Post construction cleaning services are the final — and most critical — step between a completed renovation and a home you can actually live in. Construction dust contains silica particles, VOCs from paint and adhesives, and fine debris that settles into every surface, vent, and cabinet. Green Planet Cleaning's specialized post-construction team serves the Bay Area with HEPA-filtered equipment, eco-friendly cleaning agents, and a systematic room-by-room process that leaves your newly renovated home genuinely move-in ready.
Why Post-Construction Cleaning Requires Specialized Expertise
Standard house cleaning and post-construction cleaning are fundamentally different tasks. A regular clean assumes surfaces are already clean and focuses on maintenance. Post-construction cleaning starts with surfaces coated in drywall dust, paint overspray, adhesive residue, and silica particles — and must restore them to a pristine, livable condition without damaging new finishes.
In the Bay Area, renovation projects face unique challenges. Victorian and Edwardian homes have intricate millwork that traps construction dust. Modern condos have open floor plans where dust migrates freely. Marin County craftsman homes often have original hardwood floors that require pH-neutral cleaning agents. Our team trains specifically on post-construction protocols — not just general cleaning techniques.
The health risk is real: construction dust contains fine silica particles (from drywall and concrete), VOCs from fresh paint and adhesives, and fiberglass from insulation. HEPA filtration is not optional — it's essential. Our commercial-grade HEPA vacuums capture 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, ensuring the air quality in your renovated home is safe before you move in.

🏗️ Full Renovation
Complete gut-and-rebuild projects leave behind the most debris — drywall dust, adhesive residue, paint overspray, and construction chemicals. Our full post-renovation clean takes 6–12 hours and covers every surface from ceiling to subfloor.

"We just finished a full kitchen and bathroom renovation in our Noe Valley Victorian. Green Planet came in the day after the contractors left and completely transformed the space. The drywall dust was everywhere — inside every cabinet, on every surface. They spent 8 hours and left it absolutely spotless. The grout haze on our new tile was completely gone. Worth every penny."
