Whether you’re wrapping up a home renovation, building out commercial space, or finishing a large-scale development, one thing is certain — construction leaves behind a mess. From fine dust in vents to debris scattered across floors, a property isn’t ready for occupancy until it’s professionally cleaned.

At Unique Cleanings, we provide specialized post-construction cleaning services throughout Prince George’s County (PG County), helping residential and commercial clients safely transition from jobsite to move-in ready.

What is Post-Construction Cleaning?

Post-construction cleaning is a detailed service designed to remove all dust, debris, and residue left behind after construction. It’s the final and essential step before the space is fully functional, safe, and presentable — whether you’re preparing for a final walkthrough, tenant turnover, or business grand opening.

Unlike routine janitorial services, post-construction cleaning involves:

  • Removing construction debris and packaging
  • Dusting every surface — from baseboards and windowsills to light fixtures and vents
  • Deep cleaning all flooring types
  • Cleaning smudges, paint splatter, and adhesives from windows and glass
  • Sanitizing kitchens, bathrooms, and shared spaces
  • Performing final touch-ups so the space looks polished and professional

We also offer multi-phase cleaning when needed — including rough, light, and final cleans — to keep your project clean throughout various construction stages.

Why It’s More Than Just “Cleaning Up”

Construction leaves more than just a visual mess — it can also create potential hazards:

  • Sharp objects like nails and glass fragments
  • Dust that affects indoor air quality
  • Sticky adhesives or construction residue on new finishes
  • Unsafe surfaces that need disinfecting before use

That’s why post-construction cleaning is not just cosmetic — it’s about creating a safe, healthy, and welcoming space. At Unique Cleanings, we use commercial-grade tools and trained crews to ensure your property meets the highest standards for cleanliness and safety.

Common Questions from Clients

Pricing is based on square footage, cleaning level, debris removal needs, and timing. We provide custom quotes to ensure fair and transparent pricing.
