PHASE 1
Pre-Construction Clearing
Pre-construction: clearing build-up before work starts. It is the first of the three phases, and what it covers on a given site is agreed with the contractor or owner before the first trade arrives.
Before After
AI-generated Post-Construction Cleaning in NYC & Tri-State, Phase by Phase
Post-construction cleaning in NYC by stage, so every milestone is handover-ready.
Post-construction cleaning is the removal of construction dust and residue from a new or renovated space, in stages that follow the trades. Creative Cleaning Inc. works in three phases: pre-construction, post-construction in phases as trades finish, and a final clean after punch list items are closed.
Each phase is scheduled with the general contractor against the project milestones, not a fixed number of days after the work. Creative Cleaning Inc. serves sites in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Yonkers, Mount Vernon and New Jersey.
THREE PHASES
What's Included in Our Post-Construction Cleaning
Post-construction cleaning breaks down into fifteen tasks across three phases: four kinds of cleaning work, plus pre-construction clearing and waste coordination, both planned with the contractor.
PHASE 2
Construction Dust, Top to Bottom
As each trade finishes, the crew clears that trade's leftover material from the work area and brings dust down from ceilings, vents and ledges with HEPA vacuuming and damp wiping. The sector calls this pass a rough clean.
PHASE 2
Detail on New Glass & Fixtures
Labels and protective film come off glass and appliances, paint overspray and adhesive come off finishes, and fixtures, hardware and stainless steel are polished. Restrooms, kitchens and cabinets are cleaned in detail, inside and out.
PHASE 2
Floors Brought to Finish
Floor Cleaning by Surface Type treats hardwood, tile, vinyl plank, polished concrete and carpet each on its own terms, without stripping or refinishing. Dirt from everyday use, not from construction, calls for a one-time deep clean.
PHASE 3
Punch-List Touch-Up & Handover
Final clean after punch list items are closed: the crew touches up what the last fixes disturbed and walks the space before handover. Once the space is occupied, upkeep moves to a recurring nightly crew.
SITE WASTE
Construction Waste Coordination
Construction waste and leftover material are gathered from the work areas and staged at the general contractor's container. Hauling it off site stays with the contractor or a registered hauler.
