After-remodel cleanup problems we handle in Tinley 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 Tinley Park kitchens after renovation with HEPA vacuums and damp wiping, inside every cabinet and drawer and up to the vents.
Debris and dust on windows
Window tracks fill with grit during construction. We vacuum them and clean the glass inside.
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.
Tape residue and protective film
When the floor protection comes up, the tape lines often stay. We clean them off.
Dust inside new cabinets and drawers
Even closed cabinets fill with dust during a remodel. We vacuum and wipe every box, shelf, drawer and hinge before your dishes go in.
Cleanup before moving back in
We clean after the trades and before the boxes return, so nothing goes into a dusty drawer.
Inside new appliances
Ovens, dishwashers and refrigerators collect dust and packing debris. We clean them inside and remove any leftover foam or tape.
Dust in vents and returns
Dust drawn into the registers and return grilles blows back out when the heat or air comes on. We vacuum and wipe the covers and the openings we can reach.
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 pickupLeftover scraps, packaging and small debris are bagged and removed from the kitchen.
- HEPA vacuuming top to bottomWe vacuum from the top of the room down with HEPA machines to capture fine dust.
- Labels, adhesive and filmStickers, protective film and tape residue come off appliances, glass and fixtures.
- Damp wiping all surfacesOnce loose dust is captured, every surface gets a damp wipe to pick up the rest.
- Appliances, sink and windowsWe clean inside the new appliances and finish the sink, faucet and window glass.
- Final floor cleanWe finish with the floor, using a cleaner safe for the material.

Post-Renovation Cleaning questions from Tinley Park homeowners
Is post-construction cleaning worth it?
Construction dust is fine and keeps resettling, so a standard clean usually leaves a film behind. HEPA equipment and a systematic approach remove it for good.
Why does dust keep coming back?
Fine construction dust floats and resettles for days, and it hides in vents and cabinets. HEPA vacuuming and cleaning the returns stops the cycle.
Will you damage my new finishes?
We are careful with new surfaces; grit is the main risk, so we vacuum it off before any wiping.
Do you clean the HVAC vents?
We vacuum and wipe the vents and returns. Changing the furnace filter after a remodel is also a good idea.
Doesn't my contractor clean up?
Many renovation contracts include debris removal but not detailed cleaning. Check yours; if it's not listed, that's where we come in.
What happens to the old cabinets and debris in Tinley Park?
Hauler Homewood Disposal (708-479-9555); oversized bulk items $45 each. 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 Tinley Park?
It depends on the scope. Tinley Park's rule in short: Permit required before construction, alteration or repair; extensive remodeling needs a permit. We handle the permit when one is needed with Building Department (Community Development).
