Post-Construction
Post-Construction Cleaning in New Jersey
Construction dust keeps settling for days. We clean for that, not around it.
About this service
What post-construction cleaning actually involves
The work is finished, the crew has gone, and the space isn't usable. Fine gray dust on every surface, adhesive on the windows, paint speckle on the hardware.
Here's what catches people out: drywall dust stays in the air for hours. Clean a renovated space once and it looks wrong the next morning. That's not poor work — it's how the dust behaves.
So we plan for a return pass once it settles. We also match our method to the finish, because new hardwood, fresh grout and polished concrete each need different handling.
Who it is for
Who we work with

Why Kamille's
What we bring to post-construction work
We plan for the dust to come back
The touch-up pass is part of the quote, not a callback. One pass looks wrong the next morning and we'd rather say so up front.
We work to your stages
Rough, final and touch-up are the stages your schedule already runs on. We fit into them.
Finish-aware floor cleaning
New hardwood, unsealed grout and fresh vinyl each need different handling. The wrong method shows up months later.
Quoted on site
The variable is the condition the trades left. Nobody can assess that over the phone.

Questions
Post-Construction questions, answered
What does post-construction cleaning include?
Usually three stages: debris removal, a full top-down dust clearance, and a final detail pass covering glass, fixtures, adhesive and floors. Most jobs also want a touch-up visit a day or two later.
Why can't it be done in one visit?
Drywall dust stays airborne for hours. Whatever is in the air when we finish lands on your surfaces overnight. A touch-up pass after it settles is the only reliable way to hand over a clean space.
How is this different from a deep clean?
Different material and different method. Construction leaves abrasive dust, adhesive, grout haze and paint speckle on brand-new surfaces. Abrasive dust has to be lifted, not wiped, or it scratches the finish.
Can you work alongside our trades?
For debris removal, usually yes. For the final and touch-up passes it's counterproductive — any trade still working puts dust back on surfaces we just finished.
Do you remove construction debris?
We clear remaining debris to a container or collection point on site. We're not a disposal contractor, so hauling needs arranging separately. Tell us what's there and we'll say what we can handle.
How soon before handover should we book?
Book the final pass for after the last trade finishes, and the touch-up for the day before handover. Work backwards from the handover date, not forwards from completion.
