of the clean and the number of visits needed depend on how far along the project is and how much of the space was affected, which is why it starts with a walkthrough rather than a flat package.

Dining room table and chairs dusted and surfaces wiped clean

One team, both jobs

If the project still needs a new floor before the final clean, the same team installs hardwood, vinyl plank and laminate flooring across Greater Orlando.

Post-Construction Cleaning: common questions

A regular house cleaning is built around everyday dirt and clutter. Post-construction cleaning is built around fine dust, debris and residue from building or remodeling work, which settles inside cabinets, on fixtures and in places a normal cleaning routine does not check.
Yes. Floor installation leaves its own dust and offcut debris behind, and cleaning up after a flooring job is one of the more common requests for this service, especially when MS Floors & Cleaning also installed the floor.
Flooring installation and post-construction cleaning are booked separately, since not every flooring customer needs a full post-construction clean. Ask about scheduling the clean right after the install if your project needs both.
Timing depends on the project. Some spaces need an early pass while work is still finishing up, and others are ready for a single final clean once everything is installed. The walkthrough is where that gets sorted out for your project.
Yes, clearing packaging, scrap material and other leftover debris is part of the clean-up, alongside the dust and surface cleaning.
It depends on how much work is left and where. Mention what is still outstanding during the walkthrough so the cleaning can be scheduled around the remaining work instead of ahead of it.
