Post Construction Cleaning in Sherman Oaks, CA

It is the clean that happens after the trades are done and before anyone moves in or opens up. It targets fine construction dust, adhesive and paint spots, sticker and label residue on glass and appliances, and the grit left in tracks, vents, and fixtures. It is not debris hauling and it is not a normal house clean, and treating it like either one is why so many people end up doing it twice.

Because drywall dust hangs in the air. If you wipe every surface in one sweep, a good share of what you disturbed lands again over the next few hours and the house looks dusty by evening. We do a bulk pass, let the air settle, then a detail pass, and a final pass on jobs that need it. That sequence is the whole method, and we scope it honestly rather than promising one visit and returning twice.

No, that is a hauling job and it should be gone before we start. Offcuts, packaging, buckets, and old fixtures need to go with the contractor or into a dumpster. We can bag light leftover trash we find, but if the site still has piles in it, tell us at booking, because we would rather move the date than send a crew into a job that is not ready.

Yes, and those are among the more involved jobs here. A whole house remodel on the streets above Valley Vista Boulevard usually means multiple levels, a lot of new glass, and stairs that dust travels down all day. We work strictly top down, finishing a level before dropping to the next, so we are not cleaning the same floor twice.

Not if we know first. That describes a lot of the roads climbing off Beverly Glen Boulevard and Coldwater Canyon Avenue, where the pavement is narrow, parking is restricted, and the driveway is already taken by the dumpster or the contractor's truck. Tell us the situation at booking and we plan where the van sits and how the equipment gets in.

Yes, and it is common work on the flat lots north of Ventura Boulevard, where deep back yards leave room for a separate unit. A converted garage or a new small unit is a compact job but a detailed one: a new kitchen and bathroom, new floors, and a lot of stickers and label residue on windows and appliances.

That is a different job from an empty site and we scope it that way. Dust always migrates past the plastic into the rest of the house, so we clean the new work and then do a pass through the lived in rooms, the ones that end up with a film on shelves and picture frames. Say at booking that the house was occupied during the build.

Yes, and it matters more than people expect. New cabinet boxes collect a layer of sawdust and drywall dust during install, and hinge gaps and drawer runners hold it. If they are not done before the dishes go in, that dust comes back every time a drawer is opened.

Yes. New windows, appliances, sinks, tubs, and shower glass usually arrive with manufacturer labels and adhesive, and paint splatter, caulk smears, and glue spots are normal after installation. We remove them with the right product for the surface, taking care with coated glass, which can be permanently damaged by an aggressive blade.

Interior glass, frames, sills, and tracks are part of the job, and tracks are where the grit really collects on a new install. Exterior glass at ground level we can do. Upper floor exterior glass on a multi level hillside house needs a window company with the right access equipment, and we will say so rather than take the job.

We clean them with what the flooring calls for and, when the installer has left instructions, we follow those instead of our own habit. Newly finished hardwood, sealed tile, engineered wood, and polished concrete all take different treatment, and the wrong product on a new finish is an expensive mistake in the first week of its life.

We clean the vent and return grilles and the visible surfaces, which is where the settled dust is. Cleaning inside the ductwork is a separate trade with its own equipment. If a build ran with the system on and no filter, ducts often do need that service, and we will tell you if that is what we are seeing.

Yes, regularly. Contractors working in Sherman Oaks book us for the final clean before handover, sometimes on a rolling basis across several jobs. We can invoice the contractor directly, work to a handover deadline, and walk the site with your project manager at the end.

Yes. Tenant improvement work along the Ventura Boulevard corridor, whether a retail storefront, a salon, a studio, or an office suite, gets the same treatment as a residential build: bulk dust, then detail, then a final pass. Building management often has rules about hours and the service entrance, so send those to us with the booking.

We do those, and the building usually shapes the schedule more than the unit does. Expect a booked service elevator with pads, a vendor entrance rather than the lobby, and set working hours. Send us what the building requires and we schedule inside it.

More hours than people expect. A single bathroom remodel might be a half day. A gutted kitchen plus adjoining rooms is a day. A whole house remodel or a new build of any size runs several days across the passes. Your written estimate says how many passes and how long each takes, so the schedule is agreed before we start.

Yes, both. We need lights to see fine dust, which is easy to miss in daylight from a window, and we need water for the work. If utilities are not connected yet, tell us and we schedule for when they are rather than doing a partial job that has to be repeated.

Yes, and it is worth timing it deliberately. We ask what the deadline is, whether that is a walkthrough with the owner, a listing photographer, or an opening date, and we work back from it so the final pass lands as close to that date as possible instead of a week before more dust settles.

No. A deep clean is for a lived in home with household buildup: grease, soap scum, and years of grime. Post construction is a different material entirely, and it needs different products, different filtration on the vacuums, and a pass structure. Booking a deep clean for a post construction site is the most common mistake we see, and it usually ends with a second call.

We can, as line items. Concrete surfaces around a build hold a lot of dust, and on the hillside properties here the driveway and the front steps are the first thing anyone sees. Say whether you want the exterior hard surfaces in scope and we price them separately.

It depends on the square footage, how heavy the dust is, how many passes the site needs, and how finished the space is when we arrive. That is why every job gets a free written estimate, and photos or a walkthrough make it far more accurate. Text or call (818) 414-8012 with the details and we come back with a real figure. No card is needed to book.

Yes. Honest Maids is a family owned company based in Reseda, and every cleaner is our own employee, screened and trained by us. Nothing is subcontracted. If anything looks wrong after we leave, tell us and we come back to fix it.

Everything comes with us, including the vacuums with the filtration this work needs. Ordinary household vacuums push fine dust straight back into the air, which is why a post construction clean done with the wrong machine never looks finished. Products are chosen for the new surfaces so nothing gets damaged in its first week.

A few days is ideal, and more if you have a fixed handover or opening date, since these jobs run long and take a bigger crew. Construction schedules slip constantly, so tell us the target date early and text us when the trades are actually finished. We are staffed Monday to Saturday, eight in the morning to six in the evening.

Some settling after the first pass is normal, and that is exactly why the passes exist. If dust reappears after the final pass, from a ceiling void, a vent, or work someone came back to finish, tell us within seven days and we return. Every job carries the same guarantee.
