Why Builder Cleaning Isn't Enough

You've invested in a beautiful new Decatur home or renovation. The builder's crew swept up, wiped down counters, and it looks ready. But here's what they left behind:

  • Fine drywall dust embedded in your HVAC system—circulating through your home every time the air runs
  • Construction residue inside every cabinet, drawer, and closet
  • Window tracks and sills packed with dust and debris
  • Light fixtures and ceiling fans coated in fine particles
  • Appliance interiors that haven't been cleaned at all

This dust doesn't just disappear—it settles on your furniture, affects air quality, and can trigger allergies for months. Professional post-construction cleaning removes it properly, so you can enjoy your new space from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about post-construction cleaning in Decatur

Why does my new Decatur home need post-construction cleaning?
Even quality builders leave behind fine drywall dust that embeds everywhere—inside cabinets, HVAC systems, window tracks, and surfaces. This dust circulates through your home for months if not properly removed. Builder cleaning typically addresses only visible surfaces, not the detailed cleaning needed for a truly move-in ready home.
How much does post-construction cleaning cost in Decatur?
Post-construction cleaning in Decatur typically starts at $350 for smaller homes and renovations. Average new construction homes (1,800-2,500 sq ft) typically cost $400-$600. Larger custom homes may cost $600-$800+. Pricing depends on square footage, construction type, and condition. Call (256) 856-1006 for a free quote.
What's the difference between builder cleaning and professional post-construction cleaning?
Builder cleaning is basic—sweeping floors, wiping visible surfaces, removing large debris. Professional post-construction cleaning is thorough—inside every cabinet, every HVAC vent, window tracks, appliance interiors, light fixtures, and all the places where fine dust settles and hides.
Do you serve new construction in Priceville and Hartselle?
Yes! We serve new construction and renovation projects throughout Morgan County including Decatur, Austin, Priceville, Hartselle, Trinity, and Moulton. These growing areas have significant new home construction we regularly service.
When should I schedule post-construction cleaning?
Schedule after all construction is complete but before moving in or final walkthrough. Ideally, book 1-2 weeks before your move-in date. We can also clean after the builder's crew has done their basic cleaning—we'll address everything they missed.
How long does post-construction cleaning take?
Typical Decatur homes (1,800-2,500 sq ft) take 6-10 hours for thorough post-construction cleaning. Larger homes or those with extensive custom features may take 10-14+ hours. We provide time estimates with your quote.
Do you clean after renovations and remodels too?
Absolutely! Kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, room additions, and whole-home renovations all create the same fine dust problems as new construction. We provide the same detailed cleaning for any renovation project.
Can you clean homes with high ceilings and custom features?
Yes! We have equipment and experience for homes with high ceilings, custom millwork, specialty fixtures, and architectural details. We take extra care with custom features while ensuring thorough dust removal.

The Decatur post-construction problem — and your real options

After a renovation, fine construction dust is in everything — vents, tracks, every surface — and it keeps resettling for days. Regular cleaning just spreads it around; this needs a specific multi-stage process.

Clean it yourself

Without the right tools, dust resettles for a week and ends up in your HVAC. It's a job that fights back.

Your contractor's 'broom clean'

Gets the debris out, but leaves the fine dust film that makes a finished home still feel unfinished.

The Valley Clean Team

A multi-stage dust-removal clean — top to bottom, vents and tracks included — that takes a job-site to move-in ready.
