Post-construction cleaning pricing in Austin

Post-construction cleaning in Austin is usually priced per square foot or per project, and the total depends on the size of the space, how much dust and debris the build left, and how many cleanup phases you need. New builds and full remodels cost more than a light punch-out clean. As a 2026 market range, post-construction cleaning runs about $0.15-$0.40 per square foot for a rough clean, $0.20-$0.60 for a final clean, and $0.30-$0.75 for a full commercial final; debris haul-off is usually billed separately at $100-$300.

Recurring commercial cleaning is quoted per visit because the space comes back to the same condition every time. A post-construction clean does not — it is a one-way job that ends when the space is handed over. The labor is set by how much dust and residue the build left behind, not by the floor plan, which is why it is priced per square foot or as a flat project price instead. If you are pricing ongoing service rather than a handover clean, start at how much commercial cleaning costs in Austin, where routine work runs $130 to $350 per visit.
Fine drywall dust does not come out in a single pass. It settles out of the air onto everything you just wiped, so a real final clean is a pass, a settle, and a second pass — and a bid that has only priced one pass will either run over or hand you a space that looks clean until the light changes. When you compare two post-construction quotes, ask each one how many passes the price covers and what happens if the site is dustier than expected on the day.

Most Austin post-construction jobs are quoted per square foot or as a flat project price, based on the size of the space and how heavy the cleanup is. A dusty new build takes far more labor than a small remodel punch-out, so the price scales with the mess, not just the square footage.
Post-construction cleaning often runs in phases: a rough clean after the major work, a final detail clean before handover, and a touch-up after move-in furniture and trades clear out. You can book one phase or all three; pricing follows the scope of each.
Square footage, the volume of dust and debris, floor and surface types, glass and fixture detailing, trash haul-off, and your timeline. Tight turnarounds and heavy residue (drywall dust, paint, adhesive) add labor and raise the price.
A real quote beats any online estimate. Send the square footage, the build type (new, remodel, tenant build-out), the phase you need, and a few photos of the current condition, and Bailey & Bear returns a clear, itemized price for your Austin jobsite.
