Why Construction Dust Travels Farther

In Ojai’s dry weather, construction dust stays in the air and drifts into rooms nobody worked in. It settles into cracks, sits on ledges, baseboards and light fixtures, and collects in vents and window frames, and a broom only moves it from one room to the next.

The rest of the mess is easier to see: glue hardening on glass and tile, paint spots on handles and fixtures, and the nails, screws and glass fragments that end up in corners. We clear all of it, so the room is safe to walk into.

Process and Sign-Off

Room Checklists and Contractor Sign-Off on Job Sites

We work each room from a checklist, and every surface gets three passes for streaks, dust and anything the trades missed, with the white glove test as the finish line. HEPA filtered vacuums capture the fine particles, microfiber cloths go on new cabinets, counters and fixtures, and the crew wears foot coverings so nothing is tracked onto a finished floor.

The construction contractor signs off each area as we complete it. At the final walkthrough, builders, inspectors and buyers look for the same things: streaky windows, dusty vents and glue on the countertops. We work to your schedule so the space is ready before that walkthrough.

Properties

Cleanup After Hotel, Shop and Home Renovations

Ojai is a tourism town known for its boutique hotels, and its shops are independent because chain stores are prohibited by city ordinance. A Mission-style arcade runs along the main street, and the 306-room Ojai Valley Inn opened in 1923 on 220 acres. A hotel or shop renovation usually has a reopening date to hit.

Crews are sized to finish on time without rushing, and every site is fully supervised. We carry $2,000,000 in liability insurance with a $2,000,000 umbrella, workers compensation and a California business license. Prevailing wages are available on government projects by request, and so is a client list.

  • Hotel Renovationsrooms ready for guests
  • Shop Build-Outsstorefronts ready to open
  • Home Remodelsone room or the whole house
  • $2,000,000 Liabilityplus a $2,000,000 umbrella

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!

Talk to the family-owned team that has been cleaning homes and businesses in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties since 1978. Quotes are free and most estimates can be scheduled the same week.

How much does post-construction cleaning cost in Ojai?

Price depends on the size of the job and the condition of what we are cleaning, so every post-construction cleaning job in Ojai is quoted on its own, free, by calling (805) 644-5308 or requesting one online, and first-time customers in Ojai take 10% off.

What does a quick sweep miss after a remodel?

Fine dust on ledges and vent covers, glue on glass and tile, paint spots on handles, and sharp debris like nails and glass fragments.

Are paint and stickers taken off the new glass on a build?

Yes. Paint and stickers come off the windows, runners and sills, and skylights and other high glass are cleaned without scratching. For glass cleaning after move-in, see our Ojai window cleaning page.

What insurance does Kelly carry on construction cleanup?

Liability coverage of $2,000,000, backed by a $2,000,000 umbrella policy, along with workers compensation for every crew and a California business license.

Can you clean the new floors and carpet in a renovation?

Yes. Hard floors from Marmoleum to terrazzo are scrubbed, sealed or buffed to suit the material, and new carpet is steam cleaned with truck-mounted equipment.

Do you take small home remodels as well as commercial builds?

Yes. Crews scale from a single bathroom remodel to a full commercial build. Once a shop or office is open, its routine cleaning falls under commercial cleaning in Ojai.

Are the air ducts cleaned during a construction cleanup?

Vent covers are dusted. Cleaning inside the ductwork is a separate RotoBrush service; see our Ojai air duct cleaning page.
