What Does Post-Construction Cleaning Cost in Seattle?
Post-construction cleaning is one of the more labor-intensive services we offer, and Seattle's building boom — from Ballard townhome infill to Capitol Hill condo remodels to new construction in Bellevue and Redmond — keeps this service in high demand. As a rough 2026 starting guide: a ~650 sq ft 1-bed/1-bath unit starts around $405, a ~1,200 sq ft 2-bed/2-bath home starts around $543, and a ~2,000 sq ft 3-bed/2-bath house starts around $685. These figures assume a moderate job with no unusual add-ons, and larger homes, heavy drywall dust, or multi-story layouts common in Queen Anne and Magnolia can push the price higher.
It's important to understand that none of these numbers are fixed or guaranteed — they're starting examples based on typical conditions. Your actual price depends on square footage, the property type, how much fine dust and debris was left behind, which neighborhood you're in, and any special requests like interior window cleaning or appliance detailing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does post-construction cleaning cost in Seattle in 2026?
Starting prices are approximately $405 for a 1-bed/1-bath apartment, $543 for a 2-bed/2-bath home, and $685 for a 3-bed/2-bath house.

What's included in a post-construction cleaning in Seattle?
It typically includes removal of construction dust and debris, wipe-down of all surfaces, cabinets, and baseboards, detailed window sill and track cleaning, floor scrubbing and vacuuming, bathroom and kitchen deep sanitizing, and removal of stickers or residue from fixtures and appliances. Heavier jobs may include light fixture cleaning and vent dusting.
Is post-construction cleaning more expensive than a regular deep clean?
Generally yes. For example, a 3-bed/2-bath house starts around $685 for post-construction versus around $548 for a standard deep clean, because construction leaves behind fine dust, adhesive residue, and debris that require more time and specialized techniques to remove safely.
Do I need post-construction cleaning after a small remodel or only new builds?
Both. Whether you finished a kitchen remodel in West Seattle or just closed on a brand-new build in Sammamish, any project involving drywall, sawdust, paint, or flooring work benefits from a professional post-construction clean before move-in or final walkthrough.
How long does a post-construction cleaning take in the Seattle area?
Timing varies with square footage and mess level, but a 1-bed/1-bath unit may take a few hours while a 2,000 sq ft house can take most of a day, sometimes requiring a small team to finish efficiently before your move-in date or inspection.
