Post-Construction & Renovation Cleaning
Renovation dust settles everywhere — inside cabinets, on light fixtures, in vents and along every ledge. Our post-renovation clean uses HEPA vacuuming and multi-pass wiping to remove it properly, not just push it around.
We also handle adhesive residue, paint splatter on glass, and sticker removal from new fixtures, leaving your space showroom-ready.
Post Renovation Cleaning Can Include
- HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces
- Inside new cabinets & drawers
- Residue, paint & sticker removal
- Vents, fixtures & window tracks
What Is Post Renovation Cleaning — And Why Is It Different?
Renovation work — no matter how careful the contractors are — leaves behind a specific type of mess that standard cleaning simply cannot handle. Fine drywall dust settles invisibly on every horizontal surface. Grout haze clouds new tiles. Paint overspray coats fixtures. Adhesive residue sticks to floors. Silicone smears appear on glass. Sawdust works itself into every vent and gap.
This is not a job for a regular mop and a spray bottle.
Clean Core's post renovation cleaning service in St. John's is built specifically for properties coming out of construction or renovation work. We use the right tools, the right products and a structured multi-phase approach — fine dust removal first, then deep surface cleaning, then final detail work — so that when we leave, your newly renovated home is genuinely clean and ready to be lived in.
Whether you renovated a single bathroom, a full kitchen or an entire home — we handle the cleanup so you can focus on enjoying what was just built.
Why You Cannot Just Wipe It Down Yourself
Most homeowners try to clean after a renovation and quickly realize the same thing: the dust keeps coming back.
Fine construction dust — especially from drywall sanding and cutting — is ultra-fine particulate matter. It is not like regular household dust. When you wipe a surface, you disturb it and it becomes airborne again, then settles right back down. A standard vacuum spreads it through the exhaust. A damp cloth smears it. You wipe the counter, it looks clean, and an hour later there is a white film again.
The right approach requires a specific sequence: HEPA-filter vacuuming of all surfaces first to capture the fine particulate before it moves, followed by damp wiping with the correct products, followed by detailed work in grout lines, tracks, vents and fixtures. Done out of order, you just redistribute the problem.
Our team is trained in post-construction cleaning specifically. We know the sequence. We have the equipment. And we do not leave until the dust is actually gone — not just moved around.

When Is Post Renovation Cleaning the Right Call?
After a Kitchen Renovation
Kitchen renos generate grease, dust, silicone, adhesive and grout residue on every surface. New cabinets have installation dust inside them. New countertops have adhesive residue on the edges. A proper post-reno clean makes your new kitchen ready to actually cook in.
After a Bathroom Renovation
New tile grout leaves haze on every surface. Silicone caulking leaves smears. Fixture installation leaves fingerprints and metal dust on hardware. We clean the grout haze, polish the new fixtures and make the bathroom look the way it was meant to look.
After a Full Home Renovation or Addition
Whole-home renovations are the most demanding post-construction cleanup job. Dust travels through the entire property via air circulation, even in rooms that were not touched. We treat the entire home, not just the rooms that were worked on.
New Build — Before Moving In
Builders clean, but they do not deep clean. New construction homes accumulate significant dust and debris during the final stages of work. A professional post-build clean before your move-in date ensures the home is truly ready — not just construction-ready.
After Window or Door Replacement
Window and door installation leaves frame dust, adhesive residue and silicone smears on both glass and surrounding surfaces. We remove it all and leave the new installations looking sharp.
After Painting or Drywall Work
Drywall sanding creates the finest and most persistent dust of any renovation task. Paint work leaves overspray and drips on floors, fixtures and hardware. This is one of the most important times to bring in professional post-renovation cleaners.
The Problem With Construction Dust in Newfoundland Homes
St. John's weather creates an additional challenge for post-renovation cleaning that many homeowners do not anticipate. For most of the year homes are sealed tightly against wind, rain and cold. When renovation work happens inside a sealed home, fine construction dust has nowhere to go. It circulates through the heating system and settles on every surface, including rooms that were never part of the renovation.
We have cleaned homes where drywall dust from a basement renovation had settled on surfaces on the second floor. We have seen paint fumes and silicone residue affect kitchen cabinets two rooms away from where the work happened. Renovation cleanup is never just about the room that was renovated.
Our team treats the whole property — starting from the furthest point from the renovation work and working inward, so we do not track dust back through areas we have already cleaned.
