Post-Construction / Renovation Cleaning in East Harlem

Post-Construction / Renovation Cleaning for East Harlem Homes

Between 96th and 125th the work ranges from a single bathroom redone in a tenement walk-up to a full gut of a floor in a mid-century building to punch-list cleaning in a brand-new tower unit. Construction dust behaves the same in all of them: it's finer than household dust, hangs in the air, and resettles for days after a single wipe. So we clean in passes — bulk removal top-down through every room, a second pass once it's resettled, then a detail pass — finishing the floors last each time so nothing lands on them afterwards.

In the older buildings that means clearing radiator covers, deep sills and painted-over tracks; in a new unit it's wiping down glass and stone and clearing dust from inside brand-new cabinets before anything goes into them. Everywhere, we remove the residue the trades leave — paint splatter, caulk smears, adhesive from protective film, grout haze on new tile — with the right product for each so nothing new gets marked. Vents, light fixtures and switch plates are cleared, walls and baseboards wiped, and the kitchen and bathrooms sanitized to finish.

Renovations here often run on tight budgets and slipping timelines, and we work with both: a flat figure quoted from a few photos or a short video of the finished space, no hourly meter, and a slot we move as the contractor's schedule does. Owners finishing several units can book them together. Nobody needs to be present, and anything missed is re-cleaned free within 24 hours — including another pass if dust settles beyond a light film.
