Post-Construction Cleaning in Montecito

Post-Construction Cleaning for Home and Business Owners

Builders, remodelers, interior designers and homeowners in Montecito bring us in for post-construction cleanup when the trades are done. We take fine dust, paint overspray, adhesive and stickers off every surface, using HEPA vacuums and microfiber cloths that are safe on new finishes. Cleaning can run in stages alongside the trades, and your contractor signs off each area as it is finished. Family-owned since 1978.

  1. Insurance on FileWorkers compensation covers every crew, alongside liability insurance of $2,000,000 and an umbrella policy for another $2,000,000.
  2. Triple-Checked SurfacesSign-off uses the white glove test, after every surface has been checked for streaks and debris three separate times.
  3. Foot CoveringsFoot coverings stay on for the whole job, which keeps dirt off new flooring and carpet that was just installed.

Marble, Glass Railings and Custom Cabinetry After a Build

Montecito is an unincorporated community in Santa Barbara County, and Visit California counts it among the most expensive residential areas in the country. The materials that go into a build or remodel here match that: marble floors, glass railings, custom cabinetry and lighting fixtures. When the trades leave, all of it is under a film of fine dust, with adhesive, paint splatter and stickers on top.

Our crews clean those surfaces with microfiber cloths on every material and HEPA vacuums that trap the dust instead of stirring it back into the air. Foot coverings stay on so nothing gets tracked across a new floor or carpet, and the routine does not change between a new coastal house, a gallery renovation and an office expansion.

Working in Stages

Cleaning in Stages Alongside Builders and Designers

We plan the cleanup with the builder, designer or project manager, so it can run in stages and a finished room is cleaned while the trades are still working elsewhere in the house. Crews are sized to the job, from a single bathroom remodel to a full commercial build, which keeps the schedule on track without anyone rushing through the last rooms.

Every room runs through a checklist, and every surface is checked three times for streaks, debris and anything else left behind, with the white glove test as the standard. The construction contractor signs off each area as it is cleaned, so you always know which rooms are done.

  • Staged Cleaningrooms done as trades finish
  • Builders and Designersone schedule to work from
  • Scaled Crewsone bath to a full build
  • Room Checklistevery detail covered
  • Triple Checkthe white glove standard

Floors and Coverage

New Floors, Skylights and the Insurance Contractors Ask For

Floors get the full treatment at the end. We scrub, seal and buff hard floors, give new carpet a truck-mounted steam clean, and work on surfaces from granite and terrazzo to parquet, Marmoleum and linoleum. Windows, runners and sills are washed with the paint and stickers taken off, and skylights and hard-to-reach windows are cleaned without scratching the glass.

Kelly holds a California business license, keeps workers compensation on every crew, and is insured for $2,000,000 in liability with an additional $2,000,000 umbrella policy. Each site is fully supervised, we bring the protective materials, equipment and chemicals, and a list of our clients is available on request.

Edgar and Randy did an amazing job! The carpet was in a rental and was a mess. We thought we would TRY cleaning it but didn't think it could come clean. They took their time and made it like new!
