New construction house cleaning is essential for several reasons and offers numerous benefits:

A More Efficient and Safe Workplace

• Safety: Keeping the construction site clean reduces the risk of accidents and injuries by removing debris and potential hazards.
• Efficiency: A clean site allows workers to move more freely and efficiently, leading to faster completion times.
• Quality Control: Regular cleaning helps identify and address issues early, ensuring higher quality workmanship.
• Compliance: Clean sites are safer, help protect workers’ safety, and help reduce costs for everyone involved.

Benefits to the Homeowner

• Enhanced Appearance: A clean site provides a better visual representation of the project’s progress and final appearance.
• Higher Quality: A well-maintained site often results in a higher quality build, allowing for better inspection and attention to detail.
• Reduced Stress: Homeowners experience less stress and anxiety when they see their investment handled professionally and safely.
• Smooth Move-In: A thoroughly cleaned new home allows the homeowner to move in without the hassle of an initial deep cleaning.

Overall, new construction house cleaning ensures a safer, more efficient, and higher quality building process, ultimately benefiting the homeowner by delivering a superior final product.

New construction house cleaning differs from what many consider “residential cleaning.”

It consists of three phases: A Rough Clean, Maintenance Clean, and Final Clean.

1. Rough Clean

   The “rough” clean-up is performed once the exterior walls and framing of the project are complete. Large debris is removed from the interior as well as the exterior of the building. It generally involves a rough sweep/shop vac of the floors. The goal is to remove and haul away as much debris as possible, remove materials no longer being used, and eliminate as much dust as possible from the work area (including heating vents).

2. Maintenance Clean

   The “rough” clean-up is performed once the exterior walls and framing of the project are complete. Large debris is removed from the interior as well as the exterior of the building. It generally involves a rough sweep/shop vac of the floors. The goal is to remove and haul away as much debris as possible, remove materials no longer being used, and eliminate as much dust as possible from the work area (including heating vents).

3. Final Clean

   The “final” clean-up is performed once all the construction has ended and the building is complete. This phase is quite detailed:

   1. 1. Stickers and decals must be removed from all surfaces, including interior and exterior windows.
      2. Putty, paste, and adhesive are removed from floors, tubs, sinks, and showers.
      3. All cabinets and drawers must be vacuumed to remove the dust and then wiped clean.
      4. Floors and carpets are cleaned.
      5. Light fixtures, mirrors, appliances, counters, ceiling fans, vents, hardware, and cabinetry are cleaned.

   A touch-up is sometimes required at the end if a contractor needs to address something on a punch list.

The end result is a turn-key, walk-in-ready home. If you are looking for a reputable builder, don’t hesitate to contact me at Lakeshore Custom Homes at (231) 642-0724.
