Drywall Dust Removal
Drywall dust is fine enough to pass through standard vacuums and settle back on surfaces. We use HEPA vacuums to pull it from floors, vents, shelves, and window sills before wet cleaning begins.

Builder dust does not disappear when the crew leaves. Drywall dust, grout haze, and sticker residue need a dedicated clean before you move in.

Why Builder Clean-Up Is Never Enough
Contractors do a rough wipe-down at the end of a project. It removes large debris. It does not remove drywall dust from vents, grout haze from tile, or adhesive sticker residue from fixtures and glass. In Tucson, desert dust adds another layer on top. Alex's Cleaning Service handles post-construction cleans as part of our move-in package. Move-In cleaning starts at $379 for a 1-bedroom home. A crew of 3 to 4 people works through a structured checklist so nothing is missed before you settle in.
Grout Haze on Tile
Grout haze is a thin film that spreads across tile during installation. It dulls the surface and traps future dirt. We treat it with the right product and scrub without damaging the tile.
Sticker and Label Removal
New fixtures, windows, and appliances come with adhesive labels. Leaving them creates sticky residue that traps dust for years. We remove all labels and clean the surface underneath.

Tucson-Specific Construction Cleaning Notes
Tucson construction sites collect caliche dust from grading and excavation. That fine, calcium-rich soil drifts inside through open doors and windows during the build. It bonds to wet surfaces like grout, fresh paint, and adhesives. Standard mopping does not dissolve it. A deep scrub with the right cleaner is needed.
Add-ons available for post-construction cleans include inside fridge cleaning at $50, inside oven at $50, interior window cleaning at $100, and inside cabinets at $100. Heavy-soil situations add $150. Alex's Move-In pricing: $379 for 1 bedroom, $499 for 2 bedrooms, $649 for 3 bedrooms.
Post Construction Cleaning Checklist Tucson FAQ
How is post-construction cleaning different from a standard deep clean?
Post-construction cleaning targets construction-specific residue: drywall dust, grout haze, adhesive stickers, and debris from cutting and drilling. A standard deep clean assumes the home is already lived in.
Do I need to do anything before the crew arrives?
Remove any large debris or leftover materials. Clear a path for the crew. We handle all cleaning tasks from that point forward.
How long does a post-construction clean take?
A 3-bedroom home typically takes 5 to 7 hours with a crew of 3 to 4 people. The exact time depends on the level of construction residue left behind.
