Comprehensive Post-Renovation Cleaning

Remove the Dust and Debris Standard House Cleaning Can’t Remove

Standard house cleaning methods do not adequately remove all of the dust and debris created during construction. Fine dust can fall onto surfaces throughout the entire home including: cabinets, baseboards, window sills, under appliances, above vents, and on top of new fixtures. Karen's Green Maids specializes in the detail that makes each room in a newly renovated space feel "done."

Homeowners, condominium residents, landlords, property managers, real estate agents, builders, interior designers and families relocating to a newly renovated home benefit from the comprehensive cleaning services provided by Karen's Green Maids. Many of these individuals are involved in renovating kitchens, basements, adding square footage to their existing homes, installing new flooring, painting and/or completing whole-house renovations.

Some examples of what may be included in our Post-Construction Cleaning services include:

  • Removal of dust from all accessible wall surfaces, trim, doors, ledges and other surfaces.

  • Vacuuming and mopping all floors (including edges).

  • Cleaning interior cabinets both inside and outside once they are emptied and accessible.

  • Cleaning countertops, sinks, faucets, fixtures and backsplashes.

  • Removing light paint splatters, stickers and surface residue as applicable.

  • Cleaning interior windows, glass doors and frames as well as window sills.

  • Sanitizing bathrooms following renovation or repair work.

  • Removing packaging materials, loose debris and non hazardous material waste.

  • Providing a deep clean of all areas of the home including kitchens, bedrooms, living areas, hallways and stairwells.

Each project is unique. For example, a highly detailed dust removal job may be required to remove dust from custom cabinetry and glasswork in a luxury Gold Coast condominium versus a straightforward final cleaning of a room-by-room basis prior to furniture delivery for a family residing in a Beverly single-family home. Regardless of your situation, we evaluate the scope of the work required and deliver a level of cleaning that meets your needs and timeframe.
