Post Construction Cleaning Services
From final dust to punch-list ready — professional post construction cleaning services for general contractors, developers, and property managers across Florida and New England.
What it is
Every day a finished space sits dirty is a day it can’t be inspected, photographed, or occupied. SBS provides post construction cleaning services that turn dusty job sites into move-in-ready buildings — coordinated around your punch list, your inspection dates, and your general contractor’s schedule. Since 1990, contractors and property managers across Florida and New England have trusted our crews to deliver the final clean that makes the whole project look finished.
New construction and renovations leave behind ultra-fine drywall dust, debris, adhesive residue, and smudges on every surface. Our construction cleanup crews work in phases — a rough clean between trades, a detailed final clean, and a touch-up punch-list clean — using industrial HEPA vacuums that remove the fine particulate ordinary cleaning misses, the kind that resettles for weeks if it isn’t removed properly the first time.
We’re fully insured and bonded, provide a certificate of insurance (COI) naming your firm before we step on site, and our supervisors walk the space with your team before sign-off. Whether it’s a single tenant build-out or a full commercial tower, we hit your handover date.
Post construction cleaning is typically priced per square foot, and rates vary with debris level, height and lift work, glass surface area, and how compressed the schedule is. A rough clean costs less per square foot than a detailed final clean. We provide a written, line-item quote within 24 hours of a walkthrough or plan review — no allowances, no surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before requesting a quote.
What are the 3 phases of post construction cleaning?
Phase 1 is the rough clean (debris and heavy dust between or after major trades). Phase 2 is the detailed final clean of every surface, floor, and fixture. Phase 3 is the touch-up or punch-list clean, timed to your inspection and occupancy date. We can perform all three or just the final clean.
How soon can you mobilize a crew?
For most projects we can schedule a walkthrough within 24–48 hours and mobilize a crew on your handover timeline, including nights and weekends to avoid disrupting other trades.
How much does post construction cleaning cost?
It’s usually priced per square foot and depends on debris level, height/lift work, glass area, and schedule. A rough clean costs less per square foot than a detailed final clean. We give you a written, line-item quote within 24 hours — no hidden allowances.
Can you provide a COI naming the general contractor and owner?
Yes. We carry full general liability and workers’ compensation insurance and provide a certificate of insurance naming your firm and the owner before we start on site.
Do you handle high dusting and lift work?
Yes — we detail ceilings, ductwork exteriors, and high fixtures and coordinate appropriate lift equipment for tall or hard-to-reach areas.
Do you clean between trades or only at the end?
Both. Many GCs use us for rough cleans between trades to keep the site safe and productive, then bring us back for the final and punch-list cleans.
Are you insured and bonded?
