Hillsborough, CA

Post-Construction Cleaning in Hillsborough

Hillsborough renovation runs deep — the town's housing stock is older estate homes, so projects tend to be whole-home remodels, additions, and kitchen and bath renovations where new work meets original hardwood, plaster, and tile. All of it leaves fine drywall dust, paint drips, adhesive residue, and debris that standard cleaning can't address. We use HEPA-filter equipment, surface-safe products for both new and original finishes, handle gate access at booking, and flag what needs contractor attention.

A Note on Surface Limitations

We're honest about what cleaning can and can't do:

  • Paint drips and splatters are gently reduced only when removal is safe and won't scratch or dull new finishes. Cured paint, grout haze, and permanent adhesive residue will be flagged before we proceed. If a safe method cannot resolve the issue, we recommend consulting your contractor.

  • Adhesive, tape, and sticker residue on tile or fixtures will be reduced when safe, non-damaging products can be used. If stronger solvents are needed, we recommend consulting your contractor first. Any permanently bonded residue will be marked and noted.

  • We do not move furniture over 10 lbs. Patios and balconies are not included unless added as an add-on. Drywall dust and fine debris are captured using sealed HEPA-filter vacuums. Surfaces are cleaned with mild dish soap, glass cleaner, and pH-neutral floor cleaners to protect newly installed finishes.

How It Works

1

Send Photos, Get Quote

Text us photos of the space — kitchen, bathrooms, worst-dusty areas. Construction cleans vary widely; photos let us quote accurately around your finishes and actual site condition.

2

Team Arrives with HEPA Equipment

Construction dust is fine and pervasive. We use sealed HEPA-filter vacuums before mopping so dust doesn't just move around. Surface-safe products protect both the new work and the original Hillsborough finishes around it.

3

We Flag What We Can't Fix

Permanently bonded residue, cured paint, or contractor damage will be documented and flagged — not silently skipped. You know exactly what we addressed and what needs contractor attention.

Why It's Different

HEPA Dust Removal

Construction dust is airborne and fine — regular vacuums recirculate it. We use sealed HEPA-filter equipment to actually capture it, then mop surfaces clean.

Surface-Safe Products

New finishes are delicate — and in Hillsborough's older homes, so are the original ones. We clean with mild dish soap, glass cleaner, and pH-neutral floor cleaners to protect counters, floors, and installations.

Honest About Limits

Permanently cured paint, bonded adhesive, or grout haze that requires a contractor — we flag it before touching it. No guessing, no damage to new surfaces.

Post-Construction Cleaning in Hillsborough

Hillsborough's housing stock is older estate homes, and renovation here usually means updating them rather than replacing them — whole-home remodels, kitchen and bath gut renovations, and additions that extend a house across its large lot. These projects leave behind fine drywall dust that settles on every surface, paint residue on new counters, and debris in cabinets and closets, often spread across a lot of square footage.

The mix of surfaces is what makes these cleans different: brand-new stone, tile, and cabinetry installed alongside original hardwood, plaster, and millwork the remodel was built around. We use pH-neutral cleaners and mild dish soap — not general-purpose commercial products that can dull either the new finishes or the old ones. If there's a surface you're especially concerned about, note it at booking.

The window between contractor clearance and occupancy or listing photography is typically 48 to 72 hours. Confirm contractor clearance before booking to avoid reschedule fees.

Hillsborough access note

Most sites here sit behind a gate or tall hedge on a quiet, winding lane with no street parking to speak of — everything stages inside the property. Confirm the gate code or call-box arrangement and where to park and load at booking. If the general contractor controls access during the closeout window, share that contact so we can coordinate entry and loading. We bring all equipment and supplies.

Why Amiga in Hillsborough

Post-construction cleaning is where honesty matters most. Hillsborough remodels put fresh finishes next to irreplaceable original ones — new stone counters beside decades-old hardwood, custom tile against original plaster — and both are easy to scratch or dull with the wrong products. We run the same HEPA-first process on every site: capture the fine drywall dust before mopping, clean with pH-neutral and surface-safe products, and never guess on residue that could damage a surface, new or old.

Pricing is upfront from photos. Because construction conditions vary so widely, we quote from the actual site rather than a generic range, and we confirm the number before we commit. When bonded paint, grout haze, or cured adhesive needs a contractor, we document and flag it — you get a clear line between what we handled and what still needs the builder.

Amiga is owner-operated and dispatches across all of Hillsborough and the Bay Area. We handle site-specific logistics directly — the gate or call-box, staging and loading inside the property where there's no street parking, and coordinating with the general contractor when they hold the gate — so the closeout window between contractor clearance and your walkthrough or listing photos doesn't slip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's different about post-construction cleaning vs. a deep clean?

Post-construction cleaning addresses what renovation leaves behind: fine drywall dust in vents and on every surface, paint drips, construction adhesive residue, and debris in cabinets and closets. We use HEPA-filter vacuums and surface-safe products designed for newly installed finishes. A standard deep clean doesn't account for these.

Does the Hillsborough home need to be empty?

Yes. The space should be clear of movers, contractors, and furniture before we arrive. Confirm clearance at booking. If the home isn't ready when we get there, we may need to reschedule or charge for the delay.

How do you access a gated Hillsborough site for post-construction cleaning?

Many Hillsborough homes sit behind a gate or tall hedge, set well back from a quiet, winding lane with no through traffic. Share the gate code or call-box arrangement, and where to park and stage equipment inside the property, at booking. If the general contractor controls access during closeout, give us that contact so we can coordinate entry and loading.

Will you remove all paint drips and construction residue?

We remove what's safe to remove. Paint drips and splatters are gently reduced only when we can do so without scratching or dulling finishes. Cured paint, grout haze, and permanently bonded adhesive will be flagged — we document what needs contractor attention rather than risk damaging your surfaces. In a Hillsborough remodel that often includes original hardwood, plaster, and tile the renovation was built around, and we treat those with the same caution as the new work.

How do you price post-construction cleans in Hillsborough?

Pricing starts at $500 for a 1 bed / 1 bath — this includes the bundled cabinet interior scope. It scales by bedroom and bathroom count, and whole-home estate remodels increase the estimate. Send photos and we'll quote accurately before you commit.
