Removing Dust After Every Surface Is Built

Post-construction cleaning for renovations, remodels, and new build-outs across Chicago, Illinois.

After a renovation or build-out finishes in Chicago, your space holds more than fresh materials and new fixtures. It holds layers of construction dust that settle into corners, window tracks, baseboards, and along every horizontal surface. That residue does not disappear on its own, and standard cleaning methods often push it around rather than removing it completely.

Genesis Commercial Cleaning Inc provides post-construction cleaning for residential and commercial projects across Chicago, addressing the dust, debris, and film left behind after contractors finish. We wipe down walls from ceiling to floor, clean baseboards in every room, deep clean bathrooms including grout and fixtures, wipe light fixtures and bulbs, and deep clean all flooring surfaces to remove tracked-in grit. Removal of bagged garbage and jobsite waste is included in the service. Construction materials such as drywall scraps, wood pieces, packaging, or leftover supplies are not part of the scope and should be removed before we arrive. Pricing depends on the condition of the space, square footage, and the level of residue present, with typical costs ranging from five hundred to seven hundred dollars for residential projects in Chicago.

What Changes Between Job Completion and Move-In

We begin by removing surface dust from walls using microfiber cloths and extension tools, working from the top down to avoid recontaminating lower areas. In Chicago spaces with new drywall or sanding work, this step removes the fine white film that clings to paint and trim. Baseboards are wiped clean of dust buildup, window sills are cleared, and door frames are spot-cleaned where fingerprints and smudges appear during the final stages of work.

After we finish, you will walk into rooms where surfaces feel smooth to the touch, floors no longer leave grit on your shoes, and light fixtures shine without a haze. Bathrooms will be scrubbed clean including tile grout, mirrors, and hardware, ready for immediate use without needing a second pass.

We focus on areas where dust collects unnoticed during construction, including the tops of door frames, around outlet covers, and along window tracks. If your project included painting, we carefully spot-clean around edges and trim without disturbing the finish. This service prepares your space for furnishing, occupancy, or final inspection, but does not include exterior window washing, carpet shampooing, or appliance interior cleaning unless arranged in advance.

Homeowners and project managers in Chicago often ask about timing, what to prepare beforehand, and how pricing is structured for spaces that vary widely in condition.

Questions That Come Up Before Booking

What needs to be cleared before you arrive?
All construction materials including drywall scraps, wood pieces, packaging, tools, and leftover supplies should be removed before we begin. We handle bagged garbage, dust removal, and surface cleaning once the site is clear of building debris.
How long does post-construction cleaning take?
Time depends on square footage and the amount of residue present. A typical residential space in Chicago takes four to six hours, while larger or heavily dusted areas may require a full day or more.
Why does pricing vary between projects?
We base pricing on the condition of the space, total square footage, and the level of dust or debris remaining after contractors leave. A light remodel produces less residue than a full gut renovation, and that difference affects both time and cost.
What happens if something is missed during the cleaning?
You can contact us within forty-eight hours of completion, and we will return to address any areas that did not meet the agreed scope. Clear communication at the time of quoting helps ensure we cover everything you need.
When should we schedule the cleaning?
Schedule your cleaning after all construction work is finished, final inspections are complete, and contractors have removed their materials. This allows us to clean thoroughly without interruption and prepares the space for occupancy or staging.
