Cleaning Up After a Renovation in
Alpharetta, GA

The crew packs up and the kitchen or bath remodel is finally done, but the dust is not. In an established Alpharetta home full of furniture, renovation dust settles into everything twice. A post-renovation clean pulls the fine drywall and sawdust out 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 room to room, slips past the plastic sheeting, and keeps drifting after the tools are gone. You wipe a counter, and by morning there is a fresh gray film on it again. That is because the dust never fully settled the first time. It collects on cabinet tops, trim, ledges, and fan blades, then lifts off and resettles lower every time a door opens or the HVAC runs.

In Alpharetta that lands hard, because most remodels up here happen in lived-in homes, not empty ones. A post-renovation clean has to work top-down and damp, not dry, so nothing gets relaunched into the air. Every hard surface gets damp-wiped so the dust binds to the cloth. 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. We do not haul or dispose of construction debris.

Why It Hits Harder in Alpharetta

Remodels in lived-in homes.

Alpharetta has a steady stream of kitchen and bath remodels, especially in the established 1990s and 2000s subdivisions around Windward and Crabapple and the older neighborhoods near downtown. Owners open up a kitchen or redo a primary bath, 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.

In a lived-in Alpharetta remodel we work around your things, protect what needs protecting, and go after the dust reservoirs the project created: top-down damp-wiping of cabinet tops, trim, ledges, casings, and fan blades; every hard surface wiped damp; HEPA vacuuming of floors, edges, corners, and upholstery; vent covers and register boots HEPA-vacuumed so less dust recirculates, with filter changes handled by an HVAC tech; and interior windows, sills, and tracks cleared of film. Exterior windows are not included. For the full method, read the main post-renovation guide. A post-renovation deep clean starts at $180 depending on scope, or see pricing. For a full gut or new build, our post-construction cleaning is the right service.

Alpharetta Post-Renovation Questions

Answers before you book.

Do you haul the renovation debris away?

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 left behind. We do not haul or dispose of construction debris.

We remodeled a kitchen in an older Windward home. Can you work around our furniture?

Yes. Most Alpharetta remodels are in lived-in homes, so working around furniture is the norm. We protect what needs protecting and focus on the dust reservoirs the project created, cabinet tops, trim, vents, corners, and interior glass, without disturbing the rest of the house.

Do you clean the vents or change the HVAC filter?

We HEPA-vacuum the vent covers and register boots so less 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.

Is this the same as post-construction cleaning?

No. A post-renovation clean is for a lived-in Alpharetta home after a partial remodel, like a new kitchen or updated bath, where we work around your furniture. Post-construction cleaning is for a full gut or a brand-new build, an empty house with heavier debris. Tell us the scope and we will point you to the right one.
