Post-Construction Cleaning St. Louis
Post-Construction Cleaning St. Louis demands more than standard janitorial—from new builds in St. Charles County and Chesterfield Valley to luxury renovations in Ladue and Town and Country, our Silica Dust Remediation & 3-Phase Protocol ensures occupancy-ready results.
Our 3-Phase Protocol covers everything from Adhesive Removal to final punch—delivering a Hygiene Clearance Report that confirms occupancy readiness. HEPA H13 filtration (99.97% at 0.3 microns). 275°F steam sanitization. Negative air containment. COI available same-day. We're the "Special Ops" of post-construction cleanup.
Why Post-Construction Cleaning St. Louis Requires a 3-Phase Protocol
Developed for St. Louis's top builders. Each phase builds on the last for a pristine handoff.
Rough Clean
During Construction
- Remove large debris & construction waste
- Sweep/vacuum all surfaces
- Wipe down fixtures
- Clear pathways for next trades
Detail Clean
After Fixtures Installed
- HEPA vacuum all surfaces (prevents the Settling Error—dust reappearance after 24h)
- Surface-safe protocols for Quartzite countertops and Pella architectural glass (plastic-scraper only—no razor contact on tempered glass)
- Detail Wolf/Sub-Zero stainless steel and all fixtures & hardware
- Remove construction film & labels
Final Punch
Before Inspection
- White glove inspection
- Touch-up any missed areas
- Final dust extraction
- Polish all surfaces to handoff-ready

Standard vacuums recirculate silica. We solve "The Settling Error"—where dust reappears 24 hours later—using HEPA-filtered extraction with Negative Air principles to capture particulates permanently, not just spread them.
Negative Air Containment
We create negative pressure to pull dust toward filters, not spread it through HVAC systems.
True HEPA Capture
99.97% filtration at 0.3 microns. Silica particles are trapped permanently, not recirculated.
Multi-Pass Protocol
We clean, wait 24 hours for dust to settle, then clean again. True elimination, not visual improvement.
The Science Behind Our Clean
We don't just clean surfaces—we extract contaminants at the particle level. Medical-grade HEPA filtration combined with systematic protocols ensures complete removal of construction dust, allergens, and airborne hazards.
HEPA-Certified Filtration
99.97% @ 0.3μmTrue HEPA certification—not "HEPA-style." Captures microscopic particles that standard vacuums recirculate into the air.
Negative Air Containment
500+ CFMCreates sealed work zones with negative pressure. Prevents cross-contamination in occupied buildings during extraction.
Commercial Extraction
400 CFM Airflow4x the suction of household vacuums. Removes embedded debris from carpet fibers, upholstery, and hard-to-reach areas.
Multi-Stage Filtration
4-Stage SystemPre-filter, main filter, HEPA, and activated carbon. Captures dust, allergens, VOCs, and odors in a single pass.
What We Extract
| Particle Type | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Drywall Dust | Respiratory irritation, HVAC contamination |
| Crystalline Silica | OSHA-regulated lung hazard |
| Wood Particulates | Allergen, embedded in soft surfaces |
| Paint & Coating Dust | VOCs, surface contamination |
Our HEPA systems capture all particle types down to 0.3 microns—smaller than most bacteria.

How much does post-construction cleaning cost in St. Louis?
Post-construction cleaning costs vary based on project size and scope. Typical rates are 1.5x standard residential cleaning prices due to the additional time and specialized equipment required. Small renovations start around $400-600, while new construction homes range from $800-2,500+. Contact us for a custom quote based on your specific project.
What equipment do you use for construction dust removal?
We use industrial-grade equipment including True HEPA vacuums (99.97% filtration at 0.3 microns), negative air machines for containment, 275°F steam cleaners for chemical-free sanitization, and professional-grade microfiber systems.
Do you provide COI (Certificate of Insurance) for contractors?
Yes, we provide Certificates of Insurance on demand for all contractor partnerships. We carry $2M general liability coverage, workers' compensation, and commercial auto insurance. COIs can typically be issued same-day.
How soon can you clean after construction is complete?
We offer same-day and next-day scheduling for post-construction cleaning in St. Louis. For best results, we recommend scheduling Phase 1 during construction, Phase 2 after fixtures are installed, and Phase 3 24-48 hours before walkthrough or inspection.
