Post-Construction Cleaning in San Mateo
San Mateo 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 instead of 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 San Mateo and nearby Peninsula cities.
Scheduled after contractors and movers clear the site — typically within a 48–72 hr permit closeout window.
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 San Mateo 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 San Mateo
San Mateo sees consistent renovation activity — full-home remodels in Baywood or Northgate, ADU projects in residential backyards, and kitchen and bath updates in Hillsdale and Sugarloaf. Those projects often leave behind delicate new finishes covered in a layer of fine drywall dust and construction residue.
Post-construction timing usually follows permit closeout and final contractor walkthroughs. We schedule after the site is completely clear, typically in the 48–72 hour window before move-in, staging, or listing photography. Confirming contractor clearance before booking avoids reschedule fees and ensures our team can hit the whole space.
New countertops, engineered floors, and custom tile are standard in San Mateo remodels, so we use pH-neutral cleaners and mild dish soap to protect your investment. If there's a surface you're especially concerned about, note it at booking and we'll flag it in the plan.
San Mateo logistics note
Street parking is generally available in residential San Mateo, but downtown and tighter infill sites may need guest-parking instructions or garage access. We bring our own equipment and supplies; no utility hookup coordination is required from you.
What San Mateo Clients Say
"We finished a major remodel in Baywood and the dust was everywhere. Amiga brought HEPA vacuums, cleaned every cabinet and ledge, and was honest about what was bonded paint vs. just dust. The house was ready for the staging team the next day."
"Our ADU build wrapped and we needed it clean for a new tenant. They handled the drywall dust and new tile carefully, and they were upfront about the grout haze that still needed the contractor's attention."
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 San Mateo 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 San Mateo?
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.
