What is actually involved in Construction and Remodel Cleaning?
The new construction cleaning crew's goal is to get the property ready for you to occupy. Typically we would clean the entire interior of the property, wipe down all surfaces, clean inside and outside of all cabinets and drawers, wipe down all horizontal and vertical surfaces such as shelves, etc. clean all glass inside and out including scraping stickers and paint off windows inside and out, removing stickers and construction debris such as drywall mud off fixtures such as bathroom fixtures, tubs, etc., cleaning all hard floors, vacuuming al carpeted areas, etc. etc. Usually the post construction cleaning crew would come and detail the property AFTER all the construction workers have left and just before you are moving in. Often we may have to work around a painter or other sub-contractors who are performing some last minute punch list items, and we are used to this!

Construction can be a very messy process. It is not an exact science. There are numerous sub contractors that come into the property being built and pay no attention to what others are doing. A contractor may be finishing construction inside the property that creates a tremendous amount of dust or other messes.

This problem even gets worse when a property is being remodeled. Columbine Cleaning Services often gets calls from owners who have just had their wood floors refinished, for example, and now there is DUST everywhere!  We are up to the challenge and will come in and take care of the necessary cleaning. Columbine Cleaning Services has worked with many Summit County contractors in satisfying their construction/remodeling ‘cleans’.

How can you minimize costs for Construction / Remodel Cleaning?
The first thing to do is to be sure the sub-contractor(s) know that you EXPECT them to clean up after themselves. If you are having your floors refinished ask your contractor to seal off the areas that are not being sanded with plastic. This will not totally eliminate the dust but it will help reduce the amount of dust in areas that are not being refinished.
