Why Post-Construction Cleaning Requires Specialists
You've probably noticed: the dust left behind from construction isn't normal dust. It's finer, it's everywhere, and it doesn't stop. Wipe a countertop in your new Fishers kitchen, come back an hour later, and there's a fresh film on it.
Drywall dust, sawdust and sanding dust are incredibly fine. They go airborne easily and settle in places regular cleaning never touches. They get into the furnace and the ductwork and redistribute through the whole house every time the air kicks on, which in an Indiana summer or January is constantly. They coat the insides of new cabinets, the tracks of new windows, the grooves of new flooring, and in a Meridian-Kessler or Irvington remodel, every bit of original trim and plaster in the rooms you weren't even working on.
Contractors and builders do a basic cleanup: sweep the floors, wipe the major surfaces, haul out the big debris. They're not in the business of detailed cleaning. Post-construction cleaning takes specific techniques, multiple passes, and attention to the places construction dust hides, whether it's a kitchen and bath remodel in a historic home, a basement finish in Carmel, or a new-build final clean before closing in Hamilton or Johnson County.

When to Book Post-Construction Cleaning
1After All Trades Are Complete
Schedule after every trade is finished, final inspections are done, and no more dust-generating work will happen. Cleaning before the last drywall sanding or trim cut means the dust comes right back.
2Before the Final Punch List Walk
If you have a final walk-through with your contractor or builder, having the space cleaned first makes it much easier to spot actual defects instead of dust covering them.
3Before Closing on a New Build
Closing on a new construction home in Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, Noblesville or Greenwood? Builder cleaning is notoriously minimal. Schedule the final clean between the builder's walk-through and moving day so you don't unpack into drywall dust.
4After a Kitchen or Bath Remodel
Kitchen remodel, bathroom update or room addition complete in a Meridian-Kessler Tudor or an Irvington bungalow? Renovation dust migrates through the whole house. We clean the renovated space plus every area the dust reached.
5After a Basement Finish
Finishing the basement is the most common project in Carmel and Fishers, and drywall dust from below rides the furnace ducts up to every floor. We clean the new lower level and the rooms upstairs that took the dust.

Why Indianapolis Contractors & Homeowners Choose Indianapolis Cleaning Service
We Understand Construction Dust
We know it's different from regular cleaning. We know it settles for days. We know it hides in vents, window tracks and crevices. We clean accordingly.
Multiple-Pass Process
We don't do one wipe and call it done. Our process includes a rough clean, a detail clean, and a touch-up as needed, because construction dust keeps settling.
Safe for New Surfaces
We know how to clean brand-new quartz and granite, fresh paint, new hardwood and LVP, and delicate fixtures without causing damage, and how to handle original plaster and woodwork in a historic home.
Contractor and Builder Partnerships
We work with Indianapolis remodelers and Hamilton and Johnson County builders who need reliable final cleans before closings and punch-list walks. Ask about our contractor rates.

What Our Customers Say
“Kitchen remodel in our 1920s Tudor left dust everywhere, even in the rooms we'd sealed off with plastic. They did multiple passes and got it out of the original built-ins and radiators. The contractor's cleanup was nothing compared to this.”
Julie K.
Meridian-Kessler
“Basement finish in our Village of WestClay house and the drywall dust came up through every vent. They cleaned the new lower level and every floor above it. Inside all the new cabinets, every surface, the returns, everything done properly.”
Aaron T.
Carmel
“New construction near Geist, builder said it was move-in ready. It wasn't. Dust in every vent, residue on the windows, screws and trim scraps in the closets. They made it actually ready before our closing.”
Danielle P.
Fishers
“Bathroom remodel in our Craftsman bungalow made more dust than I thought possible and it went through the whole house. They cleaned the bathroom and then traced the dust to every room it reached.”
Greg S.
Irvington
“Basement finishing project. The drywall dust was unreal. They understood that construction dust is different, finer and more persistent, and kept going until it was truly clean.”
Monica R.
Westfield

Victor L.
Plainfield
“Builder finished our Center Grove home and we couldn't stand to be in it, dust on everything. They transformed it. We moved in the same day they finished cleaning.”
Kelsey B.
Greenwood

Ethan M.

Sandra W.
Broad Ripple
“Built-in shelving project in our Old Town house left sawdust in every crevice. Regular cleaning wouldn't touch it. They understood the scope and did a proper post-construction clean. Night and day.”
Luis M.
Noblesville
“Paint overspray on the new floors, drywall dust on everything, adhesive residue on the counters. They addressed each problem with the right method. Our contractor should take notes.”
Amber D.

Post-Construction Cleaning FAQs
Yes. Post-construction cleaning specifically addresses drywall dust, adhesive residue, and new-build debris. It often takes multiple passes because construction dust keeps settling. Different mess, different approach.
Fine construction dust goes airborne and continues to settle for several days after the work ends, especially with a forced-air furnace or air conditioner running. This is normal. Some Indianapolis homeowners schedule a touch-up clean a few days after the initial one.
Absolutely, and again a week or two later. Construction dust fills filters fast. If the HVAC ran during a basement finish or a full remodel, you may also want professional duct cleaning.
We can carefully remove paint drips from hard surfaces if they'll come up without damage. Heavy paint or caulk problems may need to go back to your contractor.
It depends on scope and condition. A bathroom remodel in a Broad Ripple bungalow might take 2-3 hours. A basement finish or a new-build final clean in Carmel or Fishers might take 6-10+ hours, sometimes across multiple visits.
