Multi-Phase Construction Cleaning

Most Calgary builds and renovations need more than one pass. We match the cleaning to the stage of your project so every trade hands off into a cleaner space.

Rough Clean

During the build, after major trades

Bulk debris cleared and the worst of the dust knocked down so finishing trades can work in a cleaner space.

Final Clean

Before handover or move-in

The detailed pass: HEPA vacuuming, fine drywall-dust removal, windows, fixtures, and full floor detailing.

Touch-Up Clean

Optional, before client walk-through

A light final touch on larger commercial fit-outs so the space is spotless the moment your client arrives.

Why Drywall Dust Needs Specialist Cleaning

Drywall dust is far finer than household dust. It drifts well beyond the room being worked on and settles into window tracks, HVAC vents, the tops of door frames, baseboards, and the insides of cabinets. A standard wipe-down just sends it airborne again, so it resettles within hours.

We work top-to-bottom with HEPA-filtered vacuums so the fine particulate is captured and removed rather than redistributed. In Calgary's dry climate, with chinook winds pulling air through a space, that fine dust stays suspended longer, which makes proper containment and filtration matter even more here than in more humid regions.

Renovation clean vs deep clean

A deep clean tackles months of everyday buildup in a lived-in home. Post-construction cleaning is a different job: it is built around fine-particulate removal, adhesive and paint cleanup, and getting brand-new finishes detailed without scratching them. If your renovation is finished and you are moving in, you may also want a move-in clean to follow.

What Drives the Cost

Post-construction cleaning is custom-quoted because every site is different. Here is what we look at to give you an honest, itemized price before any work starts.

Size & build stage

Total square footage and whether you need a rough clean, a final clean, or both passes.

Dust & debris level

How much fine particulate and leftover material the trades left behind across the space.

Finish detailing

Number of windows, fixtures, cabinets, and floor types that need individual detailing.

Residential vs commercial

Commercial fit-outs, clinics, and offices often carry stricter handover and access requirements.

Post-Construction Cleaning Questions

Everything Calgary homeowners and businesses ask before booking a renovation or new-build clean.

How much does post-construction cleaning cost in Calgary?+
Post-construction cleaning is custom-quoted rather than flat-rate because no two job sites are the same. Cost is driven by total square footage, how many cleaning phases you need (rough clean versus final clean versus both), the amount of drywall dust and debris left behind, the number of windows and light fixtures, the type and condition of flooring, and whether it is a residential or commercial space. Send us the details through our quote form and we will give you a clear, itemized price before any work begins. We never advertise a number we cannot honour once we see the site.
What is the difference between a rough clean and a final clean?+
A rough clean happens partway through a build or renovation, usually after drywall and major trades are done but before paint and finishes. It clears bulk debris and the worst of the dust so finishing trades can work in a cleaner space. The final clean is the detailed pass right before handover or move-in: every surface wiped, fine drywall dust removed from ledges and vents, windows and tracks cleaned, fixtures polished, and floors fully detailed. Many Calgary projects benefit from both, and some larger commercial fit-outs add a third light touch-up before the client walks through.
Why is drywall dust such a problem after renovations?+
Drywall dust is extremely fine, which means it travels far beyond the room being worked on and settles into everything: window tracks, baseboards, HVAC vents, light fixtures, the tops of door frames, and inside cabinets. A regular wipe-down just pushes it around and sends it airborne again. We use HEPA-filtered vacuums and a top-down method so the fine particulate is captured and removed rather than redistributed. With Calgary's dry climate and chinook winds, that fine dust stays suspended longer, so proper containment and filtration matter even more here.
Do you handle both residential and commercial post-construction jobs?+
Yes. We clean after home renovations, basement developments, new builds, and additions, and we also handle commercial work such as office build-outs, tenant improvements, retail fit-outs, and clinic or medical renovations. We are IPAC-certified and $5M insured, which matters for healthcare and corporate spaces with strict handover standards. Commercial jobs are scheduled around your trades and possession dates so the space is ready for occupancy on time.
Do you remove construction debris and garbage?+
Our focus is the cleaning itself: fine-particulate removal, surface detailing, and getting the space ready for occupancy. We will gather loose debris, sweep up leftover material, and bag small waste as part of the clean. Large debris removal, bin rental, and disposal of major construction waste are usually handled by your contractor or a dedicated haul-away service. Tell us the situation in your quote request and we will confirm exactly what is included so there are no surprises.
When should I schedule the final clean?+
Book the final clean for after all trades are finished and major debris is out, but before furniture, staging, or move-in. That gives us clean, empty surfaces to detail and means the dust we remove will not be replaced by another round of sanding or painting. For Calgary projects we recommend reaching out a week or two ahead during busy renovation seasons, since possession and handover dates tend to cluster. Same-week availability is often possible when schedules allow.
What does a final post-construction clean actually include?+
A final clean typically covers HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces and floors, removal of fine drywall dust from ledges, baseboards, vents, and door frames, cleaning interior windows, sills, and tracks, wiping inside and outside cabinets and drawers, degreasing and detailing the kitchen and any appliances, full bathroom detailing including grout and fixtures, polishing mirrors and hardware, removing stickers, labels, and adhesive residue, spot-cleaning paint splatter, and a final detailed pass on every floor type. Because scope varies by project, your quote lists exactly what is included for your space.
