Dust & debris

Fine Dust Gets Everywhere

Drywall and sawdust are much finer than everyday dust. We take more passes, with the right tools, so it's removed rather than moved.

  • Surfaces dusted top to bottom, including ledges and trim
  • Floors vacuumed and washed, with extra passes where needed
  • Vents, light fixtures and switches wiped down
  • Stickers, labels and residue removed from fixtures and appliances

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about post-construction cleaning with S&A in Vancouver, BC.

Still have a question? Get in touch

What is post-construction cleaning?

It is the detailed clean after renovation or building work. The builder clears debris, and we remove what is left: fine drywall and sawdust dust, residue and marks, from every surface, cabinet, window and floor, so the space is ready to move into.

How much does post-construction cleaning cost in Vancouver?

It depends on the size of the space, how dusty it is and how easy the access is. S&A books by the hour, from $130+ with a 3-hour minimum. Send us the details of the project and we'll help you estimate the time.

When should the final clean happen?

Once the trades have finished, and before you move furniture in. Empty rooms mean every corner gets done, and your new furniture won't start life covered in drywall dust. We'll plan the timing around your project.

How do you get drywall dust out of a house?

Drywall dust is very fine, so a quick wipe tends to smear it and an ordinary vacuum can put it back in the air. We work top to bottom with microfibre cloths and vacuums with fine filters, and make extra passes where the dust is heavy.

Do you clean after commercial renovations too?

Yes. We clean renovated homes, new condos and commercial spaces. Tell us about the space and what was done, and we'll plan the clean.

Will you damage my new finishes?

We choose products to suit each surface, because the wrong product can damage natural stone or new hardwood. If you have a surface that needs special care, tell us when you book.

Are your cleaners insured and background-checked?

Yes. S&A Cleaning Group is fully licensed and insured, and every member of our team completes a criminal and background check before employment.

Is S&A in Vancouver, BC or Vancouver, Washington?

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. S&A Cleaning Group serves Greater Vancouver, including Downtown, North, East, West and South Vancouver. We do not serve Vancouver, Washington. If you're nearby and not sure we cover your address, send us a message.
