Post Construction Cleaning That Supports Safety, Timelines, and Turnover Readiness
Post construction cleaning is not just about appearance. It directly affects safety, final inspections, and how quickly you can turn the building over. Construction dust, debris, and residue create risk, damage new finishes, and slow down approvals. At Stathakis, we deliver structured post construction cleaning programs that move your project from “substantially complete” to “ready for occupancy” without setbacks. Our safety performance supports this approach—from foremen with OSHA 30-hour cards to a year-over-year zero lost-time record.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does post construction cleaning include?
Post construction cleaning prepares a building for occupancy after construction or renovation. Our scope covers rough cleaning to clear debris, packaging, and large materials; final cleaning of floors, fixtures, surfaces, glass, and high-touch areas; detail cleaning for presentation; HEPA dust control; and floor care and finishing on newly installed flooring. The exact combination is set for your project during the walkthrough.
How is post construction cleaning different from regular commercial cleaning?
It is far more intensive. Instead of maintaining an occupied space, we are removing construction debris, fine dust, and residue while protecting brand-new surfaces that damage easily. That requires different equipment, trained crews, and a staged process — rough, detail, then final — rather than a single cleaning pass.
Why does post construction cleaning matter before occupancy?
A building is not ready when construction ends; it is ready when it is clean and safe to use. Cleaning removes hazardous dust and debris, supports inspection and approval requirements, protects new finishes from damage, and creates an environment that is safe for employees, tenants, and visitors on day one.
What types of facilities do you clean after construction?
We work on commercial office buildings, healthcare and medical facilities, manufacturing and industrial buildings, schools and educational facilities, and multi-tenant and mixed-use properties. Post construction cleaning services are available across Michigan and Northern Ohio.
Can cleaning be scheduled around our construction timeline, and what if the schedule shifts?
Yes. Cleaning is planned around your construction milestones, inspections, and occupancy dates rather than dropped in at the end. Construction schedules move, and our scheduling is built to adapt — we coordinate with your site leadership so cleaning stays aligned with actual project progress as dates change.
How long does post construction cleaning take?
It depends on the size of the project, the condition of the site, and the scope required. A small build-out moves quickly, while a large or multi-phase facility needs more coordination and more stages. A walkthrough is the most reliable way to establish an accurate schedule for your project.
How do you keep construction dust from reappearing after cleaning?
Fine construction dust settles in stages, which is why a single cleaning pass rarely holds. We use HEPA vacuuming and structured dust removal from hard-to-reach areas, and we sequence the work so dust control happens at the right points in the process rather than all at once at the end.
How do you handle safety and compliance on an active job site?
Our teams follow OSHA-aligned safety practices, site-specific cleaning procedures, and PPE appropriate to the conditions on your site. Hazard awareness and risk reduction are built into how crews work, so cleaning supports site safety and compliance instead of introducing new risks.
Do you work directly with general contractors and project managers?
Yes. We coordinate directly with general contractors, project managers, and site supervisors on scope, schedule, and turnover deadlines. That includes multi-phase and large-scale projects, where crews and scope are coordinated across different stages so each phase is ready for inspection and occupancy on time.
Do you provide inspection documentation for project closeout?
Yes. We use digital inspection tracking, issue identification and resolution, and documented reporting to confirm cleaning was completed to scope. That record gives contractors, facility managers, and stakeholders clear evidence for closeout and helps keep accountability straightforward at turnover.
Do you use subcontractors or 1099 labor?
No. Stathakis uses W2 employees only and never 1099 labor. That gives you better accountability, consistent training, real supervision, and control on an active job site — which matters more on construction projects than almost anywhere else.
