Negreiro Services are the absolute best pros I have ever hired for a "deep clean" for my home. They worked professionally, were prepared with the right tools and products, were thorough and beyond, and left my home SPARKLING CLEAN. I will be using them regularly and I highly recommend them to others. I am elderly and this took a big weight off my mind And their prices are great considering the amount of work that they accomplish! The best!

Post Construction Cleaning in Harrisburg, PA
The trades finish and the room is yours again, except it is not. Drywall dust has gone everywhere a room has, including the places you would swear were sealed, and the plastic sheeting only ever slowed it down. Post construction cleaning is clearing the dust, the residue, and what got left behind, so the space can actually be used.
It is not a heavier version of a normal clean. Construction dust is finer than household dust, it settles in waves rather than all at once, and a single pass with a cloth moves it around instead of removing it. Thais and Joseph do this work themselves and bring every supply and every piece of equipment with them.

Post Construction Cleaning in Harrisburg, PA, What Gets Covered
The scope is set when we look at the space, because a refinished bathroom and a whole floor addition are not the same job. This is the shape of it.
Dust, top down
- Ceilings, ceiling corners, and the tops of door frames
- Light fixtures, ceiling fans, and vent covers
- Walls wiped down where the finish allows it
- Window frames, sills, and the tracks, which hold the most of it
- Baseboards, trim, and every ledge dust has settled on
- Repeat passes, because fine dust keeps landing after the first one
Surfaces and fixtures
- New counters, cabinets, and shelving, inside and out
- Sinks, taps, tubs, showers, and toilets
- Appliances inside and out where they are already installed
- Switch plates, outlet covers, handles, and hardware
- Interior glass, mirrors, and interior windows
- Stair treads, spindles, and handrails
Floors
- Vacuumed first, along every edge and into every corner
- Washed after the dust has stopped settling, not before
- Grout haze and residue on new tile worked off
- Protective coverings lifted and the floor underneath cleaned
- Carpet edges and thresholds, where dust and grit collect
What got left behind
- Offcuts, packaging, and general leftover debris cleared
- Stickers and labels off new fixtures, glass, and appliances
- Tape residue on frames and trim
- Loose screws, nails, and grit swept from floors and sills
- A walk through with you at the end, room by room
Anything heavy, structural, or hazardous stays with your contractor. We clear what is left behind rather than haul away a job site, and we tell you at the estimate which side of that line your space falls on.
Post Construction Add Ons Harrisburg Clients Ask For
Some of these are already in the scope of a post construction clean. These are the ones that get added on top of it.
- Interior windows
- Inside the cabinets
- Inside the oven
- Inside the fridge
- Basement
- Baseboards
Interior windows are the add on almost every remodel needs, since glass shows construction dust and grout haze more plainly than any other surface in the room.
Why Post Construction Cleaning in Harrisburg Is Its Own Job
Construction dust is not household dust. It is finer, it is lighter, and it stays airborne for hours after the work stops, which is how it ends up on top of a door frame in a room the crew never opened.
That changes the method. Cleaning has to go strictly top down, floors come last, and the space needs more than one pass, because dust that was still in the air during the first pass lands during the second. A single wipe down of a room after a remodel looks clean for about a day, and then the dust that settled overnight is back on every surface.
It also gets into what is not obvious. Window tracks, vent covers, the tops of cabinets, inside new drawers, the gap between a new counter and the wall. Those are the places it is found weeks later, usually by whoever is trying to live in the room.
When to Book Post Construction Cleaning in Harrisburg, PA
The order matters as much as the date, and booking it too early costs you the clean.
After the trades are finished, not between them. If a painter is coming back on Thursday, Thursday afternoon is the start of this job rather than Wednesday. Cleaning a room that is going to be sanded again is paying twice for one result.
Before the furniture, and before you move back in. Everything on the list is reachable while the room is empty, and every item that arrives first is something to clean around for the next two years.
If the remodel was part of a move, sequence it with the rest. Plenty of people book this and then a move in clean for the rest of the house a few days later, once the boxes have a clean room to go into.
For a commercial fit out, we usually work in the evening or at the weekend so the space is empty. That is the same scheduling we run for office and small commercial cleaning.
Post Construction Cleaning Around Harrisburg, From One Room to a Whole Floor
Most of the work around Harrisburg is remodels rather than new builds, and they come in three shapes.
A single room. A kitchen, a bathroom, a basement finished off. The dust has still reached the rest of the house, so the job is usually the room plus the rooms either side of it and the route the crew walked in and out.
A whole floor or a gut renovation. This is where repeat passes matter most and where the day runs longest. Older Harrisburg rowhomes in particular hold plaster dust in places a newer house does not have.
A new build or an addition handed over at the end. Everything is new, so as much of the work is removing stickers, labels, tape residue, and grout haze as it is removing dust.
If the space is going to be lived in as it is, a deep clean of the rest of the house often follows a week later, once the last of the dust has finished settling.
Post Construction Cleaning Prices in Harrisburg, PA, What Moves the Number
No published rate. This is the job where the number depends least on square footage and most on what the crew left.
How much was done, and how much dust it made. Drywall and plaster work is the heaviest. Cabinet swaps and flooring are lighter.
How well the site was protected while the work ran. Sheeting, taped doorways, and an extractor make a real difference to what is left for us.
How many passes it needs. One room might take two, a gut renovation takes more, and we will tell you which before anyone commits to anything.
How much debris is left and what kind. Offcuts and packaging are part of the job. Anything heavy, structural, or hazardous belongs with your contractor.
We look at the space, agree the scope with you, and send a written estimate with the price and the hours. The estimate is free. We take cash, check, and Zelle.

Post Construction Cleaning in Harrisburg, PA, Questions We Get Asked
When should post construction cleaning be scheduled?
After the last trade has finished and before the furniture arrives. Cleaning a room that is going to be sanded or painted again means paying twice for one result, and every item that moves in first is something to clean around afterwards.
Why is construction dust harder to clean than normal dust?
It is finer and lighter, and it stays in the air for hours after the work stops, so it keeps landing on surfaces that were already wiped. That is why the work goes strictly top down, why floors are done last, and why the space usually needs more than one pass.
How many passes does a room need?
A single room is often two, and a gut renovation takes more. We tell you how many we expect in the written estimate rather than discovering it halfway through, because the number of passes is most of what sets the hours.
Do you remove the debris the builders left?
We clear offcuts, packaging, and general leftover debris as part of the job. Anything heavy, structural, or hazardous stays with your contractor, and we tell you at the estimate which side of that line your space falls on.
Do you take the stickers and residue off new fixtures?
Yes. Stickers and labels on new glass, fixtures, and appliances, tape residue on frames and trim, and grout haze on new tile are all part of a post construction clean. Anything that has dried on and needs more than cleaning to remove gets flagged at the estimate rather than attempted on a finished surface.
Do you do post construction cleaning for commercial spaces?
Yes, for offices, shops, and small commercial spaces. We usually work in the evening or at the weekend so the space is empty, which is the same scheduling we run for regular commercial cleaning.
How much does post construction cleaning cost in Harrisburg, PA?
It depends on how much work was done, how much dust it made, how well the site was protected while it ran, how many passes the space needs, and how much debris was left. We look at the space, agree the scope, and send a written estimate. The estimate is free.
Ready to use the room again?
We clear the dust, the residue, and what got left behind, and the estimate is free.
