Overview
Cleaning up after a Back Bay renovation
Renovating in Back Bay means working inside a nineteenth-century brownstone, and opening a wall releases plaster dust that is finer and more pervasive than modern drywall compound. It settles into parquet seams, plaster ridges, radiator fins, and every cabinet in the unit, and it keeps settling for days after the contractor leaves. Our post-construction clean is sequenced for it: HEPA vacuuming from ceiling to floor before anything is wiped, so dust is captured rather than pushed around.
The finishes that survived the renovation need protection during the cleanup. Original parquet is dry-vacuumed and then passed with a barely damp, wood-safe solution. Marble mantels and new stone counters get pH-neutral cleaner. New tile gets grout haze removed with the correct product for the grout type. Fixtures have protective film and adhesive removed. Tall windows facing the Mall are cleared of stickers, paint specks, and film and finished streak-free.
Back Bay projects usually happen inside managed buildings or shared brownstones, and our coordinators handle insurance certificates, freight elevator bookings, and debris staging rules with management. Most projects need a rough clean after the trades finish and a final clean after the punch list, with a touch-up pass once the building's HVAC has cycled the settled dust. Quotes are per project, based on square footage and scope, from photos or a walkthrough.

When to book
Projects we clean up after in Back Bay
Kitchen or bathroom remodel
Grout haze on new tile, dust inside new cabinets, and adhesive on fixtures all need removal before the room is usable.
Whole-unit or whole-home renovation
Multiple trades and weeks of dust. A rough clean mid-project and a final clean after the punch list keep the timeline on track.
New construction handover
Film removal, glass detailing, and spotless floors before a client walkthrough or closing.
Floors, paint, or windows only
Even a single-trade project leaves residue that ordinary cleaning spreads around. One visit tuned to the work done.

Reviews
What neighbors say after the first visit
“Fourth-floor walk-up on Marlborough Street. They brought everything up themselves, cleaned the whole unit in ninety minutes, and left the hardwood streak-free.”
“Two people arrive every other Thursday, work through the whole house in about two hours, and the kitchen looks the way it did the day we moved in. I have stopped thinking about cleaning entirely.”
“My building has strict elevator rules and they handled the check-in with the concierge without me being there. Floor-to-ceiling windows spotless, no streaks. That alone was worth it.”
