Post-construction cleaning in Toronto & the GTA.

Post-construction cleaning in Toronto and the GTA for fit-outs, renovations, and new builds. Post-construction cleanup is not one pass, so we price the phase you are actually in, whether that's between trades, before the walkthrough, or just before move-in. A fixed price per phase.

Post-construction phases

Rough, Final, and Touch-up cleaning, matched to your construction phase.

Three phases. Book the one your schedule needs.Rough clean keeps trades moving. Final clean gets every surface handover-ready. Touch-up clean is a light wipe-down right before the walkthrough or move-in. Book one, two, or all three.

Post-construction FAQ

Post-construction cleaning questions.

Which phase do I need?

Almost every project needs a Final clean. Add a Rough clean while trades are working, and a Touch-up clean if there's a gap before the walkthrough. See what each phase includes.

How is post-construction cleaning priced?

A fixed price per phase, based on square footage. Heavy dust, high-rise access, and timelines under 48 hours cost more. Get a free quote.

Do you work directly with general contractors?

Yes. We schedule around your closeout and deficiency list. See cleaning for general contractors.

Do you remove construction waste?

We gather loose debris into your designated disposal areas. Bins and hauling bulk waste off site stay with the contractor.
