New Construction Cleaning Checklist: What to Expect
A newly built home needs more than a standard cleaning before handover. Construction dust, paint overspray, adhesive residue and debris settle into every corner — vents, light fixtures, cabinet interiors — in ways everyday cleaning doesn't reach. Here's what our process actually covers.
Before We Start
We coordinate directly with your contractor or site supervisor before scheduling the job, so cleaning falls in line with your project timeline — not around it. That means confirming access, checking that other trades are finished, and scheduling around your handover date.
Our Checklist
Dust and debris removal from every surface
Floor detailing (sweep, vacuum, mop/polish depending on material)
Window and glass cleaning, inside and out
Kitchen and bathroom detail cleaning (cabinets, counters, fixtures)
Baseboards, trim, and light fixtures
Final walkthrough against the written checklist
Signed handover
What Homeowners and Contractors Often Ask
How long does it take?
It depends on the size of the home, but most new construction cleanings are completed in a single day.
Do I need to be there?
No — we can coordinate access and keys directly with you or your site supervisor. There's no need to be on-site for the cleaning itself.
What if something looks off during the walkthrough?
We fix it against the checklist on the spot. The job isn't considered handed over until you've signed off on the final walkthrough.
