Post-Construction / Renovation Cleaning in Roosevelt Island

Post-Construction / Renovation Cleaning for Roosevelt Island Homes

Whether it's a punch-list clean on a brand-new unit or a kitchen and bathroom redone in a 1980s Manhattan Park apartment, construction dust behaves the same way: it's finer than household dust, stays airborne for hours and resettles for days after one wipe. We clean in passes — bulk removal top-down through every room, a second pass once it's resettled, a detail pass to finish — with the floors done last each time. On the island's modern surfaces that final pass means glass squeegeed, stone cleaned with a pH-neutral product and steel polished.

Then the leftovers. Adhesive from the protective film on new counters and appliances, paint splatter on floors and fixtures, caulk smears on new tile, grout haze on a new bathroom floor — each removed with a product suited to the surface so nothing new is dulled or scratched. Cabinets and drawers are cleaned inside before anything goes in, vents and light fixtures cleared, window tracks and sills detailed, walls and baseboards wiped, and the kitchen and bathrooms sanitized to finish.

We schedule for the day the last trade leaves and move the slot if the work slips; owners finishing several new units can book them in a block. There's no charge for the tram or the F train — pricing is a flat figure from photos or a short video of the finished space, confirmed on a quick call, and identical to what we'd charge on the Upper East Side. Anything missed is re-cleaned free within 24 hours, including another pass if dust resettles beyond a light film.

Pricing is a flat rate confirmed before we arrive — use the instant estimator for a range in seconds. For everything this service covers and how we approach it, see our Post-Construction / Renovation Cleaning page, or read more about cleaning in Roosevelt Island.
