Post-Construction Cleaning Services in New Orleans

The final step your project deserves

When construction ends in New Orleans, the real work of making a space livable or workable begins. Whether it’s a fresh new build in Gentilly or a renovation in the Bywater, leftover dust, debris, and fine particles don’t just vanish. They settle in — into air vents, light fixtures, and the tiniest corners. And in a city like ours, where humidity turns dust to grime fast, you can’t afford to leave a job unfinished. That’s where we step in. At ServiceMaster Elite Cleaning Services, we handle post-construction cleaning with the precision, speed, and local insight you need to move in with confidence.

Dust doesn’t wait—and neither should you. Book your post-construction cleaning today and move in with peace of mind.

Got dust in every corner? Let’s fix that.

Construction dust has a way of sneaking into every crevice — even with the most careful crews. We go far beyond surface cleaning to remove debris, fine particulate matter, adhesives, and residue that standard cleaning can’t handle. And yes, we know how fast that Louisiana moisture can turn dust into something far less manageable. We clean with your climate in mind.

• We target high-touch surfaces, trim, ducts, and hidden corners.
• Industrial-grade HEPA vacuums trap fine particles that linger in the air.
• We ensure spaces are clean, dry, and ready for occupancy — not just “look good” clean, but healthy clean.

Why construction cleaning in New Orleans is its own beast

Between the city’s age, climate, and mix of historic and modern structures, post-construction cleaning here is a little different than in most places. Debris doesn’t just sit on the floor — it finds its way into crown molding, antique vents, and behind walls. And let’s not forget the weather. Open windows during a build? That means extra pollen, extra dirt, and sometimes, a little bit of Bourbon Street.

Here’s how we work with the environment:

• We understand how moisture and heat can trap odors and dust.
• Our team adjusts cleaning solutions based on building age and materials.
• We prep your property so it doesn’t just pass inspection — it feels fresh and safe from day one.

We’re the last crew in… and we take that seriously

Post-construction cleaning is the final step before you can welcome people into a space — whether it’s tenants, customers, or employees. That’s why our team treats it like the most important part of the project. We’re not just wiping down walls — we’re setting the tone for the building’s first impression.

Every cleaning includes:

• Removing all surface-level and embedded dust
• Cleaning lighting, fixtures, baseboards, and trim
• Polishing windows, mirrors, and glass so they’re streak-free
• Scrubbing tile, grout, and hard-to-reach areas
• Full sanitization of bathrooms and kitchens
• Floor care — from mopping to buffing, depending on surface

Construction messes don’t scare us

Drywall dust on the ceiling fan. Boot prints in the hallway. A weird glue residue on the floor near the entry. Every project leaves its own brand of mess, and we’ve seen it all. We come prepared with the tools and techniques to tackle everything from renovation projects in single-family homes to major commercial builds.

We’re especially equipped to handle:

• Large commercial job sites needing phased cleanups
• Residential remodels in occupied homes
• Historic property restorations that require gentle handling
• High-rise or multi-story properties with complex access points

The final clean is the most important one. Contact us now and we’ll handle every last detail so you can enjoy your new space immediately.

Custom cleanups for contractors, builders & property managers

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter service. Every property is different, and every job comes with its own timeline and quirks. Our team works directly with general contractors, developers, and property managers to build a cleanup plan that fits your project — whether that’s one big clean after construction wraps, or multiple visits throughout the process.

Flexible options include:

• Rough-in cleanings during construction to reduce buildup
• Final clean once construction is complete
• Touch-up cleanings before move-in or after inspections
• Weekend and after-hours service to avoid site disruption

We know how to clean New Orleans right

Being local means we know what’s under your dust. From Uptown’s double-gallery homes to sleek downtown builds, New Orleans construction covers a wide range of surfaces and situations. Our team understands the quirks of the region, and we bring that local know-how to every job.

A few things that make us different:

• We’re trained to work around delicate woodwork, older trim, and plaster walls.
• We’re pros at removing drywall dust from HVAC vents — a big deal in humid NOLA weather.
• We understand local inspection requirements and clean to those standards.
• Our team is fully vetted, insured, and ready to work in active job sites.

FAQs

Do I need post-construction cleaning if the contractors already cleaned up?
Contractors usually do a “broom sweep” — that means picking up large debris and clearing walkways. But it doesn’t include fine dust, residue, or sanitizing. We go beyond the basics to make the space actually livable.

How soon can you start cleaning after construction ends?
We’re flexible and can typically start within 24–48 hours after the site is cleared for cleaning. We work around your schedule and can coordinate directly with your contractor or site manager.

Is your team used to working in historic buildings or older homes?
Absolutely. We know how to navigate plaster, fragile trims, vintage floors, and other delicate materials common in New Orleans properties. We adjust our methods so your space is clean and protected.
