After-remodel cleanup problems we handle in Glen Ellyn

When the contractor packs up, the new kitchen is still coated in fine drywall and sawdust, with stickers on the appliances and grout haze on the tile. We clean Glen Ellyn kitchens after renovation with HEPA vacuums and damp wiping, inside every cabinet and drawer and up to the vents.

Older home: possible lead in the dust

Remodels in older Glen Ellyn houses can disturb lead-based paint. Confirm with your renovation contractor that lead-safe cleanup and cleaning verification were completed; we then do the detailed cleaning with HEPA equipment.

Debris and dust on windows

Windows near a remodel get dusty glass, gritty tracks and paint specks. We clean the glass, sills and tracks.

Tape residue and protective film

Painter's tape and floor protection can leave adhesive behind. We remove it with products safe for the floor or finish.

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.

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.

Inside new appliances

We open every appliance and clean out dust, packaging bits and tape from shipping.

Cleanup before moving back in

We clean after the trades and before the boxes return, so nothing goes into a dusty drawer.

Dust in vents and returns

Registers and return grilles near the kitchen collect construction dust. We remove and clean the covers where possible.

Post-Renovation Cleaning questions from Glen Ellyn homeowners

How much does post-renovation cleaning cost?
The scope of the remodel and the amount of residue drive the price. You get a line-item estimate first.
When should the cleaning be scheduled?
Once the contractor is done and the floor protection is up. If any work remains, it's best to wait.
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.
Can you clean grout haze off new tile?

Yes. Sticker removal is part of every post-renovation clean.
