Post-Construction Cleaning in Bend, OR

Rough and final cleans for commercial builds and tenant improvements. We work to the handoff date, because that’s the only date that matters on this job.

Final post-construction cleaning of a new commercial space in Bend, Oregon — The final clean that gets a newly built space ready to hand over.

Who calls us

General contractors, project managers, property managers, business owners taking possession, and facility teams finishing a tenant improvement. Usually with a fixed date and not much slack in front of it.

The two cleans

Rough clean. After the major trades finish, before finish work. Construction debris out, gross dust removed, surfaces cleared so the finish trades can work. Not a presentation clean, a functional one.

Final clean. After everything is installed. This is the one that decides what the client thinks of the whole project when they walk in.

Some projects add a touch-up clean between final and the actual walkthrough, because a week of trades doing punch list work undoes a final clean.

Dust is the whole job

Everything else on that list is straightforward. Construction dust is not.

Drywall and joint compound dust is fine enough to stay airborne for days and it settles back onto surfaces you already cleaned. That’s why a proper final clean isn’t a single pass. It’s top-down, with time for airborne dust to settle before the final surfaces get done. Crews that do it in one pass leave a building that looks clean on the day and hazy the next morning, which is exactly when your client walks it.

Scheduling around your date

Tell us the handoff date and we’ll work backward. We’d rather know a week out that the trades are running behind than show up to a building that isn’t ready. Half a crew standing around costs everyone.

For projects with a hard opening (a restaurant, a clinic, a retail launch), build in a touch-up clean the morning of. It’s cheap insurance on a date you can’t move.

After the final clean

Most commercial spaces go straight onto a recurring janitorial schedule once they’re occupied, and it’s the natural time to start one. See janitorial services.
