Post Renovation Cleaning for Cincinnati Homeowners

The contractors are gone. The dust isn't. Let's fix that.

You lived through weeks of noise and plastic sheeting, and the new kitchen or bathroom finally looks the way you pictured it. Then you run a finger along a shelf. Our post renovation cleaning clears the fine dust a remodel leaves on every surface in the house, not just the room that was worked on, so your home feels livable again.

Renovation dust travels. It drifts under doors, settles on top of cabinets and door frames, coats window sills, and hides in vent covers two rooms away. Opening up plaster walls in an older home makes an especially fine, chalky dust. A regular dusting just pushes it around, so we clean from the ceiling down and finish with the floors.

Whether you redid one bathroom or refreshed the whole first floor, we'll focus on the rooms that took the hit and catch the dust that wandered into the rest of the house.

Cleaning After a Remodel: Questions

Why is there still dust after my contractor cleaned up?

Contractor cleanup usually means sweeping and hauling out debris. The fine drywall and plaster dust floats, then settles on ledges, trim, and vents all over the house, and it takes a top-down clean to get it.

Should I clean the whole house or just the remodeled room?

Usually the whole house, with extra time on the remodeled room. Dust travels under doors and through vents, so rooms that were never touched often need a wipe-down too.

How soon after the remodel can you come?

As soon as the work is finished and the crew has packed up. Booking a day or two after the final punch list gives the dust time to settle before we arrive.
