Who Is This Service For?
Post-construction cleaning is for homeowners who have completed a new build, major addition, or renovation and need their windows cleared of construction residue before move-in or final walkthrough. It's also frequently requested by contractors and general contractors to fulfill punch-list requirements. Attempting to remove drywall dust, caulk overspray, or adhesive with standard cleaning methods risks scratching new glass permanently — professional technique and the right tools are essential.
What's Included
- Safe removal of manufacturer labels, shipping stickers, and adhesive residue
- Dry removal of drywall dust and fine debris before any wet cleaning begins (prevents micro-scratching)
- Removal of paint overspray, stucco splatter, and caulk drips using appropriate solvents and scrapers
- Final glass wash and polish to factory-clear finish
- Frame and sill cleanup of construction dust and compound residue
- Careful technique on new glass with coatings, film, or architectural treatments
What Affects the Price
Every job is different. Here's what we factor into your estimate:
- 1Window count and size — post-construction cleaning is priced per job based on scope
- 2Type of contamination — paint, caulk, and adhesive each require different tools and solvents
- 3Glass type — specialty glass with Low-E coatings, frits, or applied film requires extra care and time
- 4Stage of project — some jobs benefit from two visits (mid-construction and final clean)
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I just use a razor blade to remove construction residue myself?
Dry scraping with a standard razor blade on glass that still has grit or abrasive particles on the surface causes microscopic scratches that permanently cloud the glass — this is especially common with drywall dust. Proper technique requires dry brushing first, the correct blade angle, and appropriate solvents for each type of residue. Replacing scratched new glass is expensive.
When should I schedule post-construction cleaning — before or after move-in?
We recommend scheduling after all trades have finished but before furniture is moved in. This gives us full access to every window and floor-level glass. If your project has a phased schedule, a mid-construction clean of finished areas followed by a final cleanup works well.
Do you work with general contractors and builders?
Yes — we work directly with GCs and homebuilders to fulfill punch-list window cleaning requirements. We can invoice contractors directly, carry certificate of insurance documentation, and coordinate scheduling around your project timeline.
Can post-construction deposits permanently damage new glass?
Yes, if left too long. Concrete splatter, acid-based masonry cleaners, and certain adhesives can etch or bond permanently to glass over weeks to months. The sooner post-construction cleaning is performed, the better the outcome and the lower the risk of permanent damage.
