Post-Construction Cleaning in Palo Alto
Palo Alto remodels and new builds leave behind fine drywall dust, paint drips, adhesive residue, and construction debris that standard cleaning can't address. We use HEPA-filter equipment, surface-safe products, and flag what needs contractor attention — not guessing and risking your new finishes.
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 across Palo Alto and the Bay Area.

Share site photos before booking to confirm fit, timeline, and final quote.
Before we arrive
The space must be completely clear — cabinets emptied, appliances accessible, all contractors and movers out. If the home isn't ready on arrival, we may need to reschedule or add time to the quote.

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 Palo Alto 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 Palo Alto
Palo Alto sees a consistent volume of full-home remodels and ADU builds — older ranch homes in Crescent Park and Professorville being updated for resale or extended-family use, newer infill projects near California Avenue, and Stanford-adjacent properties turning over with high-specification finishes that require careful handling.
Post-construction timing in Palo Alto tends to align with building permit closeout windows. We schedule after the general contractor walks the site and clears the space — typically a 48–72 hour window before the owner occupies or stages for photography. Confirming contractor clearance before booking prevents reschedule fees.
High-end finishes are common: quartzite counters, engineered hardwood, custom tile in bathrooms. We use pH-neutral cleaners and mild dish soap — not general-purpose commercial products that can dull new surfaces. If there's a finish you're especially concerned about, note it at booking.
Palo Alto logistics note
Street parking is generally available in Palo Alto residential neighborhoods. Permit zones vary — confirm parking details at booking for California Avenue corridor or downtown-adjacent sites. We bring our own equipment and supplies; no utility hookup coordination is required from you.
Why Amiga in Palo Alto
Palo Alto's remodel wave — updated ranch homes in Crescent Park and Professorville, ADU builds, infill projects near California Avenue — hands over spaces where fine drywall dust has settled on everything. Our written checklist adapts to each site: sealed HEPA vacuums capture the dust before we mop instead of pushing it around, room by room, the same way every job.
Pricing is upfront before we start. You send site photos, we quote from the actual condition, and we hold to that number — no surprise upcharges after the work is done. If the site isn't contractor-cleared on arrival, we tell you before adding time, not on the invoice.
Amiga is owner-operated, and Palo Alto handoffs often involve high-specification finishes — quartzite counters, engineered hardwood, custom tile. We protect them with pH-neutral products, flag bonded residue and grout haze for the contractor instead of guessing, and time the visit inside the 48–72 hour permit closeout window, with parking and access confirmed at booking.
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 Palo Alto home need to be empty?
Yes. The space should be clear of movers, contractors, and furniture before we arrive. If the home isn't ready when we get there, we may need to reschedule or charge for the delay. Clear cabinets, closets, and appliances before our arrival.
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. If you're finding heavy dust throughout the home after our visit, have your ducts inspected.
How do you price post-construction cleans in Palo Alto?
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.
