After-remodel cleanup problems we handle in Warrenville
Construction dust is finer than household dust and settles back down for days after a broom stirs it up. Our crew in Warrenville removes it properly: HEPA vacuuming first, then wiping every surface, inside the new cabinets, along the trim and in the vent registers.
Cleanup before moving back in
If you moved out for the remodel, we get the kitchen ready so you can unpack straight into clean cabinets.
Debris and dust on windows
We clean the window glass and frames in the kitchen and remove any paint on the glass.
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.
Inside new appliances
We open every appliance and clean out dust, packaging bits and tape from shipping.
Scratch-prone new surfaces
New stainless, glossy cabinet paint and polished stone scratch easily if wiped with grit on the cloth. We vacuum first and use clean microfiber.
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.
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.

Post-Renovation Cleaning questions from Warrenville homeowners
How much does post-renovation cleaning cost?
We price after a walk-through or photos. A kitchen-only cleanup and a whole-floor job are very different.
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.
Will you damage my new finishes?
New finishes get mild, neutral products and clean microfiber. No abrasive pads on stainless, stone or fresh paint.
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.
Do you remove stickers and protective film?
We take off labels and film and clean the glue off with products that don't scratch.
What happens to the old cabinets and debris in Warrenville?
Garbage hauler is Groot (630-892-9294). Bulk items over 50 lb: first item free, additional items 5 stickers 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 Warrenville?
It depends on the scope. Warrenville's rule in short: A permit is required for remodeling or renovation of a kitchen. We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department, Building Division.
