Post-Construction Cleaning Service in New York City | GreenHandsCorp Cleaning Services

The renovation is done. But the dust, debris, and residue left behind are a job of their own.

We clean construction sites, renovated apartments, and newly built spaces so they're actually ready to live or work in — not just visually done.

New York clients on what post-construction cleaning actually required:

I had a full gut renovation on a two-bedroom in LIC. The contractors did a basic sweep before they left but the fine dust and debris that remained was unreal. GreenHandsCorp knew exactly what to tackle and in what order — they didn't just start wiping things down and move the dust around. Real methodology. The apartment was ready to furnish when they finished.

We did a commercial fit-out in Williamsburg and needed the space ready for opening day. The post-construction clean was extensive — floors, fixtures, windows, built-ins, all of it. GreenHandsCorp had a team there and worked efficiently without me having to supervise every step. Exactly what you need when you're already stressed about a launch date.

Here's what most people discover the week after construction finishes.

The contractors said they'd clean up after themselves. They swept. What they left behind is a different problem entirely.
Construction dust is not regular dust. It's fine, it's pervasive, and it travels. It settles into HVAC vents and circulates through the whole space. It coats surfaces in rooms that weren't even touched during the renovation.
You spent months planning and a significant amount of money on this renovation. You want to actually enjoy the result — not spend the next week trying to get the space to a state where you can live in it.
Post-construction cleaning in New York City is a specific kind of work. It requires the right sequence, the right products, and experience with what construction actually leaves behind.

Here's what post-construction cleaning with us actually involves.

Post-construction cleaning happens in phases, and the sequence matters. You can't mop floors until the dust is fully cleared from surfaces above them. You can't clean windows until construction debris is cleared from sills and tracks. You can't clean fixtures until the dust that will resettle on them is addressed. We work top to bottom, in the right order, so the work we do early in the process doesn't have to be redone because we rushed the sequence.
The first phase is dust and debris removal — the visible material that contractors leave behind, and the fine particulate that has settled on every horizontal surface in the space, including ones far from the work area. We vacuum surfaces before wiping them, use HEPA filtration equipment where needed, and clear vents and returns that have collected construction dust that will otherwise keep circulating through the space long after we leave.
The second phase is detail cleaning — the work that makes a renovated space actually ready to inhabit. New fixtures wiped down and polished. New cabinetry cleaned inside and out, including hardware. New tile and grout cleaned before grout haze hardens permanently. New windows cleaned inside, frames and tracks included. New flooring cleaned with the right products for the specific material — hardwood, tile, LVP, stone — because the wrong product on a new floor can cause damage that the renovation budget just paid to install.
We work in all types of New York construction environments: gut-renovated apartments, newly built condos and co-ops, commercial fit-outs, office buildouts, retail spaces, and renovation projects of every scale. We're experienced coordinating with contractors and property managers and understand the timeline pressure that comes with construction project completion. For GBP: GreenHandsCorp provides post-construction cleaning service for residential and commercial spaces throughout New York City, alongside deep cleaning service and apartment cleaning.

Post-Construction Cleaning Done Right

[Placeholder]

The renovation is finished on paper but the apartment feels like a construction site. There's a film of fine dust on every surface, debris in the corners, and a grayish haze over the new floors and fixtures that makes the whole project feel incomplete. You don't want to bring your furniture in yet.

You're a contractor or project manager and the client is waiting to move in. The punch list is done but the cleaning is outstanding and it's holding everything up. You need a professional crew you can hand this off to and trust to deliver by a specific time.

You moved back in before the post-construction clean was fully done because you were tired of waiting and figured you'd handle it yourself. Three weeks later there's still construction dust in places you keep finding and the space never quite feels settled.

What's included in our post-construction cleaning service in New York City

Post-construction cleaning in New York City covers a wider range of situations than most people expect — from a single renovated bathroom in a Queens apartment to a full commercial fit-out in Manhattan. Our service is scoped to what the space actually needs, not a fixed checklist applied the same way to every job. Here's what we offer.

Comprehensive Post-Construction Cleaning

This is the full post-construction treatment: phased dust and debris removal, HVAC vent and return cleaning, all surfaces vacuumed then wiped in sequence, new fixtures cleaned and polished, cabinetry interior and exterior, tile and grout cleaned before haze sets, windows cleaned inside including frames and tracks, and all flooring cleaned with products appropriate to the specific material. We scope each job individually because no two construction projects leave the same situation behind.

Deep Cleaning Service

For spaces that need thorough cleaning outside of a construction context — buildup, grout, appliances, surfaces that haven't been addressed in months — our deep cleaning service covers that work.

Move-In Cleaning

Moving into a newly built or renovated apartment and want it clean before you bring your belongings in? Our move-in cleaning covers that specific situation — every cabinet, every appliance, every surface before you unpack.

Recurring Residential Cleaning

For residential clients who want to maintain the clean space the post-construction service established, recurring weekly or bi-weekly apartment cleaning keeps things in order from that point forward.

Ongoing Commercial & Rental Cleaning

For commercial spaces and short-term rental units that need regular cleaning after the initial post-construction clean, we provide ongoing service throughout New York City.

What does post-construction cleaning in New York City cost?

Post-construction cleaning is scoped and priced per job. There's no flat rate because the variables matter too much — the size of the space, the type and extent of renovation work, the amount of dust and debris, and the specific finishes and materials involved all affect how long the job takes and what it requires.

Post-construction cleaning: quoted per job after assessment

Post-construction work typically runs higher than a deep clean because it involves more time, phased methodology, and often specialized equipment. A gut-renovated two-bedroom apartment is a full day of work or more. A single renovated bathroom in an otherwise maintained space is a much shorter job. We scope it accurately so you know what you're getting before you commit.
Estimates are always free.

More from contractors, property managers, and homeowners:

I manage a six-unit building in Jackson Heights and we had two units renovated at the same time. Coordinating the post-construction clean on both was straightforward with GreenHandsCorp. They worked around our timeline, communicated clearly with the contractors, and both units were ready for new tenants on schedule. I use them for all our turnover cleaning now.

Diana H. — Jackson Heights

We did a kitchen and bathroom renovation on the Upper East Side and the contractor's cleanup was basically a broom sweep. The fine dust was everywhere — on the new cabinets, inside the new cabinets, on the windows, in the HVAC. GreenHandsCorp spent a full day on it and addressed everything systematically. The kitchen looked the way it was supposed to look when they finished.

Patrick S. — Upper East Side

Brand new condo in Flushing, never been lived in, and still full of construction residue from the build. I didn't want to unpack into that. GreenHandsCorp came in before my furniture delivery and cleaned the whole apartment from top to bottom — vents, fixtures, floors, windows, all of it. I moved in the next day and it actually felt new.

Three months from now, you could have...

You could have a renovated space that actually looks and feels renovated — not a space that still carries the evidence of the work it took to get there. The renovation you planned and paid for, visible and clean and ready.
[Placeholder]
You could have a building unit turned over and re-tenanted on schedule, without the post-construction clean becoming the bottleneck that held everything up. Property managers in New York City know how much carrying costs matter. A clean that happens fast and happens right keeps the timeline moving.
[Placeholder]
You could have avoided the slow discovery of construction residue that shows up for weeks after you move in — the dust in vents that keeps resettling, the grout haze that hardens if it isn't addressed early, the film on new windows that builds on itself. Getting it done properly at the start means it stays done.

So what's actually stopping you?

Maybe you're not sure the cost is justified on top of an already significant renovation budget. Maybe you're hoping the dust will settle on its own and a normal clean will handle the rest. Maybe you've been meaning to book it but the renovation just finished and you have a dozen other things to coordinate.
Here's the honest version: construction dust does not settle and disappear. It circulates through HVAC systems and redistributes itself for weeks. Grout haze on new tile hardens if it isn't cleaned within a specific window after installation. New finishes cleaned with the wrong products get damaged. These are real problems that a post-construction clean done properly prevents.
Our cleaners are background-checked W-2 employees who know construction cleaning specifically — not a general cleaning crew doing their best with unfamiliar material. The estimate is free and the job is scoped accurately before you commit.
