Post-renovation cleaning
Construction dust is not dirt. It is ground stone, and it keeps coming back.
Post-construction cleaning in Toronto and across the GTA, after a renovation or a new build. Three passes, top down, until the dust stops reappearing on the day you finish.

We do post-construction cleaning in Toronto for homeowners after a kitchen or a bathroom, and for builders and contractors at handover.
What you are actually removing
Renovation dust is not household soil. It is ground mineral, mostly gypsum from drywall, with silica from cut tile, sawdust and paint solids mixed in. The particles are light, hard and electrostatic. They stay in the air long after the saw stops, they cling to painted walls, and they scratch, so dry-dusting a new worktop is how a brand new surface gets its first marks.
That is why a single clean never holds. The room looks finished at five o'clock, and by the next morning there is a grey film on the windowsill again.
What a post-construction clean covers
We work ceilings to floor, the whole property before we repeat any of it, and we come back for a second and third pass once the air has settled.
- Dust off every surface, walls and trim included, HEPA vacuumed and then wet wiped
- Inside cabinets, cupboards and drawers
- Vents, return grilles and filter housings
- Windows, frames, tracks and sills
- Light fittings, fixtures and the tops of door frames
- Floors last, finished to suit the material
If you want to tackle a small job yourself first, here is how to clean construction dust properly.
For builders and contractors
Handover cleans on new builds and renovations, condo suites before closing, and commercial fit-outs before the tenant moves in. Send us the trade schedule and we book in after the last trade, not between them, so nobody pays for the same dust twice. If a snag list is still open, tell us, and we will leave the rooms that are still being worked on.
Price, and where we work
The price is confirmed before we start, and it comes down to the size of the place, the scale of the work and how much of it was wet trades. What moves it is in our post-renovation cleaning cost guide. We cover Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Vaughan and Woodbridge, Richmond Hill and Markham. Call 647-697-7435 for a quote.
One honest limit. We clean. We do not repair, touch up paint or polish out scratches that were there before we arrived, and we will point them out rather than leave you to find them.
How it goes
The order of work.
Clear the debris
Offcuts, tape, packaging, paint tins and the fine rubble in the corners. Nothing can be cleaned while there is still material on the floor.
High level first
Ceilings, light fittings, door frames, trim, tops of cupboards and window reveals. Working top down means the dust we dislodge lands on surfaces we have not done yet.
HEPA vacuum everything
Walls included. Drywall dust clings to paint. A HEPA filter matters here because a standard vacuum exhausts the finest particles straight back into the room.
Wet wipe and glass
Every horizontal surface wiped, not dusted, so the residue leaves the room on a cloth. Windows, mirrors and tracks last, because they show every mistake.
Second and third pass
We come back over the whole place after it has settled. The dust that reappears on the first pass is the dust that would otherwise greet your client on handover day.

The jobs, in their words.
We had our basement renovated and the dust was absolutely everywhere, i didnt think we would ever get rid of it. My husband hired the AllCleaner team to come in, and I was really impressed with them. They arrived on time, got straight to work and got everything cleaned and spotless. I should have had them come in as soon as construction was over. Most importantly - they were really quiet. I have a baby that sleeps through the day, and their work didn't interfere with her sleep schedule at all. I highly recommend them!
Olya Y.I've tried a few cleaning companies before, but these guys are on another level. After my condo renovation, there was dust in every corner. AllCleaner made it spotless in just a few hours.
Erez K.Our contractor recommended AllCleaner after finishing our home renovation, and now I see why. They worked so carefully and even cleaned the windows and trim. Super happy with the results.
Boris P.We hired AllCleaner after our condo renovation and they were amazing. They cleaned every corner - even the vents and inside the cabinets. The air felt fresher right away. Totally worth it!
ElanI called AllCleaner after my townhouse renovation, dust everywhere! They showed up on time, worked quietly, and left the place shining. Definitely 5 stars.
Mark G.We are thrilled with the outstanding carpet cleaning service! The difference is remarkable, and we greatly appreciate your expertise.

How much does post-construction cleaning cost in Toronto?
It depends on the size of the place, how much of it was worked on, what kind of work it was and how well the dust was contained. We confirm the price before we start. Our post-renovation cleaning cost guide for Toronto goes through what moves the figure up or down.
How long does it take?
Longer than a deep clean of the same place, because of the high level work and the repeat passes. A suite with one room of work is a different day from a whole house after a gut. We give you the timing with the quote, once we know the size and what was done.
Do you clean before move-in or before closing?
Yes. That is the right moment for it, after the last trade and before the furniture, the boxes or the buyer arrive. Tell us the move-in or closing date when you book and we will plan the passes around it.
Do you work with builders?
Yes. Builders, contractors and property managers book us for handover cleans on new builds, renovations and commercial fit-outs. Send us the trade schedule and we will book in after the last trade, not between them.
Why does the dust keep coming back?
Because it was never dirt. Drywall, mortar and cut tile produce a fine mineral powder light enough to stay airborne for hours after the trades have gone home, and it settles slowly over the following days. One pass lands on a room that is still raining dust. That is the whole reason we build the second and third passes into the price instead of selling them to you later.
Can you work before the trades are finished?
We would rather not, beyond a rough clear-down. A final clean before the last bit of sanding or caulking is money spent twice. Book us for after the last trade leaves, and tell us if a snag list is still open.
What about the heating and cooling system?
It matters more than anything else on the list. A system running during the works has pulled dust through the returns and into the ducts, and it will redistribute it for months. We clean the grilles, the returns and the filter housings, and we will tell you honestly if you need a duct specialist rather than us.
