How a post-construction clean is sequenced
We plan back from your handover date, so the clean fits the time the schedule leaves.
The contractor clears debris first. Please have waste, offcuts and packaging cleared before we arrive.
Rough, then final. On larger projects, a rough pass keeps the last trades working clean.
The dust settles. Fine dust lands overnight, so the final detail comes after it.
A walkthrough closes it. Room by room, against an agreed checklist.

What Ottawa clients say about Good Cleaner Co.
I contacted Good Cleaner, to help clean up my house before I moved in, and I was more than impressed. Remy was excellent over the phone and communicated very openly, and Erin was amazing. She was so kind and did a through job. The place almost looks unrecognizable. Will definitely be reaching out in the future!
We have used Good Cleaner Cleaning for 2 years now and have no complaints. We had gone through several companies prior to finding them that were not a suitable fit for our company, so I can highly recommend them for their thoroughness and high attention to detail.
Thay clean my office and the building lobby. My staffs absolutely adore these young folks. They did a really great job i really appreciate it. They’re the best.

Questions before you request a quote
How much does post-construction cleaning cost in Ottawa?
It depends on the project type, the finished area, the trades involved and how much residue the work left. There is no one-size price, so the free quote is based on your project.
What is post-construction cleaning?
Post-construction cleaning is the final clean after renovation or building work, done once the trades have finished and the contractor has removed the debris. It removes the fine construction dust and the residue the work leaves behind, such as adhesive, grout haze, paint splatter, caulk and label glue, cleans cabinets and closets inside as well as out, and finishes the floors by material so the space is ready for handover or move-in.
When should post-construction cleaning be booked?
After the trades have finished and the contractor has removed the debris. On larger projects a rough clean partway through keeps the remaining trades working clean, with the detail clean once everyone is out.
Why does dust come back the day after the clean?
Because fine drywall dust stays airborne for hours and lands overnight. It is normal, and it is why a planned project leaves time between the rough clean and the final detail.
Is post-construction cleaning the same as a deep clean?
No. A deep clean removes accumulated household or workplace soil. A construction clean removes construction dust and construction residue: adhesive, grout haze, paint splatter, caulk and label glue. The products, the sequence and the risk to new finishes are all different. See deep cleaning.
Do you remove debris, or deal with asbestos, lead paint or mould?
Those stay with the contractor, and we ask that they are cleared before we arrive. If asbestos, lead paint or mould is found, we pause the cleaning, because those materials need a licensed abatement contractor.
Do you offer new construction and post-renovation cleaning for homes and builders?
Yes. New construction cleaning for a just-built home, post-renovation cleaning after a new kitchen, bathroom or basement, and construction cleanup after a commercial fit-out are the same service with a different sequence. Builders, contractors and property managers book it ahead of a handover or inspection, and homeowners after their own renovation.
Can you work evenings or weekends for a commercial fit-out?
Out-of-hours scheduling is normal for fit-outs, because the clean is the last task before a tenant takes possession. We agree on it in advance.
