After-remodel cleanup problems we handle in Hanover Park

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 Hanover Park 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

In Hanover Park homes built before 1978, old paint may contain lead. Federal lead-safe rules make the renovation firm responsible for cleanup and cleaning verification, so ask your contractor whether that was done before general cleaning.

Dust on light fixtures and trim

Pendants, recessed trims, window sills, door casings and baseboards all hold dust. We clean each one by hand.

Debris and dust on windows

We clean the window glass and frames in the kitchen and remove any paint on the glass.

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.

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.

Grout haze on new tile

If the new tile looks dull, there is probably haze on it. It comes off with the right cleaner and a buffing pad.

Cleanup before moving back in

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

Tape residue and protective film

When the floor protection comes up, the tape lines often stay. We clean them off.

What we clean

  • Walk-through after the trades finishWe look at the finishes, materials and remaining labels or residue and confirm what is included.
  • Debris pickupLeftover scraps, packaging and small debris are bagged and removed from the kitchen.
  • Labels, adhesive and filmWe remove labels and glue from new appliances, sinks and windows.
  • Damp wiping all surfacesOnce loose dust is captured, every surface gets a damp wipe to pick up the rest.
  • Grout haze and spot cleanupHaze, paint specks and caulk smears are removed with products matched to each surface.
  • Appliances, sink and windowsAppliance interiors, the new sink and faucet, and the windows and tracks are cleaned.
  • Final floor cleanThe floor is vacuumed and cleaned last with a product suited to the new flooring.

Post-Renovation Cleaning questions from Hanover Park homeowners

Can you clean grout haze off new tile?
Yes, and we take care with natural stone, which acid-based haze removers can etch.
How much does post-renovation cleaning cost?
It depends on the size of the area, how much dust and residue there is and whether interiors and windows are included. We give a written, itemized estimate after seeing it.
Doesn't my contractor clean up?
A broom-clean leaves fine dust on every surface. Our cleaning is the detailed step after that.
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.
What does post-renovation cleaning include?
HEPA vacuuming and damp wiping of every surface, inside cabinets and drawers, vents and returns, light fixtures, appliances, windows, and removing labels, adhesive, paint specks and grout haze.
Can Hanover Park bulk pickup take my old appliance or cabinets?
Garbage hauler is Groot Industries (866-782-5161); page gives no bulk or appliance rules, call hauler or Village. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
Do you work in my part of Hanover Park?
