Post-construction cleaning that gets you to certificate of occupancy
Drywall dust gets into everything. So does grout haze, paint over-spray, adhesive residue, and the fine particulate that makes a brand-new space feel anything but new. Tidy Guys runs post-construction cleaning programs for Nashville general contractors, developers, and renovation crews — turning finished construction into move-in-ready space.
The three phases of post-construction cleaning
Rough Clean
Done after framing and rough-ins are complete, before finish work. Removes large debris, sweeps and vacuums dust, gets the site clean enough for finish trades to work efficiently.
Final Clean
The big one. Done after finish work is complete and before turnover. Includes:
- Full vacuum and detail-clean of every floor
- Drywall dust wipedown on every horizontal and vertical surface
- Window cleaning interior and exterior (if accessible)
- Glass partitions, mirrors, fixtures
- Bathroom and kitchen detail cleans — fixtures, cabinets, drawers, hardware
- Light fixtures, vents, ceiling tiles
- Doors, trim, baseboards, switches, outlets
- Sticker and adhesive residue removal
- Grout haze and tile cleanup
- Paint over-spray cleanup
Touch-Up Clean
The last pass before the client walks the building. Done after punch list, after the finish-trade re-visits, just before turnover. We re-clean any surface that's been touched since the final clean.
