Overview
Cleaning up after Somerville's building boom
Somerville is one of the fastest-changing cities in the state. Triple-deckers are being converted to condos floor by floor. Kitchens and baths are being gutted in two-families on Spring Hill and Winter Hill. New buildings are rising along the Green Line Extension and around Union Square. Every one of those projects leaves drywall dust, sawdust, grout haze, and adhesive on every surface, and the deadline is often a tenant or buyer arriving on the first of the month.
Our post-construction clean is sequenced to capture dust rather than move it: HEPA vacuuming from ceiling to floor throughout the unit first, then wiping walls, trim, and every horizontal surface. New cabinets are cleaned inside and out. Grout haze comes off new tile. Film and adhesive come off fixtures and appliances. Original hardwood is dry-vacuumed and passed with a wood-safe solution. Rear kitchens and back halls in triple-deckers get full attention. Radiators and vent covers are cleaned because they shed dust for days.
Somerville projects run on tight timelines, and September 1 final cleans should be booked three weeks ahead. We coordinate rough, final, and touch-up passes with contractors, developers, and landlords, provide insurance certificates, and invoice as directed. Permit parking and stairs are planned for and never appear on the quote. Quotes are per project, based on square footage and scope, from photos or a walkthrough.

When to book
Projects we clean up after in Somerville
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.
Why us

HEPA equipment, dust-first sequence

Rough, final, and touch-up passes
Dust settles for days. Quotes account for more than one visit when the project needs it.
- 03
Careful with new finishes
Fresh grout, unsealed stone, and newly finished wood get products matched to them.
- 04
Contractor paperwork ready
Certificates of insurance, W-9s, and invoices to the GC or management company are routine.

Reviews
What neighbors say after the first visit
“Left a triple-decker apartment after four years. The landlord walked through, opened the oven, checked the tub, and handed back the full deposit on the spot.”
“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.”
