Renovating in LA? Here's exactly what a professional post-construction cleaning covers, from dust removal to move-in-ready finish.
Quick Answer
A professional post-construction cleaning removes fine dust, debris, adhesive residue, and paint splatter from every surface after a remodel or new build, leaving the home move-in ready. In Los Angeles, 24 25 Cleaners' post-construction service starts around $355 for a 1-bed apartment, $560 for a 2-bed home, and $880 for a 3-bed house, with exact pricing depending on square footage, dirt level, and scope confirmed through a free quote or the instant booking page.
What Does Post-Construction Cleaning Actually Cover
Post-construction cleaning is a specialized deep clean designed for homes that just went through a remodel, ADU build, kitchen renovation, or full new construction — think projects common in Silver Lake bungalows, Downtown LA lofts, or new builds near Playa Vista. It goes far beyond a regular tidy-up. Crews remove drywall dust from every ledge, baseboard, and light fixture, wipe down windows and tracks coated in construction film, scrub paint drips off floors and hardware, and clear out adhesive residue left by tape, stickers, and protective plastic. Cabinets, closets, and drawers get wiped inside and out since sawdust settles everywhere during a build.
The goal is to make a freshly renovated space feel finished, not just built. That means detailed attention to vents and air returns (where drywall dust accumulates fastest), light switches, outlet covers, and any glass surfaces marked by overspray. For larger projects, like full kitchen remodels in Pasadena or bathroom renovations in Long Beach, teams often need extra passes on tile grout and fixtures where cement dust and grout haze cling stubbornly.
What's Included Room by Room
A thorough post-construction service treats kitchens and bathrooms as priority zones, since these rooms accumulate the most residue from cutting, sanding, and installation work. Expect detailed cleaning of countertops, cabinet exteriors and interiors, sinks, and newly installed fixtures, plus removal of any manufacturer stickers or protective coatings left on appliances. Bedrooms and living areas get baseboards, window sills, closet shelving, and floor detailing, whether that's hardwood, tile, or new carpet still holding fine dust in its fibers.
Bathrooms also get extra care around new tile installations, showers, and vanities, where grout haze and caulking residue are common after a remodel. Floors throughout the home are typically vacuumed and mopped at least twice, since construction dust resettles quickly after the first pass. For bigger properties, like a 3-bed, 2-bath house in Glendale or Manhattan Beach, this room-by-room approach is essential to catch dust hiding in less obvious spots like door frames and stair railings.
What Does Post-Construction Cleaning Cost in Los Angeles
Pricing depends heavily on square footage, how much dust and debris are left behind, and whether the job involves a full remodel or a smaller renovation. As a general starting guide for 2026, a 1-bed, 1-bath apartment around 650 sq ft starts near $405 for post-construction cleaning, a 2-bed, 2-bath home around 1,200 sq ft starts near $543, and a larger 3-bed, 2-bath house around 2,000 sq ft starts near $685. These are approximate starting examples based on a moderate condition home with no add-ons — homes with heavier dust, larger square footage, or additional detail work will run higher.
Because every renovation leaves behind a different mess, 24 25 Cleaners always recommends getting an exact number rather than relying on averages. You can see real-time, location-specific pricing on the instant booking page, or request a free custom quote if your project has unusual scope, like a full gut renovation or a multi-unit building. Prices are never fixed in advance — they reflect your home's actual size, condition, and the specific post-construction tasks needed to get it move-in ready.
Why Hire Professionals Instead of DIY
Construction dust is deceptively fine and gets into places a regular vacuum or wipe-down simply won't reach — inside vents, behind outlet covers, and settled on top of cabinets. DIY cleanup after a renovation often takes homeowners an entire weekend and still leaves residue that resurfaces days later as dust resettles. Professional crews come equipped with HEPA vacuums, microfiber systems, and the experience to know exactly where builders' dust and debris hide, which matters in humid coastal pockets of Orange County as much as it does in drier inland LA neighborhoods.
24 25 Cleaners has handled post-construction cleanups across everything from single-family remodels in the Los Angeles service area to newly built homes throughout Orange County. Because the company is licensed, bonded, and insured, homeowners and contractors alike can hand off the final cleaning stage without worrying about liability on a freshly finished space. You can read how past clients describe the results on the reviews page before booking your own service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does post-construction cleaning cost in Los Angeles?
Starting prices are approximately $355 for a 1-bed, 1-bath apartment, $560 for a 2-bed, 2-bath home, and $880 for a 3-bed, 2-bath house, though these figures are only starting examples. Exact pricing depends on square footage, dirt level, and project scope, so use the instant booking page or request a free quote for a precise number.
What's the difference between post-construction cleaning and deep cleaning?
Deep cleaning targets everyday buildup like grime, soap scum, and dust in a lived-in home, while post-construction cleaning is built specifically to remove drywall dust, paint splatter, adhesive residue, and debris left behind after a remodel or build. Post-construction jobs typically require more intensive detail work and specialized equipment like HEPA vacuums.
Do I need to remove furniture before post-construction cleaning?
It helps if the space is clear of major debris like leftover materials, tools, and packaging, but furniture doesn't need to be fully removed. The crew will clean around and underneath accessible furniture, though an empty or near-empty space allows for the most thorough dust removal.
How long does a post-construction cleaning take?
Timing depends on square footage and how much dust and residue are present, but a 1-bed apartment might take a few hours while a larger 3-bed house after a full remodel can take most of a day. Heavier renovation projects with more surfaces to detail will naturally take longer than lighter touch-ups.
Does 24 25 Cleaners serve areas outside Los Angeles for post-construction cleaning?
Yes, 24 25 Cleaners also serves Orange County alongside the Los Angeles area, covering newly built and renovated homes across both regions. Availability and exact pricing can be confirmed through the instant booking page or by calling either local number.
Can post-construction cleaning be scheduled the same day as my project finishes?
Same-day cleaning may be possible depending on availability, though it's priced individually rather than from a fixed list since post-construction jobs vary so much in scope. Call 424-484-0180 in Los Angeles or 949-541-9852 in Orange County to check same-day availability and get a quote.
