Final post construction cleaning
A final post construction clean is the last pass after the trades finish and before people move in. Southern Charm Cleaning removes construction dust from walls, ledges and vents, cleans windows and tracks, floors, fixtures and cabinets inside and out, and hauls off leftover packaging and debris, priced per job across Dallas and Fort Worth.
What does a final post construction clean include?
Fine construction dust comes off every surface it settled on: walls, ledges, door frames, vents and light fixtures. Windows and tracks are cleaned, stickers and overspray come off glass and fixtures, cabinets are wiped inside and out, and floors are cleaned for the finish they have. Leftover packaging and small debris get hauled off.

- Stickers and labels off fixtures and glass

- Floors cleaned for their finish
- Packaging and small debris hauled off
When should the final clean be scheduled?
After the last trade is done and the punch list is closed, and before the owner walkthrough or move in. Dust keeps falling while work goes on, so cleaning too early means cleaning twice. Give us the walkthrough date and we schedule the clean for the days just before it.
How is a post construction clean quoted?
Per job. We walk the space, or work from photos, the square footage and the kind of finishes, then send a written quote listing what gets cleaned. A finished out office suite, a kitchen remodel and a new home each get their own scope, so you only pay for the clean the job needs.
Who books post construction cleaning?
General contractors closing out a commercial finish out, remodelers handing a kitchen or bath back to the owner, builders getting a new home ready for the buyer walkthrough, and tenants who want a suite clean before furniture arrives. One text with the address and the date gets it started.

Questions
Questions about final post construction cleaning
Do you haul off construction debris?
Leftover packaging, scraps and small debris from the final clean get hauled off with the crew. Dumpster loads of demolition debris are a separate job, so tell us what is on site when you ask for a quote and we will say what is included.
Can you clean an office suite before the tenant moves in?
Yes. A finished out suite gets the same final clean as any other job: dust off every surface, glass, fixtures, cabinets and floors, then a last check before the keys change hands. Send the suite address and the move in date.
Who is responsible for post construction clean up?
Usually the general contractor, who schedules it as part of closing out the job. Rough cleaning during the build tends to stay with the trades, and a cleaning crew does the final pass before the walkthrough. Settle who books the final clean, and when, before the walkthrough date is set.
Do you clean new homes for builders?
Yes. New homes get a final clean before the buyer walkthrough: dust, windows and tracks, cabinets inside and out, fixtures, floors and the garage if you want it. Builders with several homes closing can schedule them together.
