Post-Construction Cleaning

Walton County • Okaloosa County • Florida Panhandle

After the Build Is Done

Construction Leaves a Mess. We Clean It Up.

When the contractors pack up and leave, the real work begins. Construction and renovation projects leave behind fine dust that settles on every surface, grout haze on brand-new tile, drywall particles in carpet fibers, and debris in corners that nobody swept. A standard cleaning won't cut it.

Erik's Cleaning Company provides thorough post-construction cleaning for new homebuilds, full renovation projects, kitchen and bath remodels, and commercial spaces throughout Walton County and Okaloosa County. With Florida's ongoing construction boom, we've cleaned dozens of post-build properties and know exactly what it takes to get a newly built or renovated space truly ready to use.

Fine construction dust is one of the most stubborn cleaning challenges there is. It's light enough to stay airborne for hours and fine enough to work its way into carpet, grout lines, and HVAC vents. Grout haze on new tile can harden and become very difficult to remove if not addressed promptly. Post-construction cleaning requires the right equipment, the right products, and someone who knows what they're doing.

If you're a homeowner, builder, contractor, or property manager preparing a space for occupancy after construction or renovation, contact Erik to discuss the job.

What's Included

Post-Construction Cleaning Services

Dust & Debris Removal

Fine drywall dust, sawdust, and construction debris from all surfaces — floors, countertops, windowsills, shelving, and fixtures. We work methodically from top to bottom so settled dust doesn't land on already-cleaned surfaces.

Tile & Grout Haze Cleaning

New tile installations often leave a grout haze that looks cloudy or filmy. We clean new tile surfaces and address grout haze so floors and walls look the way they were meant to look.

Carpet Cleaning

Construction dust and fine particulates work deep into carpet fibers. We extract embedded dust and debris from carpets so they're clean and ready for move-in — not just vacuumed on the surface.

Hard Floor Cleaning

Hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, tile, and other hard floor surfaces cleaned of adhesive residue, dust, footprints, and construction-related soiling.

Window & Glass Cleaning

Construction dust and paint overspray on windows and glass surfaces. Interior window cleaning to remove construction film and leave glass clear.

Fixture & Surface Wipe-Down

Cabinets (interior and exterior), countertops, sinks, toilets, tubs, and all fixtures wiped down and cleaned. New fixtures often have protective film, stickers, and residue that need to be removed.

Who We Work With

New Builds, Renovations, and Commercial Spaces

New Home Construction

Builders and homeowners preparing a newly constructed home for move-in. We get the property ready so the day you pick up your keys is the day you can actually live there.

Renovation Projects

Kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, room additions, and full-home renovations. Renovation dust spreads far beyond the work area and needs a thorough cleanup once the work is done.

Commercial Spaces

Office buildouts, retail spaces, and commercial properties being prepared for opening. We can work around your schedule to get the space ready for business.

The Process

How Post-Construction Cleaning Works

1
Assessment
Erik reviews the scope of the project — square footage, types of surfaces, level of construction debris, and any specific concerns like grout haze or carpet soiling. This determines what's needed and how long the job will take.
2
Dust and Debris Removal
Starting from the top of each room and working down, all dust and construction debris is removed from surfaces before any wet cleaning begins. This prevents spreading dust around during cleaning.
3
Surface and Floor Cleaning
Hard surfaces, tile, grout, fixtures, and cabinets are cleaned. Carpet is extracted. Windows and glass are cleaned. The full space is addressed systematically.
4
Final Inspection
A walkthrough of the completed work to confirm everything meets the standard. If anything was missed or needs attention, it gets handled before the job is called complete.
Common Questions

Post-Construction Cleaning FAQ

When should I schedule post-construction cleaning?

As soon as the construction or renovation work is fully complete and contractors are done on site. You don't want workers tracking back through after cleaning. For new builds, coordinate with your builder so cleaning happens after all trades have finished but before move-in. The sooner grout haze and construction dust are addressed, the easier they are to remove.

What does post-construction cleaning include?

It includes removal of construction dust and debris from all surfaces, cleaning of hard floors and tile, carpet extraction, window and glass cleaning, fixture and cabinet wipe-downs, and a final walkthrough. Every job is a little different depending on what construction was done and what surfaces are present, so the specific scope is discussed when you contact us.

Do you clean new construction homes?

Yes. New construction homes need a thorough post-build clean before move-in. Drywall dust is everywhere, fixtures have protective film and stickers, cabinets have sawdust, and carpets may have construction debris embedded in them. We work with builders and homeowners to get newly built homes ready for occupancy.

Can you remove grout haze from new tile?

Yes. Grout haze is a common issue on newly tiled floors and walls. It's the cloudy or filmy residue left behind after grouting. We address grout haze as part of post-construction tile cleaning. It's best to get to it before it fully hardens, so contact us promptly after tile installation is complete.

How long does post-construction cleaning take?

It depends on the size of the space and the extent of the construction. A single bathroom renovation cleanup is much faster than a full new home build. When you contact us, provide the square footage and describe the work that was done so we can give you a realistic time estimate. Most residential post-construction jobs take a full day or more.
