Post-Construction / Renovation Cleaning in Chelsea, Manhattan

Post-Construction / Renovation Cleaning for Chelsea Homes

An old row house after construction has fine dust in every profile of its moldings, on every tread of an original staircase, in the frames of old windows — and those surfaces can't be replaced. We remove it in passes — bulk first, a second after resettling, then detail — using soft brushes and a vacuum with a brush head on woodwork, a barely damp cloth on painted surfaces only, a gentle wipe and dry buff on old glass, and never a wet cloth on plaster, with the floors damp-mopped last each pass. A loft build-out is dust at every height, cleared with extension poles and a brush head on the brick. A tower refit is glass and stone, squeegeed and restored on the final pass.

Residue is treated surface by surface: protective-film adhesive lifted from new counters with a product suited to the material, paint splatter removed from old floors and hardware without scratching, caulk smears and grout haze cleared from new tile with non-abrasives. New cabinetry is cleaned inside; vents, fixtures and light fittings cleared; sills and tracks detailed; walls and baseboards wiped. The kitchen and bathrooms are sanitized to finish.

Chelsea projects usually run through a contractor, architect or designer, and we coordinate access and dates with them directly and confirm to you. For a whole house we send a team and clean floor by floor as the trades leave, at whatever hour suits. Pricing is a flat figure from photos or a short video of the finished work, confirmed on a quick call. Anything short of the standard is re-cleaned free within 24 hours, including a further pass if dust resettles beyond a light film.

Pricing is a flat rate confirmed before we arrive — use the instant estimator for a range in seconds. For everything this service covers and how we approach it, see our Post-Construction / Renovation Cleaning page, or read more about cleaning in Chelsea.
