After-remodel cleanup problems we handle in Orland 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 Orland Park kitchens after renovation with HEPA vacuums and damp wiping, inside every cabinet and drawer and up to the vents.
Cleanup before moving back in
Before your dishes go back, the kitchen should be fully dust-free. We do the cleaning so move-in day is about unpacking.
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.
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.
Inside new appliances
We open every appliance and clean out dust, packaging bits and tape from shipping.
Tape residue and protective film
Sticky outlines where tape or paper was attached are cleaned off without damaging the surface below.
Dust on light fixtures and trim
Light fixtures and the tops of trim are easy to miss. We work from the ceiling down so nothing gets re-dusted.
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.

Post-Renovation Cleaning questions from Orland Park homeowners
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do you clean the HVAC vents?
We clean the register covers, return grilles and the openings we can reach. Full duct cleaning is a separate service.
What happens to the old cabinets and debris in Orland Park?
Hauler Waste Management; one bulk item per weekly pickup. 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 Orland Park?
It depends on the scope. Orland Park's rule in short: Permit needed for remodeling; application lists electrical and plumbing contractors. We handle the permit when one is needed with Development Services Department - Building Division.
