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 Cumming 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 room to room, slips past the plastic sheeting, and keeps drifting after the tools are put away. You wipe a counter, and by morning there is a fresh gray film on it again. That is because the dust never fully settled. It collects on cabinet tops, trim, and fan blades, then lifts off and resettles lower every time a door opens or the HVAC kicks on.
A post-renovation clean works top down and damp, not dry, so the dust binds to the cloth instead of scattering. 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 construction debris.
Cumming skews newer, so the projects here look different from the older parts of North Atlanta. Instead of full gut jobs, most Forsyth County remodels are updates: a kitchen refreshed in a Windermere or Vickery build, a basement finished for a growing family, or a Lake Lanier second home near Bald Ridge getting a refresh between seasons. The homes are only a decade or two old, but a project still throws the same fine drywall dust into rooms full of furniture and everyday life, with nowhere to hide that is not also a surface you use.
A post-renovation clean covers a top-down damp-wipe of cabinet tops, trim, and fan blades, a HEPA vacuum of floors and upholstery, and interior windows and sills cleared of the film a remodel leaves. Exterior window washing is not included. We HEPA-vacuum the vent covers and register boots so less dust recirculates, while filter changes are handled by an HVAC tech. A post-renovation deep clean starts at $180. Read the full post-renovation guide for the detail, or for a brand-new build our post-construction cleaning is the right service.
Yes. A post-renovation clean is for a lived-in home after a partial project, like a kitchen update or a finished basement, where we work around your furniture and focus on the dust the work created. Post-construction cleaning is for a full gut or a brand-new Forsyth County build, an empty house with heavier debris and every surface in play. 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.
