Is this different from a regular deep clean?

Yes. Post-construction cleanup deals with drywall dust, paint overspray, and adhesive residue that a standard deep clean isn't set up to handle, and it often needs specialized equipment.

Will they remove paint or stickers from windows?

Many post-construction crews offer this as part of the job or as an add-on, but confirm it's included since some only do general dusting and floor cleanup.

When should this be scheduled during a renovation?

After the contractors finish their final punch-list items but before you move furniture back in, so dust settling from last-minute work doesn't undo the clean.

Post-construction cleanup with window and track detailing

Renovation and new-build cleanup usually involves two things that fall under different categories: heavy dust and debris removal, and cleaning the paint film, tape residue, and dust off windows and tracks. Homeowners and contractors often need both handled in the same visit rather than booking a general cleaner and a separate window cleaner.

Confirm the crew is equipped for construction dust specifically (HEPA vacuums, wet wiping) rather than a standard residential clean.
Ask if window and track detailing (removing paint specks, tape glue, stickers) is included or billed as an add-on.
Coordinate timing with your contractor's punch list so the clean happens after final touch-ups, not before.

This bundle is common for new construction, additions, and full-gut renovations where drywall dust and window film both need attention before move-in or final walkthrough.

What it costs

Cost is driven mostly by square footage and how much construction dust and debris is left behind, since heavy post-construction jobs take longer than a standard deep clean. Adding detailed window and track cleaning on top increases the quote, especially on homes with many windows.
