Residential Post-Renovation & Remodel Cleaning in Houston

Updated July 2026

What does post-renovation cleaning include?

Post-renovation cleaning includes a full, top-to-bottom detail of every room touched by the work: HEPA-vacuuming fine drywall and sanding dust from walls, ceilings, trim, and vents; damp-wiping all surfaces; cleaning inside cabinets, drawers, and closets; removing grout haze, paint specks, and adhesive; detailing windows and sills; and degreasing and sanitizing the kitchen and bathrooms so the space is genuinely move-in ready.

• HEPA-vacuum fine drywall and sanding dust from walls, ceilings, trim, and vents
• Microfiber damp-wipe every surface — twice where dust is heavy
• Clean inside and outside of cabinets, drawers, shelving, and closets
• Remove grout haze, thinset, paint specks, and adhesive from floors and tile
• Detail windows, tracks, sills, and remove leftover stickers and labels
• Degrease and sanitize kitchen counters, sinks, appliances, and bathrooms
• Vacuum and mop all floors; polish where the surface calls for it

How long does a post-remodel clean take?

A typical single-room remodel clean (kitchen or bathroom) takes about 2 to 4 hours, a multi-room or whole-home renovation usually takes 4 to 8 hours, and a large or heavily dusty project can run a full day or need a two-person crew. Timing depends on square footage, how much construction dust and debris is present, and whether a rough clean is needed first.

Because fine construction dust keeps settling for days, we recommend scheduling the detailed clean after the last dusty trade (sanding, cutting, or grinding) is finished — otherwise fresh dust lands on cleaned surfaces overnight.

How much does post-renovation cleaning cost?

Residential post-renovation cleaning in Houston typically runs $250 to $600 for a single-room remodel and $450 to $1,200 for a whole-home renovation, or roughly $0.25 to $0.50 per square foot for a detailed final clean. The final price depends on the size of the space, the amount of dust and debris, and the level of finish detailing required. Every quote is free and in writing.
