After the contractors leave, the real finishing work begins. Whether you’ve completed a home remodel in Stonebridge Ranch or built a new commercial property near the McKinney National Airport, the final phase requires specialized cleaning to transform a construction site into a move-in-ready, safe environment. E&R Cleaning Services offers the professional detail and expertise required for this critical final step.

Why You Need Professional Post-Construction Cleaning

Construction environments leave behind hazards and fine particles that standard cleaning services aren’t equipped to handle. Professional post-construction cleaning ensures health, safety, and a flawless presentation.

Construction Dust and Debris Can Affect Air Quality

The most persistent problem is the ultrafine dust generated by cutting drywall, sanding wood, and working with concrete or silica. This particulate matter settles everywhere—inside air ducts, light fixtures, cabinets, and porous surfaces. Without specialized equipment, this fine dust simply gets redistributed. Our service uses HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filtration vacuums to capture 99.97% of airborne particles, ensuring the air quality in your newly finished space is safe and clean before occupancy.

Deep Cleaning Ensures Your Property Is Safe and Ready to Use

Beyond health, the property must be presentable and safe for final inspections or occupancy. We focus on removing residues that can damage finishes over time, such as paint splatters, adhesive marks, and grout haze left on tile. This deep clean protects your investment and ensures every surface—from a new granite countertop to hardwood flooring—is ready to meet the highest standards of presentation.

What’s Included in Our Post-Construction Cleaning

Our service is a meticulous, top-to-bottom, multi-phase cleaning designed to eliminate every trace of the build.

Dust Removal from Walls, Vents, and Light Fixtures

Dust travels upward and settles into hard-to-reach places. Our detail team uses specific tools to perform a detailed “high dusting” sweep:

• Vents and Ducts: Vacuuming and wiping down all cold air returns and HVAC vents to prevent dust from recirculating.
• Light Fixtures: Disassembling and wiping down permanent light fixtures, ceiling fans, and recessed lighting trim.
• Walls and Ceilings: Vacuuming and damp-wiping walls, ensuring every surface is free of residual powder and fingerprints.

Floor Vacuuming, Mopping, and Stain Removal

Floors are the biggest challenge, often bearing scuffs, dried paint, and concrete residue.

• Residue Removal: We carefully scrape off minor paint drops, adhesive stickers, and construction tape without damaging the underlying surface.
• Hard Floors: Detailed vacuuming, followed by mopping to address grout haze and fine dust accumulation.
• Carpets: Industrial-strength, HEPA-filtered vacuuming is performed multiple times to draw out deeply embedded gypsum and sawdust.

Window and Trim Cleaning, Debris Disposal

We ensure all glass surfaces provide a clear view and all trim work is perfectly clean.

• Interior Glass: Streak-free cleaning of all interior windows, sliding glass doors, and French panes, including the frames and tracks.
• Trim and Millwork: Detailed cleaning of baseboards, window sills, door frames, and built-in shelving units.
• Minor Debris: Removal and proper bagging of small, residual construction debris (e.g., plastic wrap, screws, protective film pieces) left by the trades. Note: We do not handle large waste hauling (lumber, palettes, bulk drywall).

Benefits of Hiring a Local Cleaning Team

Choosing a local McKinney-based provider offers advantages over large, distant franchises.

Experienced with Residential and Commercial Projects

As a local team, we are acutely aware of the standards and high-end finishes common in McKinney’s residential and commercial properties. We know the difference between cleaning a new retail space in the Downtown Cultural District and a custom home in the TPC Craig Ranch neighborhood. This familiarity ensures we use the correct chemicals and tools for high-value surfaces, from granite and quartz to high-gloss cabinets.

Fast Turnaround with Flexible Scheduling

Construction deadlines are often fluid and unpredictable. We specialize in working around the final few trades (e.g., electricians or plumbers) and offering flexible scheduling, including nights and weekends, to meet your final closing or move-in date. We provide transparent communication and fast mobilization to ensure your project stays on track.

Preparing for Your First Cleaning

A small amount of preparation ensures our team can work efficiently and deliver the highest quality finish in the shortest amount of time.

Clear Large Debris Before Final Detail Cleaning

Our service is focused on fine detail cleaning, not construction debris hauling. Before we arrive, ensure that all major waste, scrap lumber, tools, and large pieces of protective sheeting have been removed by your general contractor or waste disposal service. This allows our team to focus immediately on the dust, smudges, and fine residues.

Schedule Service After Major Installations Are Complete

The ideal time to schedule post-construction cleaning is immediately after the punch list items are finished, and all heavy installation (flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, and painting) is complete. Once we finish, the space should be sealed off to prevent any re-entry of dust from ongoing exterior work.

FAQs

How long does post-construction cleaning take?

The duration is highly dependent on the size of the area (square footage) and the scope of the renovation. A light residential remodel might take 4–6 hours, while a full new-build home or commercial space can require 1–3 full days with a team of multiple technicians. We always provide a detailed time estimate after our initial site walk-through or consultation.

Do you handle dust removal from ceilings and walls?

Absolutely. Dusting is the most crucial part of post-construction cleanup, and it requires specialized techniques, which we call “high dusting.” We utilize extension poles, specialized microfiber dusters, and HEPA vacuums to thoroughly clean ceiling fans, exposed rafters, ledges, and all wall surfaces from top to bottom. This ensures all residual drywall and insulation dust is completely captured.
