In White Plains, the deadline is often in a lease
White Plains has a lot of leased office space, so a lot of its commercial construction happens between tenants. When a company leaves a floor on Westchester Avenue or a suite downtown, the space is often repainted, recarpeted or rebuilt for whoever signs next, and the new tenant's move-in date is already fixed. The dust from that work settles on window sills, trim, counters and floors, and more of it comes down after the last trade packs up.
Downtown, the apartment and condo buildings add a second kind of job. A renovated unit needs a final clean before the next tenant or buyer walks in, and there is usually a showing or a key handover on the calendar already.
The rest is houses. Battle Hill, Rosedale and Ridgeway have capes and colonials, and Gedney Farms and Fisher Hill have larger older homes. A kitchen or bathroom remodel in an older house spreads fine dust well past the room the work was in, through doorways and up the stairs, so the clean often covers more of the house than the project did.
What a White Plains post-construction clean covers
Dust off the surfaces
Construction dust wiped off counters, shelves and ledges, the film that makes a finished room look unfinished.
Window sills and trim
The ledges and moldings where sanding and drywall dust settles and stays.
Kitchens and bathrooms
Counters, sinks, fixtures and tile cleaned of construction residue.
Cabinet exteriors
Doors, faces and handles of new or refinished cabinets.
Interior surfaces
Doors, switch plates and the other surfaces people touch on their first day in the space.
Floors
Vacuumed, then mopped once the dust is up.
Final detail clean
A last pass so the space is ready for the people moving in.
The full checklist is on our post-construction cleaning page.
How to check a post-construction clean before you sign it off
Construction dust is pale and fine, so a room can look clean from the doorway and still have a film on everything. Before you accept the work, from us or anyone else, check it the way a fussy new tenant would:
1. Run a white cloth along a window sill and a length of trim.
2. Crouch down and look across a hard floor toward a window. Low light shows a dusty film you'd miss looking straight down.
3. Run a hand over the cabinet doors and handles.
4. Look at the kitchen and bathroom counters and tile in daylight. Residue shows as a dull haze.
5. Run the taps and check the fixtures for grit.
Keep the written proposal in hand while you do it and note anything on it that wasn't done. If you want something it doesn't list, raise it before the work starts so you both have it in writing. With us, call (203) 872-5926.

Post-Construction Cleaning in White Plains: questions
How much does post-construction cleaning cost in White Plains?
It depends on the size of the space, how much dust the work left and what has to be ready by when. Quotes are free, and the price comes in a written proposal.
When should I call about a post-construction clean?
Before the trades finish, if you can. Tell us the date the space has to be ready so the clean can be scheduled ahead of it.
Do you clean an office floor between tenants?
Yes. Remodeled offices are on our list. Tell us when the work finishes, when the new tenant moves in and what the building requires from outside vendors, and the clean gets scheduled in that gap.
Do you work for contractors and property managers?
Yes. We do post-construction cleaning for contractors, property managers and real estate professionals, as well as for homeowners and businesses.
Is post-construction cleaning different from regular office cleaning?
Yes. Regular cleaning keeps up with everyday use. A post-construction clean deals with the fine dust from sanding, drywall and paint on ledges, trim, counters and cabinets, and the film it leaves on kitchens, bathrooms and floors. Once the space is in use, recurring office cleaning can take over if you want it.
