The crew packs up and the project is finally done, but the dust is not. Renovation dust is fine enough to hang in the air for days and settle on everything twice. A post-renovation clean pulls the drywall and sawdust out of a lived-in home so you can actually enjoy the new space.
A remodel makes a specific kind of mess. Cutting drywall, sanding, and running a saw throws off dust so fine it behaves more like smoke than dirt. It drifts from room to room, slips past the plastic sheeting, and keeps drifting after the tools are put away. You wipe a counter, and by the next morning there is a fresh gray film on it again.
That is because the dust never fully settled the first time. It collects on the tops of cabinets, on trim and window ledges, on ceiling fan blades, and along the top of every door casing, all the high flat spots you never look at. Then a door opens or the HVAC kicks on, and it lifts off and resettles somewhere lower. Dry-dusting just relaunches it. Left alone, a lot of it gets pulled into the return and pushed back out through the vents.
A post-renovation clean has to work from the top down and damp, not dry. We start high and come down so nothing falls onto a surface we already finished. Every hard surface gets damp-wiped so the dust binds to the cloth instead of scattering. Floors, corners, and upholstery get a HEPA vacuum. We clean after the debris is cleared, so once the leftover materials and trash are out, we handle the fine dust the build left behind.
This clean is built for a lived-in home after a partial remodel. A post-renovation deep clean starts at $180, depending on the size and how much dust the project left. For a full gut or a brand-new build, our post-construction cleaning is the right service.
There are a lot of kitchen and bathroom remodels up here, especially in the older, established parts of town. A 1990s home near Historic Roswell or one of the original Alpharetta neighborhoods gets a kitchen opened up or a primary bath redone, and the fine dust settles into a house that is already full of furniture, rugs, and everyday life. There is nowhere for it to hide that is not also a surface you use.
That is different from a brand-new Forsyth County build, where the house is empty and every surface is fair game. In a lived-in remodel we work around your things, protect what needs protecting, and focus on the dust reservoirs the project created without disturbing the rest of the home. It is careful, detailed work, and it is what makes a finished remodel finally feel finished.
You can knock down the obvious layer yourself. Change or run your HVAC filter after the work wraps, wipe the surfaces you touch every day, and vacuum the main floors with a sealed HEPA machine. That keeps the worst of it from spreading while you catch up on the rest of the house.
What is worth handing off is the fine dust you cannot see settling: the cabinet tops, the trim, the vent covers, the corners, and the film on the interior glass. It takes the right tools and a top-down method to get it all in one pass instead of chasing it for weeks. If the remodel kicked up dust for anyone with allergies, that thoroughness matters even more, and if the whole house fell behind during a long project, a full one-time reset can cover it all at once. Call or text Staci at 678-578-4747, tell us what the project was, and we will scope it honestly.
A post-renovation clean is for a lived-in home after a partial remodel, like a new kitchen or an updated bathroom, where we work around your furniture and focus on the dust the project created. Post-construction cleaning is for a full gut or a brand-new build, an empty house with heavier debris and every surface in play. If you are not sure which you need, tell us the scope and we will point you to the right one.
No. We clean after the debris is cleared. Once the leftover materials, offcuts, and trash from the project are removed, we handle the fine dust and film that got left behind. We do not haul or dispose of construction debris.
Because remodel dust is extremely fine and never fully settles the first time. It collects on high flat spots like cabinet tops and trim, then lifts off and resettles lower every time a door opens or the HVAC runs. Dry-dusting just puts it back in the air. The fix is a top-down, damp-wipe method that traps it instead of moving it.
We HEPA-vacuum the vent covers and register boots so less of the settled dust gets pulled back into the system. Changing the HVAC filter and cleaning the ducts are handled separately by an HVAC tech, not part of our cleaning.
It depends on the size of the home and how much dust the project threw off. A single-room or single-bath remodel is quicker than a whole-kitchen job that coated the surrounding rooms. Give Staci the details when you book and we will give you a realistic time and price.
