What Builder Cleans Miss
Builders focus on debris removal. They do not tackle grout haze, adhesive residue on glass, fine drywall dust in corners, or the interiors of cabinets left open during the build.

Builders do a rough wipe-down at the end of a project. That is not the same as a move-in clean. Here is what the builder's final clean leaves behind.

Builder Final Clean vs. Move-In Clean
When a builder calls a home ready, they have removed large debris and done a surface wipe. What stays behind: drywall dust on shelves, grout haze on tile, adhesive sticker residue on windows and fixtures, and build grit on floors. In Tucson, caliche dust from grading adds another layer. Alex's handles the move-in clean phase. We come in after the builder leaves and before you move furniture in. Move-In cleaning starts at $379 for a 1-bedroom home, $499 for 2 bedrooms, and $649 for 3 bedrooms.
Why Caliche Dust Is Different
Tucson build sites produce caliche dust from grading. This calcium-rich soil bonds to wet areas like fresh grout and adhesive. Standard mopping spreads it. It needs a targeted scrub with the right cleaner.
Move-In vs. Builder Phase
Alex's handles both phases. If you are a buyer taking possession, book a move-in clean before your furniture arrives. If you are a builder or GC wanting a final-phase partner, call (520) 445-1061 to discuss project work.

Add-Ons Worth Considering for New Construction
New construction cleans often benefit from add-on services not part of a standard home clean. Inside fridge cleaning is $50. Inside oven cleaning is $50. Interior window cleaning is $100. Inside cabinet cleaning is $100. Heavy-soil situations, common after long build projects, add $150 to any base price.
Most new construction homes in Tucson have tile floors throughout. Tile is durable but grout lines trap build particles deeply. We do not use acidic cleaners on Saltillo tile, which is common in Tucson homes. If your home has Saltillo tile, mention it at booking so we bring the right products.
