Post-Construction / Renovation Cleaning in Upper East Side

Post-Construction / Renovation Cleaning for Upper East Side Homes

Renovation dust in a pre-war apartment has more places to hide than anywhere else: the profiles of crown moldings, the tops of picture rails, radiator alcoves, deep window sills, the gaps in old parquet. It's also finer than household dust, so it hangs in the air and resettles for days. A single deep clean leaves the apartment looking finished for an evening and dusty again by breakfast. We work in passes instead — bulk dust removed top-down through every room, a second pass after it has resettled, then a detail pass — with floors done last each time.

Alongside the dust there's what the trades left behind: paint splatter on floors and fixtures, caulk smears on new tile, adhesive from protective film, grout haze dulling a brand-new bathroom. Each needs its own product applied carefully so the new work isn't marked. Cabinets and drawers are cleaned inside, vents and light fixtures cleared, window tracks and sills detailed, walls and baseboards wiped. The job finishes with a full sanitizing clean of the kitchen and bathrooms so the apartment is ready to live in, not just look at.

Because our office is at 79th and 3rd, we can be flexible when a renovation runs late — and Upper East Side renovations run late. We hold a slot and move it as the work does, and we'll clean finished rooms first if the project is completing in stages. Pricing is a flat figure from a few photos or a short video of the finished space, confirmed on a quick call. Anything missed is re-cleaned free within 24 hours, including a further pass if dust settles 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 Upper East Side.
