Post Construction Cleaning in Montreal

Fresh & Clean staff member vacuuming construction dust during a post renovation cleaning

A finished job site always leaves behind more than just visible debris. We remove fine construction dust, protective film and stickers left on windows and appliances, and all the surfaces construction crews don't clean on their way out. What you get is a space that's actually ready to live in or hand over, not just cleared of the big stuff.

What's included

  • Full dusting, including high surfaces, mouldings and visible ducts
  • Removal of protective film and stickers from windows, doors and appliances
  • Floor cleaning, including dried paint, glue or plaster residue
  • Deep clean of the bathroom and kitchen
  • Interior window cleaning
  • Removal of fine debris and construction dust from cabinets and drawers
  • A turnkey space, ready for move in or listing

How a post construction clean works

  1. 1Assessing the job site. We look at the scope of the work (a partial renovation, a full project, or new construction) to determine the time and equipment needed, including industrial vacuums for fine dust.
  2. 2Deep cleaning from top to bottom. We start with ceilings, light fixtures, and high surfaces where dust settles, then work down to walls, windows, counters, and floors, removing protective film, stickers, and leftover caulking or paint residue.
  3. 3Final pass and inspection. Once the main surfaces are done, we go back over the details (corners, baseboards, window ledges, inside cabinets and appliances) and inspect the whole space before handing you the keys to something actually ready.

What affects the estimate

The total square footage of the job site and the number of rooms affected by the work are the biggest factor in the time needed. The scope of the project matters too, a redone kitchen isn't comparable to a full basement or a multi floor new build. The amount of fine dust and residue left by the trades varies a lot from one site to another, some contractors clean up a bit on their way out, others don't. Add ons like exterior window cleaning or floor washing after installation can also be added to the estimate.

Who it's for

This service is for homeowners wrapping up a renovation, as well as contractors and property managers who need a unit handed over turnkey. Whether it's a redone kitchen, a finished basement or a new build, we handle the last step that construction crews don't. We work just as well with contractors juggling several job sites at once as with homeowners tackling a single renovation, adjusting to whatever handover timeline each project needs.

Frequently asked questions

Is this different from a regular cleaning?

Yes, completely. A regular cleaning isn't built for fine construction dust, dried paint or plaster residue, or removing protective film from windows and appliances. This service is designed specifically for what a job site leaves behind.

How soon after the work is done should we schedule this?

Ideally once the trades are finished and the big debris and tools are cleared out. We can plan around your timeline, whether that's a listing date, a final inspection or a move in day.

Do you work with contractors or only homeowners?

Both. We work directly with homeowners finishing a renovation, and with contractors and property managers who need a unit ready to show or hand over to a client.

Can you clean while other trades are still on site?

We prefer to come in once the major work is finished, otherwise dust starts building back up while we're cleaning. If a few small details still need finishing, we can coordinate with you or your contractor to time our visit right.

What happens with the protective film on windows and new appliances?

We remove it completely, then clean surfaces thoroughly inside and out, cabinets and appliances included, so everything is genuinely ready to use the moment you move in.
