After-remodel cleanup problems we handle in Bolingbrook
Construction dust is finer than household dust and settles back down for days after a broom stirs it up. Our crew in Bolingbrook removes it properly: HEPA vacuuming first, then wiping every surface, inside the new cabinets, along the trim and in the vent registers.
Fine drywall dust on every surface
That white film on everything is gypsum dust from sanding. It takes several passes, starting at the top of the room, to get it off for good.
Inside new appliances
New appliances still need a cleaning before first use. We wipe out the interiors, racks and gaskets.
Cleanup before moving back in
If you moved out for the remodel, we get the kitchen ready so you can unpack straight into clean cabinets.
Dust in vents and returns
Dust drawn into the registers and return grilles blows back out when the heat or air comes on. We vacuum and wipe the covers and the openings we can reach.
Dust inside new cabinets and drawers
New boxes look clean until you run a finger along a shelf. We clean the inside of every cabinet and drawer, including the slides.
Grout haze on new tile
A cloudy film on fresh backsplash or floor tile is grout residue. We remove it with a cleaner suited to the tile once the grout has cured as directed.
Scratch-prone new surfaces
Construction dust is abrasive. We lift it off instead of rubbing it in, so new finishes keep their shine.

Post-Renovation Cleaning questions from Bolingbrook homeowners
Do you clean the HVAC vents?
We vacuum and wipe the vents and returns. Changing the furnace filter after a remodel is also a good idea.
How long does the cleaning take?
We give you a time estimate with the price.
Why does dust keep coming back?
Sweeping and dry dusting throw it back into the air. Capturing it with HEPA vacuums and damp cloths ends that.
Do you remove stickers and protective film?
We take off labels and film and clean the glue off with products that don't scratch.
Is post-construction cleaning worth it?
If you want to use the kitchen right away without dust in every drawer, yes. It also protects new finishes from being scratched by wiping grit.
