Our Process
What Our Post-Construction Cleaning Covers
Debris Removal and Rough Cleaning
Large debris, leftover construction materials, and protective coverings come out first. Our crew clears wood scraps, drywall fragments, packaging, and any remaining construction waste from every room. We sweep and vacuum all surfaces to knock down the bulk of dust and particulate matter before moving into detail work. If a dumpster is still on site, we'll coordinate disposal of materials that can be safely removed. This rough cleaning phase sets up the deep cleaning that follows.
Dust and Surface Cleaning
Construction dust gets everywhere. It settles on every horizontal and vertical surface, inside cabinets, on light fixtures, and within HVAC vents. Our team performs systematic top-down dusting of all walls, ceilings, baseboards, door frames, window sills, and trim work. We wipe down all hard surfaces including countertops, shelving, built-in cabinetry (inside and out), and light fixtures. Ceiling fans, vents, and air returns get extra attention because trapped dust in those areas recirculates through the space for weeks after construction ends. We go over all surfaces with appropriate cleaners to remove adhesive residue, paint splatters, and construction film.
Floor Cleaning and Care
Different flooring types need different treatment after construction. Our post-construction cleaning service in Austin covers all flooring materials. Hardwood and tile floors are swept, mopped, and polished to remove scuff marks, grout haze, and adhesive residue. Carpet gets deep-vacuumed to pull embedded dust and debris from the fibers. Vinyl and laminate surfaces are cleaned with manufacturer-appropriate products to prevent damage. We pay close attention to grout lines in tiled areas; construction dust settles into grout and won't come out without professional-grade tools. The end result is flooring that looks the way it's supposed to, without cleaning damage.
Kitchen and Bathroom Deep Cleaning
Kitchens and bathrooms collect the most visible construction residue because of their many surfaces, fixtures, and appliances. In kitchens, we clean all appliance interiors and exteriors (including refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, and dishwashers), degrease and sanitize countertops and backsplashes, clean the interior and exterior of all cabinets and drawers, and polish sinks and faucets. In bathrooms, we scrub and sanitize toilets, showers, bathtubs, and sinks; clean tile and grout lines; polish all mirrors and glass surfaces; and detail every fixture to a clean finish. These rooms need to be spotless for inspections and for whoever's moving in.
Window and Glass Cleaning
Windows are often the last detail people notice, but they're the first thing that makes a space feel unfinished. Construction leaves glass surfaces covered in dust, smudges, paint overspray, and label adhesive. We clean all interior windows, glass doors, and mirrors, including tracks, frames, and sills. Clean glass lets natural light into the space and shows that the post-construction cleanup was done right.
Final Inspection and Touch-Ups
Before we call the job complete, our team walks through every room one more time. We check for missed spots, residual dust in corners and crevices, and any areas that need more attention. This final pass makes sure the space meets our standards and yours. For projects working toward a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) or Certificate of Occupancy (CO), our post-construction cleaning improves the property's readiness and presentation for inspection. Every surface, fixture, and system is cleaned and accessible so inspectors get a clear look at the finished work. Cleaning is one piece of what goes into passing. There are plenty of other factors involved. But we make sure it's never the thing holding you up. We've been doing this alongside Austin contractors and building teams for over three decades.

Our Process
Our Post-Construction Cleaning Process
We walk the construction site to assess the scope of work, flag any areas that need special attention, and coordinate timing with your project schedule. The rough clean removes all large debris, construction waste, and protective coverings. Floors are swept, surfaces are cleared, and the space is prepped for detail cleaning.
This is the most labor-intensive phase. Our team works through every room systematically, cleaning top to bottom: ceilings, walls, fixtures, cabinetry, appliances, windows, and floors. We match products and methods to each surface type. Dust comes out of HVAC vents and returns. Kitchens and bathrooms get extra attention. All glass surfaces are cleaned streak-free. This phase accounts for the majority of our time on site.
Our team does a detailed walk-through to catch anything that was missed during the deep clean. We check every room, every surface, every fixture. For properties going through TCO or CO inspections, we make sure the space is clean and presentable so cleanliness isn’t a question when the inspector shows up. Once we’re satisfied, we schedule a walk-through with you to confirm the space meets your expectations before we leave.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Post-Construction Cleaning
Post-construction cleaning includes debris removal, full-surface dusting (walls, ceilings, baseboards, fixtures), floor cleaning for all surface types, kitchen and bathroom deep cleaning, window and glass cleaning, cabinet interior and exterior cleaning, HVAC vent dusting, and a final inspection walk-through. We customize the checklist to your project.
It depends on the size of the space and the scope of the construction project. A standard three-bedroom home renovation typically takes one full day for a team of two to three cleaners. Larger commercial projects or new builds may run two to three days. We provide a time estimate after our initial assessment walk-through.
We handle construction dust, residue, and light debris as part of our service. Large construction materials (lumber, drywall sheets, fixtures, and heavy waste) should be removed by the construction crew before we arrive. If a dumpster is on site, we can coordinate disposal of smaller materials during the rough clean phase.
Yes. Post-construction cleaning is significantly more involved than a standard deep clean. Construction generates fine dust that penetrates every surface, including inside cabinets, behind appliances, and within HVAC systems. Our team uses specific techniques and products for adhesive residue, paint splatters, grout haze, and other construction-specific issues that a regular cleaning service wouldn't handle.
Our post-construction cleaning improves your property's readiness and overall presentation ahead of Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) and Certificate of Occupancy (CO) inspections. Every surface, fixture, and system gets cleaned and made accessible for the inspector's visit. A lot of factors beyond cleaning go into whether a property passes, but a thorough clean makes sure the space looks right and that cleanliness isn't what slows things down. We've been part of this process with Austin contractors for over 34 years.
We do. Personal Castles handles everything from single-family home renovations to large-scale commercial build-outs: offices, restaurants, retail spaces, and medical facilities throughout Austin and the surrounding area.
Yes. Personal Castles is fully licensed and insured. Our cleaning technicians are OSHA certified for safe work in construction environments, including handling dust, debris, and potentially hazardous materials.
