Renovating in Seattle? Here's exactly what a professional post-construction cleaning covers and what it starts at in 2026.
Quick Answer
A professional post-construction cleaning removes drywall dust, debris, paint splatter, and construction grime from every surface, fixture, and vent in a newly built or renovated home. In the Greater Seattle area, 2425cleaners.com prices post-construction cleaning from approximately $405 for a 1-bed/1-bath, $543 for a 2-bed/2-bath, and $685 for a 3-bed/2-bath home, with exact pricing depending on square footage and job condition.
What Does Post-Construction Cleaning Actually Cover?
Post-construction cleaning is far more intensive than a standard tidy-up. It's designed to erase every trace of a build or remodel, from fine drywall dust settled on baseboards to sticky adhesive residue left on new flooring. Crews wipe down walls, window sills, and light fixtures, vacuum and mop all flooring types, clean inside cabinets and drawers, remove painter's tape residue, and de-grime bathroom and kitchen surfaces down to the grout lines. Vents and returns get wiped to prevent dust from recirculating through the HVAC system once you move back in.
Because construction dust settles into every crack and crevice, this service typically happens in passes — a rough clean to clear bulk debris, followed by a final detail clean before move-in. Homeowners across Kirkland, Renton, and Bellevue often schedule both stages, especially after kitchen remodels or whole-home renovations where dust travels through every room, not just the one being worked on.
What Does It Cost in the Seattle Area?
Pricing depends heavily on square footage, the scope of construction, and how much dust and debris crews are working with. For a 1-bed/1-bath condo around 650 sq ft — common in neighborhoods like Capitol Hill or Ballard — post-construction cleaning starts around $405. A 2-bed/2-bath home near 1,200 sq ft, typical of many Redmond or Shoreline townhomes, starts around $543. Larger 3-bed/2-bath houses around 2,000 sq ft, like those found throughout Kent or Sammamish, start from approximately $685.
These figures are starting examples only, not fixed or guaranteed prices — actual cost varies with the size of the project, level of debris, number of rooms affected, and any special requests like interior window cleaning or appliance detailing. The most accurate way to get your exact number is through our instant booking page, which calculates a live quote in minutes, or by requesting a free custom quote directly from our team.
Why Hire Professionals Instead of DIY?
Construction dust is deceptively fine and gets pushed into HVAC systems, light fixtures, and even outlet covers — spots most homeowners don't think to check until dust resurfaces weeks later. 24 25 Cleaners uses HEPA-filtered vacuums, microfiber systems, and construction-grade degreasers to handle the residue that regular household cleaning products can't touch. Attempting a DIY post-construction clean often takes an entire weekend and still misses spots professionals catch immediately.
As a licensed, bonded, and insured team, 24 25 Cleaners also carries the right coverage for work in freshly renovated spaces, where surfaces like new hardwood, quartz countertops, or fresh paint need careful handling to avoid scratches or damage. This matters especially for contractors and property managers overseeing multiple units across the Washington service areas we cover.
Who Needs This Service Most?
Homeowners finishing a kitchen or bathroom remodel, contractors preparing a unit for final walkthrough, and real estate investors flipping properties throughout the Eastside all rely on post-construction cleaning before keys change hands. It's also a common request after ADU builds, which have become increasingly popular in Seattle backyards since zoning changes made them easier to permit. Whether it's a single condo in Bellevue or a full custom build in Issaquah, the goal is the same: a space that looks and feels brand new, not like it just survived a renovation.
24 25 Cleaners has built a reputation across the Greater Seattle area for handling these detailed jobs efficiently, and our reviews reflect the trust homeowners and contractors place in our post-construction crews. You can learn more about the specific scope of this service on our post-construction cleaning page.

What's the difference between post-construction cleaning and a regular deep clean?

It typically involves more detailed dust removal from vents, fixtures, and hard-to-reach surfaces.
Do I need to be present during a post-construction cleaning?
No, many clients across the Greater Seattle area schedule access through a lockbox, building manager, or contractor on-site. As a licensed, bonded, and insured company, 24 25 Cleaners can complete the job securely whether or not you're home.
How long does a post-construction cleaning take?
Time varies by square footage and the amount of debris, but most homes take a few hours to a full day. Larger renovations or new builds may require a rough clean followed by a final detail pass before move-in.
