Dust control
Dust control while the build is still running
Sanding, tile cutting and demolition leave dust that finds every shelf. A rough clean between trades keeps it from settling in, so the final clean is about glass, not grit.
What you get
Floors clean before flooring goes down
Surfaces wiped before paint
A visit when a trade finishes, not on a fixed day

Bulk debris and packaging
These go to your contractor's dumpster before we start.

Weekly site visits
A standing weekly clean for a long build is quoted as a plan, with its own scope.
How the number is made
What decides the price
The stage, the square footage and how much dust the trades are still making.
Stage: demolition, drywall, paint or flooring
Square feet and floors
Trades still working during the visit
What the estimate includes, and what it doesn't
A written scope lists the rooms, the stage and the number of visits. It covers labor and equipment, and leaves out debris hauling.
What happens at the visit
Anabel walks the site, notes what the trades still have to do, and photographs the dust before we start.
If the job changes
A build runs long. If the schedule moves, we move the visit and price any extra stage in writing before we do it.
When you get the number
In writing within two business days of the walkthrough, per visit.

Questions about this clean
Is a rough clean worth it?
It depends on the build. Most remodelers book one before paint and another before flooring, where dust costs the most.
What if the house was built before 1978?
Ask your contractor whether the work disturbed lead paint. Work that disturbs lead paint belongs to the contractor's own lead-trained crew. We clean up after it to the contractor's plan, and we don't test for lead.
Do you work while the trades are there?
Yes, in rooms they are finished with. We keep out of an active work area.
Send the schedule
Tell us the stage and the trades still on site. Deja writes back with a time for the site walk.
We reply by the end of the next business day.
