Post-Construction Cleaning in Los Altos

Los Altos remodels, kitchen and bathroom gut renovations, ADU additions, and whole-home updates leave behind fine drywall dust, paint drips, adhesive residue, and construction debris that standard cleaning cannot address. We use HEPA-filter equipment, surface-safe products, 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 your new Los Altos finishes.

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. We clean with mild dish soap, glass cleaner, and pH-neutral floor cleaners to protect your new 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 Los Altos

Los Altos sees steady renovation activity: ADU conversions in single-family neighborhoods, kitchen and bathroom remodels in older ranch homes, and larger whole-home updates before resale. These projects leave behind fine drywall dust that settles on every surface, paint residue on new counters, and debris in cabinets and closets.

Los Altos's high-end renovation market means new finishes are often premium: quartz counters, engineered hardwood, modern tile. We use pH-neutral cleaners and mild dish soap — not commercial general-purpose products that can dull new surfaces. If there's a finish you're especially concerned about, note it at booking.

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

Los Altos logistics note

Los Altos post-construction sites typically have accessible street parking in residential neighborhoods. For gated communities or properties with HOA access restrictions, confirm entry instructions at booking. We bring all equipment and supplies.

What Los Altos Clients Say

"We gut-renovated the kitchen and one bathroom in our Rex Manor house before listing. The drywall dust was everywhere — new quartz counter, inside every cabinet. Amiga brought HEPA equipment, cleaned methodically, and flagged a paint drip issue for the contractor. Listing photos looked great."

"Added an ADU in our backyard — contractor finished on a Friday and I needed it clean for photos on Monday. Amiga came in Saturday, handled the drywall dust, cleaned the new tile, and was upfront about the adhesive residue that needed the contractor. Exactly what I needed."

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 Los Altos 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.

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 new finishes. Cured paint, grout haze, and permanently bonded adhesive will be flagged — we document what needs contractor attention rather than risk damaging your new surfaces.

What about drywall dust in vents and air returns?

We clean exterior vent and return covers. We do not clean inside ductwork — that requires an HVAC specialist. Newer Los Altos construction should have clean ducts, but renovation projects can push dust into the system; have your ducts inspected if you're finding heavy dust throughout the home after our visit.

How do you price post-construction cleans in Los Altos?

Pricing starts at $300 for a 1 bed / 1 bath — this includes the bundled cabinet interior scope. It scales by bedroom and bathroom count. Heavy construction conditions increase the estimate. Send photos and we'll quote accurately before you commit.
