Overview
Finishing a Charlestown renovation properly
Charlestown's townhouses are renovated constantly, often gutted to the brick and rebuilt with modern kitchens and baths while keeping original floors and mantels. Navy Yard condos see kitchen and bath remodels within strict building rules. Both produce fine dust that settles everywhere: into exposed brick, onto pine floors, across harbor-facing glass, inside new cabinets. Our post-construction clean is sequenced to capture it with HEPA equipment before anything is wiped.
The finishes need the right treatment during cleanup. Exposed brick is HEPA-vacuumed with a brush head and spot cleaned with a pH-neutral solution. Pine floors are dry-vacuumed and then passed with a wood-safe solution. New stone counters get pH-neutral cleaner. New tile gets grout haze removed. Harbor-facing glass in the Navy Yard is cleared of stickers and paint specks and finished streak-free. Film and adhesive come off fixtures and appliances. Vent covers are cleaned because ducts shed dust for days.
Navy Yard projects require insurance certificates, freight elevator bookings, and debris staging rules, which our coordinators handle with management. Hillside projects require a parking plan on narrow permit streets, which we handle without it affecting the quote. Most projects need a rough clean, a final clean after the punch list, and a touch-up pass. Quotes are per project, based on square footage and scope, from photos or a walkthrough.

When to book
Projects we clean up after in Charlestown
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
“After a kitchen gut renovation there was fine dust on every surface in the house. Two visits, one rough and one final, and the dust was genuinely gone, including inside the light fixtures.”
“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.”
