After-remodel cleanup problems we handle in Schaumburg

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 Schaumburg 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 Schaumburg 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.

Tape residue and protective film

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

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.

Debris and dust on windows

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

Dust inside new cabinets and drawers

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

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.

Paint specks and caulk smears

Small paint drips on the floor, counters or glass are lifted with the right tool for each surface, without scratching.

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 Schaumburg homeowners

Do you clean the HVAC vents?
Yes for vent covers and returns. If a lot of dust got into the ductwork, ask about duct cleaning.
How long does the cleaning take?
Usually one visit for a kitchen, depending on its size, how much dust there is and the extras included.
Doesn't my contractor clean up?
A broom-clean leaves fine dust on every surface. Our cleaning is the detailed step after that.
Can you clean grout haze off new tile?
Yes, once the grout has cured as directed. We pick a cleaner based on the tile; stone gets a stone-safe product.
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.
Can you do post-renovation cleaning in a Schaumburg condo?
Associations usually set rules for work hours, elevators, deliveries and insurance, and many require approval for plumbing, electrical or structural changes. We provide the certificate of insurance and follow the building's rules.
