Post-Construction Cleaning Services
From Hard Hat Zone to Move-In Ready.
Detailed post-construction and renovation cleanup for commercial spaces. Three-phase process — rough clean, detail clean, punch list — with photo-verified Tracker® documentation for GC and owner sign-off.
Construction projects end with a certificate of occupancy — but between that certificate and actual move-in, there’s a massive gap: fine dust on every surface, adhesive residue on glass, paint overspray on fixtures, and debris in every corner. Regular cleaning can’t handle it.
JAN-PRO’s post-construction program uses a three-phase approach — rough clean, detail clean, and punch list — to take spaces from hard hat zone to move-in ready. Each phase is documented through Tracker® with photo verification, giving the general contractor and building owner close-out documentation that proves the work meets standards.
The bonus: most of our long-term client relationships start right here. Once post-construction is complete, we transition seamlessly to ongoing janitorial service — already knowing your building’s surfaces, systems, and layout from day one.

“We've used JAN-PRO for post-construction cleanup on three projects now. The Tracker photos from each phase give us exactly what we need for close-out documentation, and the GC loves that there's verifiable proof the space was cleaned to spec. Our last project transitioned straight into ongoing janitorial — they already knew the building inside and out.”

FAQ
Questions & answers.
What's the difference between rough clean, detail clean, and punch list?
Rough clean removes large debris, bulk dust, and construction waste. Detail clean is intensive — every surface wiped, windows cleaned, adhesives removed, fixtures polished, floors prepped. Punch list addresses specific items identified during the GC and owner walkthrough.
How much does post-construction cleaning cost?
Post-construction cleaning typically ranges from $1,000 to $15,000+ per project depending on square footage, construction type, and scope. A 5,000 sqft office renovation runs $1,500-$3,000; a 50,000 sqft new build costs significantly more. We provide a firm quote after the site walkthrough.
How long does post-construction cleaning take?
A 5,000 sqft office renovation: 1-2 days. A 50,000 sqft new build: up to a week. Timeline depends on construction type, dust level, and how many phases are needed. We provide a firm schedule after the site walkthrough.
How is JAN-PRO's post-construction cleaning different from other companies?
Our three-phase system with Tracker® photo documentation gives GCs and owners verifiable proof that each phase is complete — ideal for close-out documentation. Most competitors do a single pass with no documentation. We also coordinate around active trades and offer seamless transition to ongoing janitorial.
Do you provide equipment and supplies for post-construction cleanup?
Yes. JAN-PRO franchise owners bring all equipment — industrial vacuums, scrubbers, specialized removal solutions, and surface-appropriate cleaning products. You don't need to arrange anything.
How quickly can post-construction cleaning start?
We can begin rough cleaning within 2-3 business days of the site walkthrough, and often coordinate start dates with your GC's construction schedule. Get an estimate now and a local franchise owner will follow up within 4 hours.
Can you transition to ongoing janitorial after cleanup?
Yes — this is one of our most common transitions. The cleanup gives us intimate familiarity with your space, surfaces, and systems before ongoing service begins. Most clients save time on onboarding by starting here.
Do you handle renovation cleanup, not just new construction?
Yes. Renovation cleanup is one of our most common post-construction projects — tenant build-outs, office remodels, restroom renovations, and lobby refreshes. The same three-phase process applies regardless of project size.
