Post-construction cleaning in Albuquerque, NM
Final and detailed cleaning after construction or renovation, including dust removal, windows, floors, surfaces, and ready-to-use spaces.
After the build
The last step before you move in
Construction leaves a particular kind of mess: drywall dust that floats back onto surfaces, paint specks on glass, sticky residue on fixtures, and footprints from every trade that walked through. A post-construction clean is the final, detailed pass that turns a finished job into a space someone can actually use.
It is also the clean that is easy to forget until the job is nearly done.
Homeowners call us after a remodel, contractors and builders call before the walkthrough with a client, and owners call before opening a renovated space. We work from the top of the room down: vents, fixtures, and windows first, then surfaces, cabinets, and floors last.
Tell us what was built and what is still to come, and we will plan the visit to match. Mention any surfaces that need gentle handling, like new stone or fresh paint.

Who calls us after a build
Homeowners book this after a remodel, an addition, or a new build, so move-in day starts with a clean home. Contractors and builders book it for the final walkthrough, when the client will see the work.
It differs from a move-out clean, which assumes a lived-in home. A post-construction clean deals with fine dust, residue, and rough surfaces, and it works best once the trades are done and debris is hauled away.
Tell us your schedule and we will plan the timing with you.
Stucco dust is finer than you think
Stucco, drywall, and tile are common in Albuquerque builds, and cutting and sanding any of them makes fine dust that travels. In dry air it stays airborne a long time, then settles on every ledge, in every vent, and across window tracks.
Open doors and windows during a project let wind and desert grit in too, so the final clean is often dustier than the job itself suggests. New tile and grout lines need careful attention.

Questions
Post-Construction Cleaning questions
Do you work with contractors and builders directly?
Yes. We clean for homeowners, contractors, and builders. Contractors can arrange the clean ahead of a client walkthrough, so tell us your timeline and the scope of the build. We will plan the work around the schedule and the standard your client expects.
What should be finished before you arrive?
Cleaning works best after the messy trades are done: painting, flooring, tile, trim, and debris removal. If a few punch-list items are still open, tell us when you call so we can plan the order of work and avoid making a second mess.
How do I request an estimate?
Call (505) 364-0676 or send the form with the type of project, the size of the space, and your target date. Estimates are free. We will go over what the clean needs and give you a quote before any work begins.
