After the Builders Leave a Marietta Renovation

Much of the post-construction work Mater Cleaning Services does in Marietta follows a renovation or an extension rather than a new build, because so much of the housing here is older. That means construction dust sitting on surfaces that were never designed for it. We remove it in multiple passes, then detail glass, cabinetry, fittings and floors. Quotes are free and follow a walkthrough, with a reply within one business day.

Cleaners working in a kitchen with cluttered worktops and stacked dishes

Renovation dust behaves differently from new-build dust and is considerably more annoying. On a new build every surface is fresh and takes an aggressive first pass without complaint. In a renovated older Marietta house the dust has settled onto original trim, painted plaster, period ironmongery and floors that may have been down for decades, and the first pass has to be chosen for the weakest surface in the room rather than the dirtiest. Plaster dust is the specific problem. It is fine enough to stay airborne for hours after work stops, so it re-settles onto anything cleaned too early, which is why the job is staged rather than done in one sweep and why a final detail pass after the air has settled is not padding. Where new work meets old, and in an extension it always does, there is usually a seam where the tolerance changes: new trim sits flush, old trim does not, and the gap along it holds dust that a general wipe simply moves around.

Common questions about post-construction cleaning in Marietta, GA

Can you clean up after a renovation in an older Marietta house?

Yes, and it is most of what we do here. The method is chosen for the most delicate surface in each room rather than the dirtiest, because original trim, plaster and period fittings will not take the aggressive first pass a new build tolerates without any difficulty at all.

How soon after the builders finish should we book you in Marietta?

Once the dust-producing work is genuinely finished, not before. Plaster dust stays airborne for hours, so cleaning too early simply means cleaning twice. We build in a final detail pass after the air has settled, and we will tell you honestly if a date is too soon.

How much does post-construction cleaning cost?

It depends on condition more than on size, which is why we will not quote it over the phone. Two identical properties can differ by double depending on how well the site was managed and how much dust was contained. We visit, then give you a fixed figure.

When should the clean happen?

After the last trade has finished and left. Cleaning while snagging, painting or fitting is still going on means paying for the same work twice, and we would rather tell you that than take the booking. We will help you sequence it at the site visit.

Why does it need more than one pass?

Fine construction dust is airborne and keeps resettling as air moves through the building. Cleaning once simply moves it around. We work in passes and let the air settle before detailing glass and floors, because those show every particle that lands afterwards.

Can you work to a handover deadline?

Yes, and tell us at the site visit rather than after. If there is a fixed date for a photographer, an inspection or a client handover, we staff the job to hit it, which usually means a larger crew over a shorter period.
