Post-construction cleaning is not a one-size-fits-all process. It involves multiple stages that systematically bring a newly constructed or renovated property from rough to refined. At Mid City Management, we offer comprehensive post-construction cleaning services broken down into three distinct stages to suit the needs of your project. Whether it's a residential renovation, a commercial build, or a retail fit-out, our systematic approach ensures every aspect of your property is handled effectively.

Rough Cleaning

The Rough Cleaning stage is the first step in the post-construction cleaning process, typically performed after the majority of the construction is complete but before any final finishes or inspections. During this phase, we tackle the bulk of construction debris and prepare the site for further work.

• Debris Removal: At this stage, our team focuses on removing larger items such as leftover construction materials, including drywall pieces, scrap wood, metal, packaging materials, and other general waste that’s left behind after construction activities.
• Sweeping and Pre-Vacuuming: We conduct an initial sweeping and vacuuming to remove larger dust particles and dirt from floors, ensuring a safer and clearer environment for contractors to complete finishing touches.
• Removal of Stickers and Labels: Stickers, labels, and protective films are often left on windows, doors, and fixtures during construction to protect them. In the rough cleaning stage, we remove these labels, ensuring no adhesive residue is left behind.
• Preparation for Further Work: This stage lays the foundation for detailed finishing and allows other contractors (such as those installing fixtures, flooring, or appliances) to continue their work in a cleaner environment, preventing debris from contaminating newly installed features.

Final Cleaning

The Final Cleaning stage is the most comprehensive step of the post-construction cleaning process. This phase occurs after all construction and installation work is completed. It focuses on deep, detailed cleaning to make the property move-in ready.

• Detailed Surface Cleaning: All surfaces are cleaned thoroughly, including walls, ceilings, baseboards, door frames, countertops, and cabinetry. We remove all construction dust, adhesive residue, and marks left from construction to ensure that every surface is spotless.
• Floor Care: During final cleaning, all flooring surfaces are treated according to their specific requirements. For hard floors, we sweep, mop, and polish them to ensure a pristine appearance, while carpets receive deep vacuuming or extraction to remove dust and allergens.
• Glass and Window Cleaning: We pay special attention to glass surfaces, such as windows, glass partitions, and mirrors, ensuring they are clean, streak-free, and free of dust, paint, and other residues. Clean windows and glass contribute to a bright, inviting environment.
• Fixture and Appliance Detailing: During this stage, we clean and polish all fixtures and appliances, including sinks, light fixtures, fans, and HVAC vents. We make sure everything is shining and free of fingerprints, construction dust, or other imperfections.
• Bathroom and Kitchen Sanitization: Kitchens and bathrooms are cleaned meticulously. This includes scrubbing sinks, countertops, and cabinetry, as well as sanitizing all surfaces. Restrooms receive extra attention to ensure toilets, sinks, mirrors, and other fixtures are hygienically cleaned and ready for use.
• Sanitization of High-Touch Areas: We sanitize all high-touch surfaces to reduce the spread of germs, including light switches, doorknobs, handrails, and countertops, ensuring the space is safe for everyone who enters.

Touch-Up Cleaning

The Touch-Up Cleaning stage is often performed a few days after the final cleaning. It’s designed to address any minor issues that may arise due to the natural settling of dust or additional light work that may have occurred post-cleaning.

• Dust Re-Settlement Removal: After construction, dust often resettles even after the initial cleaning. Our team returns to address areas where dust has accumulated, ensuring the property maintains its pristine condition.
• Spot Cleaning: We perform spot cleaning for areas that may need a little extra attention, such as smudges on windows or floors, or any areas that have experienced minor use since the final cleaning.
• Final Detailing: We also double-check and re-detail any surfaces, corners, and fixtures to ensure that nothing has been missed. This guarantees that your property looks as clean and polished as possible for move-in or final inspection.
