Montara, CA
Post-Construction Cleaning in Montara
Montara renovation projects — hillside remodels, bluff-top view upgrades, and cottage expansions above the state beach — leave behind fine drywall dust, paint drips, adhesive residue, and site grit that standard cleaning can't address. We use HEPA-filter equipment, surface-safe products, and flag what needs contractor attention.
Included & Excluded
Deep-clean baseline scope
Cabinet interiors (bundled)
HEPA dust removal — walls, trim, vents, fixtures
All exposed surfaces after renovation
Duct and vent interior cleaning
Contractor-only residue removal
Exterior windows (unless separately quoted)
Bonded paint, grout haze, or finish-sensitive residue is flagged — not guessed at.
Dispatch & Coverage
Dispatches from South San Francisco, CA. Serves remodel and new-build handoff projects in Montara and across the Coastside.

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 Montara 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 Montara
Montara building work leans toward making the most of the hill: view-side window walls, second-story additions, and remodels that open older beach cottages toward the water. What they share at closeout is a specific mess — fine drywall dust on every surface, paint residue on new counters, and, because crews walk between a sandy town and a work site, abrasive grit tracked across brand-new floors.
That grit is why sequence matters here. We run sealed HEPA vacuums across floors, trim, and sills before anything wet touches a surface, so sand and dust are captured instead of dragged around under a mop. New finishes get pH-neutral products and mild dish soap, not general-purpose commercial chemicals that can dull a fresh surface. If there's a finish you're especially concerned about, note it at booking.
The window between contractor clearance and occupancy is typically 48 to 72 hours. Confirm contractor clearance before booking to avoid reschedule fees.
Montara logistics note
Hillside sites east of Highway 1 often have steep, short driveways already crowded with contractor vehicles, and beach-adjacent streets fill with visitor cars on sunny days. Confirm parking and loading access at booking — we bring all equipment and supplies.
Why Amiga in Montara
Post-construction cleaning is where honesty matters most. New view windows, fresh floors, and just-installed counters are easy to scratch or dull with the wrong products — or with grit that never got vacuumed up first. We run the same HEPA-first process on every Montara site: capture the fine dust and sand before mopping, clean with pH-neutral and surface-safe products, and never guess on residue that could damage a new surface.
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 from South San Francisco, a straight run down Highway 1 to Montara. We handle site logistics directly — steep hillside driveways, contractor-vehicle congestion, and loading access — so the closeout window between contractor clearance and your walkthrough 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 Montara 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.
Is a beach-town site any different to clean after construction?
Somewhat. Montara projects sit between the beach and the hillside, so crews track in sand and site grit alongside the usual drywall dust — and grit under a mop can scratch a brand-new floor. We vacuum with sealed HEPA equipment before anything wet touches the floors, so abrasive particles are captured first.
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.
How do you price post-construction cleans in Montara?
Pricing starts at $500 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.
