Post-Construction Cleaning in Denver
Your renovation is finished. The contractors are gone. But the dust is everywhere.
Denver Clean Home transforms construction zones into move-in-ready spaces with our thorough, multi-phase post-construction cleaning service.
Why Construction Dust Demands Professional Cleaning
Whether you have just completed a kitchen remodel in Washington Park, finished a basement in Lakewood, or built a brand-new home in Stapleton, the aftermath of construction is always the same: fine dust on every surface, adhesive residue on new fixtures, and debris in corners and crevices you did not know existed. Construction dust is not ordinary household dust. It contains silica from drywall, wood fibers from framing and trim, concrete particles, paint overspray, and chemical compounds from adhesives and sealants.
In the Denver Metro area, our naturally dry climate at 5,280 feet of elevation makes the problem worse. Low humidity means fine dust particles stay airborne longer and settle more slowly. Without proper HEPA-filtered cleaning equipment, a simple wipe-down just redistributes these particles throughout your newly remodeled space. That is why homeowners and general contractors across Denver, Aurora, Arvada, and the surrounding communities trust Denver Clean Home for thorough post-construction cleaning.
Your lungs, your allergies, and your brand-new finishes deserve better than a DIY dust-off. Our team arrives with commercial-grade HEPA vacuums, microfiber systems, and the expertise to handle everything from a single-room renovation to a complete ground-up new build.
Our Three-Phase Post-Construction Cleaning Process
A single pass is never enough after construction. Our proven phased approach ensures every trace of construction is eliminated from your Denver home or business.
Rough Clean
The first phase tackles the biggest messes left behind by contractors. We focus on removing the bulk of visible debris and heavy dust so the space is safe and functional.
- ✓ Remove all construction debris, packaging, and leftover materials
- ✓ Sweep and vacuum all floors to remove heavy dust layers
- ✓ Wipe down walls, ceilings, and trim to remove surface dust
- ✓ Clean HVAC vents and replace filters clogged with construction dust
Detail Clean
Once the rough debris is gone, we shift to a meticulous surface-by-surface detail cleaning. This is where your new space truly starts to shine.
- ✓ Deep clean all countertops, cabinetry, and built-ins inside and out
- ✓ Clean all windows, glass, and mirrors — remove stickers and protective film
- ✓ Scrub all bathrooms including new tile, grout, and fixtures
- ✓ Remove adhesive residue, paint splatters, and caulk smears
Final Touch & Inspection
The final phase is our quality assurance pass. We go room by room with fresh eyes to catch anything that was missed and ensure move-in perfection.
- ✓ Final vacuum and mop of all hard floors
- ✓ Polish all hardware, fixtures, and appliance surfaces
- ✓ Touch up any areas where dust has resettled overnight
- ✓ Walk-through inspection with the homeowner or contractor
Denver's Renovation Boom Means More Demand for Post-Construction Cleaning
Denver's real estate market has been on a sustained growth trajectory for over a decade. Neighborhoods like RiNo, LoHi, Sloan's Lake, and Park Hill are experiencing massive redevelopment. Older bungalows are being expanded, historic homes are being restored, and new construction is springing up across the metro area from Castle Rock to Broomfield.
This renovation boom means thousands of Denver homeowners and property investors are dealing with the aftermath of construction projects every month. Whether it is a luxury kitchen remodel in Cherry Creek, a pop-top addition in Highlands, or a complete gut renovation in Englewood, every project ends with the same challenge: getting the space truly clean.
Denver Clean Home has worked alongside dozens of general contractors and builders across the Front Range. We understand construction timelines, the urgency of move-in dates, and the specific types of mess that different construction projects leave behind. From drywall dust to concrete residue, from paint overspray to grout haze, we have seen it all and we know exactly how to handle it.
Common Denver Construction Projects We Clean After

Safety-First Construction Cleanup
Post-construction environments present unique hazards. Our team is trained to work safely and protect your new investment.
Protecting Your Health
Construction dust is not just unsightly — it can be genuinely harmful. Drywall dust contains gypsum and silica. Sawdust can trigger asthma attacks. Concrete dust is alkaline and irritates skin, eyes, and lungs. Paint fumes can linger for days in poorly ventilated spaces.
At Denver's high altitude, where the air is already thinner and dryer, these particles can be especially problematic. Our cleaning crew uses N95 respirators, eye protection, and HEPA-filtered vacuums that capture 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns. We do not just move the dust around — we remove it from your environment entirely.
If your household includes children, elderly family members, or anyone with respiratory sensitivities, professional post-construction cleaning is not a luxury — it is a health necessity.
Protecting Your Investment
You have invested thousands — often tens of thousands — of dollars in your Denver renovation. The last thing you want is to damage those brand-new quartz countertops, scratch your hardwood floors, or dull the finish on your custom cabinetry with improper cleaning methods.
Our team is trained on the correct cleaning products and techniques for every type of surface. We know that natural stone requires pH-neutral cleaners, that hardwood floors should never be soaked, and that stainless steel has a grain direction that matters when polishing. We use non-abrasive methods to remove adhesive residue without damaging new finishes.
We carry full liability insurance, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected while we work. Every member of our team is background-checked, trained, and experienced with post-construction environments.
New Appliance Cleaning — Ready to Use on Day One
New appliances are never truly clean out of the box. We make sure every appliance in your remodeled kitchen or laundry room is spotless and ready to use.
Kitchen Appliances
We remove protective films, manufacturing oils, and construction dust from refrigerators, ovens, ranges, dishwashers, microwaves, and range hoods. Inside and out, top to bottom — including shelves, drawers, and filters.
Laundry Appliances
New washers and dryers often contain residue from manufacturing and testing. We clean drums, dispensers, lint traps, and exterior surfaces so your first load of laundry comes out perfectly clean.
HVAC Systems
Construction dust infiltrates ductwork and coats return vents. We clean all accessible vents, registers, and returns. We also recommend replacing all HVAC filters that were in place during construction.

Post-Construction Cleaning FAQ
Common questions from Denver homeowners and contractors about our post-construction cleaning services.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after construction can you start post-construction cleaning?
We can begin as soon as the contractors have completed their work and the site is safe to enter. Most Denver homeowners schedule us within 24 to 48 hours of project completion. We coordinate directly with your general contractor to ensure the timing works for everyone involved.
What is included in a post-construction cleaning service?
Our post-construction cleaning covers every surface in your home or commercial space. This includes removal of construction dust from all surfaces, vacuuming and mopping all floors, cleaning interior windows and glass, wiping down cabinetry and fixtures, sanitizing kitchens and bathrooms, removing adhesive residue and paint splatters, cleaning air vents and light fixtures, and a final detail inspection to ensure nothing is missed.
How many phases does post-construction cleaning involve?
We follow a three-phase approach for thorough results. Phase one is rough cleaning, which removes large debris, dust, and leftover materials. Phase two is a detailed cleaning of every surface, fixture, and appliance. Phase three is a final touch-up and quality inspection before you move in or resume using the space. Smaller projects may only require one or two phases.
Is post-construction dust harmful to breathe?
Yes, construction dust can contain silica, wood particles, drywall compounds, and other irritants that pose respiratory risks. Prolonged exposure can aggravate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions. Professional post-construction cleaning uses HEPA-filtered equipment and proper techniques to safely remove these particles rather than simply spreading them around. This is especially important in Denver where dry air can keep fine dust suspended longer.
How long does a post-construction clean take?
The timeline depends on the scope of the construction project and the size of the space. A single bathroom renovation might take 3 to 4 hours, while a full home remodel or new construction build can require 1 to 3 full days with a multi-person crew. We provide a detailed time estimate after assessing your specific project during our free consultation.
Do you clean newly installed appliances after construction?
Absolutely. New appliances often arrive with protective films, adhesive residue, manufacturing oils, and a layer of construction dust. We clean the interior and exterior of all newly installed appliances including ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, washers, dryers, and range hoods. We make sure every appliance is move-in ready and sparkling clean.
