Post-Construction Cleaning for Brooklyn Renovations and New Builds
The contractor's final sweep and a home you can actually live in are two different things. When a Brooklyn renovation wraps, a fine layer of plaster and drywall dust sits on every horizontal surface, inside every cabinet, on top of every door, and in the tracks of every window. There is grout haze on the new tile, adhesive on the new floor, stickers on the new appliances, and paint specks on the glass. Post-construction cleaning is the step that turns a job site back into a home.
Brooklyn projects have their own signature. A brownstone gut renovation in Bed-Stuy or Crown Heights releases a century of plaster and horsehair dust that gets into rooms that were never touched. A loft buildout in Greenpoint leaves brick grit and sawdust in the exposed joists. A kitchen remodel in a Park Slope co-op has to be cleaned before the building's final inspection and before the neighbors run out of patience. New condo towers in Downtown Brooklyn and Williamsburg hand over sponsor units with protective film and construction residue on everything.
The method matters. Construction dust cannot be wiped straight off or it turns to paste and streaks. We vacuum first, from the ceiling down, then wipe every surface with damp microfiber, then come back for a second pass once airborne dust has settled. Radiators, vents, light fixtures, cabinet interiors, closet shelves, window tracks, and baseboards are all included, and we finish with the floors so nothing gets tracked back over them.
We work with homeowners, general contractors, and property managers. For a homeowner that means cleaning after the last trade leaves and before the furniture comes back. For a contractor it means a reliable final clean before the client walk-through or the closing, on the day you need it. For a landlord it means a renovated unit that is ready to photograph and show.
Pricing depends on the size of the project rather than the size of the apartment. Expect $200 to $350 for a renovated bathroom, $300 to $450 for a remodeled kitchen, and anywhere from $450 (one-bedroom) to $900 and up (three or more bedrooms) for a full gut renovation. Send photos or a walkthrough video and we will quote it accurately.

Timing a Post-Construction Clean in Brooklyn
1After the Last Trade Is Out
Painters, floor finishers, and electricians each leave dust behind. Once the final one is done, we clean everything, not just the room they worked in.
2Before the Client or Board Walk-Through
Contractors and co-op boards see defects better on clean surfaces. A finished clean makes the punch list shorter and the sign-off faster.
3Sponsor Unit Handover
New-build condos arrive with film, stickers, and haze. We strip the residue and clean the unit before you move in or before your buyer does.
4Renovated Rental Turnover
Landlords renovating between tenants get a unit that photographs well and shows clean the same week the work ends.
Keep the Renovation Looking New
Once the dust is gone, a recurring schedule keeps your updated Brooklyn home that way
Weekly
For full households, pets, roommates, and anyone who entertains
15% OFFBi-Weekly
The rhythm most New York apartments settle into
10% OFFMonthly
A reset for studios, one-bedrooms, and tidy solo households
Quarterly
A seasonal deep clean four times a year, radiator dust included.
Nobody in this city has spare hours for scrubbing. Between the commute, late nights at work, and weekends that fill up on their own, the apartment gets pushed down the list. A standing visit takes it off the list entirely. Choose weekly, every other week, or monthly, and we hold the slot for you. Traveling or hosting on a different day? Move the visit with a day's notice at no charge.

Post-Construction Cleaning BrooklynBrooklyn Post-Construction Cleaning Questions
After the trades are done and before the walk-through. A clean space makes real defects easy to spot, and any fixes that follow are minor enough for a quick touch-up.
Yes. Haze on new tile, adhesive from protective film, and label residue on appliances and glass are all part of a post-construction clean. Cured paint on glass is scraped carefully where the surface allows it.
All three. Renovation dust collects heaviest in tracks, on radiator fins, and inside vent covers, and those are the places that keep releasing it afterward if they are skipped.
We clean the renovated rooms first with the doors closed, then work outward through the rest of the home, because dust has usually already migrated. Clean in the wrong order and it just comes back.
Regularly. We can invoice the business, work to a site schedule, coordinate with the super or freight elevator, and return for a final polish after the last inspection.
Figure $200 to $350 after a bathroom renovation and $300 to $450 after a kitchen remodel; a full gut renovation starts at $450 for a one-bedroom. Larger and multi-floor brownstone projects are quoted from photos or a site visit.
