Rough clean
The first pass after heavy work: clearing bulk dust and debris, sweeping and vacuuming floors, wiping down surfaces, and hauling trash so remaining trades can work in a safer, cleaner space.
Post-construction cleaning scope in Austin
What does post-construction cleaning include?
Post-construction cleaning in Austin covers up to three phases — rough clean, final clean, and touch-up — removing construction dust, debris, and residue so a new build, remodel, or tenant build-out is ready to hand over or move into. Bailey & Bear scopes the phase (or phases) your jobsite needs and quotes it free.
Final clean
The detail clean before handover: floors fully cleaned, surfaces and fixtures wiped, glass and windows detailed, and restrooms and kitchens cleaned so the space is presentation-ready.
Touch-up clean
An optional pass after furniture, decor, and any remaining trades finish moving in — resetting floors, glass, and surfaces that picked up marks during move-in.
Who orders it
General contractors and remodelers needing a clean handoff, property managers and owners prepping for occupancy, and venue or event teams closing out a buildout.
What's always covered
Dust and debris removal, floor cleaning, surface and fixture wipe-down, glass and window detailing, restroom and kitchen cleaning, and trash haul-off — scaled to whichever phase you book.
What drives the scope
Square footage, how much dust and debris the build left, floor and surface types, and how many phases you need. Heavier residue like drywall dust, paint overspray, or adhesive adds time to the rough clean.
Frequently asked questions
What is included in post-construction cleaning?
Post-construction cleaning generally covers three phases: a rough clean to clear heavy dust and debris right after major work, a final detail clean of floors, surfaces, fixtures, glass, restrooms, and kitchens before handover, and an optional touch-up after furniture and remaining trades clear out. Trash and debris haul-off is included throughout.
Do I need all three cleaning phases?
No. You can book a single phase or all three depending on your timeline. A quick punch-out remodel often only needs a final clean, while a full new build usually benefits from rough, final, and touch-up.
Who typically orders post-construction cleaning?
General contractors and remodelers ordering a final clean before handoff, property managers and owners preparing a space for move-in or occupancy, and venue or event teams closing out a buildout.
How is post-construction cleaning different from regular commercial cleaning?
Regular commercial cleaning maintains a space that is already in use. Post-construction cleaning removes construction-specific residue such as drywall dust, paint overspray, and adhesive before a space is occupied, and it is usually a one-time or phased job rather than a recurring schedule.
