Construction Cleaning
Graceful Maids has a division committed to post construction cleaning from rough to final.
Rough cleaning is performed before incoming subcontractors come in to do their work such a painters and installers of flooring, fixtures, and cabinets. Services include:
- Eliminate small debris and trash
- Remove stickers/plastics
- Sweep and damp mop floors
- Damp mop vertical/horizontal surfaces to remove as much dust as possible
Final cleaning is done once the construction process is entirely complete, prior to final walk-through and receiving the Certificate of Occupancy. Our final construction cleaning services include:
- Dust all vertical and horizontal surfaces top to bottom
- Vacuum and/or sweep/damp mop all floors
- Clean/sanitize kitchens and bathrooms
- Polish stainless steel
- Clean window sills and window frames
- Wash all glass/mirrors
*Windows are cleaned separately
Touch-up cleaning is not required for all projects. Typically, it is done after a final cleaning because there has been a delay in occupancy of the home/building or to touch up after a revisit of a returning contractor.
Disclaimer
We do not climb higher than a 2-step ladder during a maid service. Higher items will only be dusted with an extension duster. We do not move furniture, but we can dust/clean around visible areas by hand or extensions. Some homes might have light fixtures, ceilings, fans or window ledges we cannot reach with extensions. We cannot guarantee the results of blinds/shutter cleaning from excessive buildup. Please allow for some dust resettlement after we are done, we try to limit the dust in the air by vacuuming as much a possible but cannot prevent entirely.
