After-remodel cleanup problems we handle in Aurora
Construction dust is finer than household dust and settles back down for days after a broom stirs it up. Our crew in Aurora removes it properly: HEPA vacuuming first, then wiping every surface, inside the new cabinets, along the trim and in the vent registers.
Dust inside new cabinets and drawers
Even closed cabinets fill with dust during a remodel. We vacuum and wipe every box, shelf, drawer and hinge before your dishes go in.
Inside new appliances
New appliances still need a cleaning before first use. We wipe out the interiors, racks and gaskets.
Paint specks and caulk smears
Small paint drips on the floor, counters or glass are lifted with the right tool for each surface, without scratching.
Stickers and labels on new appliances
Peeling the film off stainless leaves a sticky residue. We take it off carefully and clean the surface along the grain.
Debris and dust on windows
We clean the window glass and frames in the kitchen and remove any paint on the glass.
Scratch-prone new surfaces
Construction dust is abrasive. We lift it off instead of rubbing it in, so new finishes keep their shine.
Fine drywall dust on every surface
Sanding joint compound leaves a powder that coats counters, cabinet tops and the floor and comes back after one wipe. We vacuum it with HEPA filtration first, then damp-wipe.

Post-Renovation Cleaning questions from Aurora homeowners
Doesn't my contractor clean up?
Many renovation contracts include debris removal but not detailed cleaning. Check yours; if it's not listed, that's where we come in.
Will you damage my new finishes?
We remove loose dust before wiping, use non-scratch tools and test products on hidden spots first.
How long does the cleaning take?
Most kitchens take a day or less. Heavy dust or several rooms add time.
When should the cleaning be scheduled?
After all trades are finished, including touch-up paint and the final punch list. Cleaning earlier means dust gets added back.
Do you remove stickers and protective film?
Yes, from appliances, windows, sinks and fixtures, along with the adhesive they leave.
Can Aurora bulk pickup take my old appliance or cabinets?
Appliances (refrigerators, stoves, water heaters) must be scheduled with hauler Groot, 630-892-9294, and carry one sticker; bulk items need stickers ($2.75 each) and bundles max 2 ft x 4 ft x 50 lb. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
Do I need a permit for post-renovation cleaning in Aurora?
It depends on the scope. Aurora's rule in short: Interior remodels, structural changes and interior plumbing always need a permit; electrical/mechanical may. We handle the permit when one is needed with Division of Building and Permits, City of Aurora.

Yes. Our crews work across Aurora, including Near Eastside, Tanner, Riddle Highlands, Palace Street — ZIP 60506, 60502, 60505, 60504, 60503 — and nearby Batavia, Warrenville, Naperville.
