How Post-Construction Cleaning Is Priced
Most professional post-construction cleaning in NC is priced per square foot, with cost varying by phase, project type, and debris volume.
Rough Clean
$0.15–$0.25 / sq ft
First pass after construction ends. Removes large debris, sweeps all surfaces, clears vents and fixtures.
Detail Clean
$0.20–$0.35 / sq ft
Full surface cleaning after trades finish. Windows, cabinets, floors, bathrooms, paint removal.
Final / Touch-Up Clean
$0.20–$0.30 / sq ft
White-glove pass 24–48 hrs before occupancy. Fingerprints, scuffs, last-minute marks.

Move In/Out Cleaning Pricing
Move in/out cleaning is priced differently from post-construction — it focuses on deep cleaning of a finished, empty space rather than construction debris removal.
Price includes kitchen appliances, bathrooms, floors, and baseboards. Window cleaning available as add-on.
What Affects the Final Cost
Project size
Larger sq footage means more time and crew — our per-sq-ft pricing scales with the job.
Debris volume
Heavy construction debris takes longer to clear than light dust — expect higher costs for rough framing or demolition jobs.
Number of phases
Rough, detail, and final clean are often requested together. Bundle pricing is available for all 3 phases.
Surface types
Hardwood, tile, high ceilings, and custom fixtures require more care and specialized products — factored into your quote.
