After-remodel cleanup problems we handle in Hoffman Estates

A finished remodel isn't ready for dishes until the dust is out of the drawers, the protective film is off the stainless and the paint specks are gone from the floor. We do that final cleanup in Hoffman Estates homes with care for brand-new finishes that scratch easily.

Older home: possible lead in the dust

If walls with old paint were cut or sanded in a pre-1978 house, the dust may contain lead. Lead-safe cleanup and verification are the renovator's job under EPA rules; our cleaning uses HEPA vacuums and wet wiping, never dry sweeping.

Tape residue and protective film

Sticky outlines where tape or paper was attached are cleaned off without damaging the surface below.

Debris and dust on windows

Window tracks fill with grit during construction. We vacuum them and clean the glass inside.

Dust in vents and returns

If the HVAC ran during the work, the vent covers and returns are full of fine dust. We clean them so it doesn't keep circulating.

Fine drywall dust on every surface

Dry dusting just moves drywall dust into the air. We capture it with HEPA vacuums and finish with microfiber that holds it.

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

We remove paint spatter and caulk smudges from tile, glass and hardware, carefully and without harsh solvents on new finishes.

Dust inside new cabinets and drawers

Construction dust settles in drawer corners and on shelf pins. Each cabinet interior gets vacuumed and wiped.

Our cleaning checklist

  • Walk-through after the trades finishWe look at the finishes, materials and remaining labels or residue and confirm what is included.
  • Debris pickupWe clear packaging, small scraps and loose debris before cleaning starts.
  • Vents, returns and fixturesRegister covers, return grilles, light fixtures and outlet covers are cleaned.
  • Labels, adhesive and filmWe remove labels and glue from new appliances, sinks and windows.
  • Grout haze and spot cleanupWe clean grout film from tile and take off paint and adhesive spots.
  • 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.

Methods we use

Plastic razor blades and non-scratch padsPlastic scrapers and soft pads remove stuck-on spots safely.
pH-neutral cleaners for stone and new finishesMild, neutral cleaners that won't harm fresh sealers or finishes.
HEPA vacuumsVacuums with HEPA filters are the main tool for construction dust.
Grout haze removersProducts suited to the tile; acid-based ones only on tile that can take them, never on natural stone.
Microfiber clothsHold fine dust when damp and leave fewer streaks on stainless and glass.

Post-Renovation Cleaning questions from Hoffman Estates 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.
Is post-construction cleaning worth it?
Most homeowners find that one thorough post-renovation clean saves weeks of re-dusting.
Do you remove stickers and protective film?
We take off labels and film and clean the glue off with products that don't scratch.
Doesn't my contractor clean up?
Most contractors do a broom-clean: debris out and floors swept. Detailed cleaning of fine dust, interiors and residue is usually a separate job.
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 happens to the old cabinets and debris in Hoffman Estates?
Hauler Groot: appliance pickup is free but must be scheduled (847-734-6400); large/heavy items and debris over 1 cubic yard are billed per cubic yard. 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 Hoffman Estates?
It depends on the scope. Hoffman Estates's rule in short: Kitchen remodels go through the Residential Remodel permit: submit plans (1/4 inch scale) of existing and proposed kitchen showing plumbing fixtures, outlets, appliances and panel, plus a scope of work or contract. We handle the permit when one is needed with Development Services Department - Code Enforcement (Building Permits).
