Post Construction Cleaning New Orleans

The reason post construction cleaning New Orleans jobs go sideways is almost always the same: somebody books a regular house clean for a job that needs three passes. Sheetrock dust is the finest dust in the building trade. It gets into the top of every door casing, the tracks of every window, and the inside of every cabinet, and it keeps falling out of the air for days after the last cut.

So we work it in stages. First pass pulls the bulk — dust off every horizontal surface top-down, vents and returns wiped, cabinet interiors vacuumed out. Then the house sits and the air drops what's left. Second pass is detail: stickers off the windows and appliances, paint specks bladed off glass and tile, grout haze cleared, fixtures and hardware polished. Final pass is the one your client or your buyer actually sees — floors, glass, bathrooms, and a walk-through with fresh eyes.

One thing we do that most cleaners skip: change the HVAC filter at the end and wipe the registers. If the system ran during construction, that filter is packed, and the first time the AC kicks on it redistributes construction dust across the house you just paid to have cleaned.

Post construction cleaning New Orleans — what's included

Construction debris hauling stays with your contractor. We clean; we don't dumpster out lumber and drywall scrap.

Square footage, bathroom count, and condition drive it — and a post-construction job is priced as a heavy-condition clean, not a standard one. The estimator gives you a working number now.

Gut renovation, multiple units, or a builder needing rough + final on a schedule? Call (504) 315-8112 and we'll scope it properly.

Where we do renovation cleanup

• Mid-City & Bayou St. John — full gut jobs on doubles, where plaster dust is even finer than sheetrock and gets everywhere twice.
• Lakeview — raised builds and additions; stairs, elevated slabs, and a lot of new-construction sticker work.
• Uptown & the Garden District — kitchen and bath remodels dropped inside 100-year-old houses, where the new work has to be cleaned without wrecking the old floors around it.
• Bywater & Marigny — shotgun renovations, often on a tight schedule before a rental goes live.
• Metairie & Kenner — slab-home additions, kitchen remodels, and full flips.
• Mandeville & the Northshore — new construction and additions across the Causeway.

Timing matters here more than anywhere else. Book the final clean for after the last trade is out, not the day before the painter comes back for touch-ups — otherwise you're paying twice. If your punch list isn't closed yet, we'd rather do a dust pass now and a final clean later, and we'll say so instead of taking both bookings.

New Orleans humidity works against you on a fresh renovation too. Dust that settles in a house with no AC running turns into a film on new glass and stainless, and it doesn't wipe off dry. If the unit's live, run it; if it isn't, tell us and we'll bring what that job needs.

Contractors, flippers, and homeowners

NOLA Maid Easy runs out of 1400 Cleary Ave in Metairie, licensed and insured in Louisiana. Renovation permitting and inspections are the city's side of things — the New Orleans Department of Safety and Permits handles those; we come in when the work is done.

How to book it

1. Price the job. Estimator for a single home, a call for anything bigger or staged.
2. Set the date after the trades finish. We'll tell you honestly if it's too early to do a final.
3. Walk it with us. We'd rather fix a spot before we leave than hear about it after.

Post construction cleaning New Orleans — what people ask

Rough clean vs final clean — the schedule that saves money

Booking one clean for a job that needs two is the most expensive mistake on a renovation, because the second one ends up being a full-price redo. Here's how the passes actually sequence against your trades.

Small remodels — one kitchen, one bath — usually collapse into a single detail-plus-final visit. Gut jobs never do, and anyone telling you otherwise hasn't cleaned one.

What we need from your contractor

• Debris hauled first — lumber, packaging and drywall scrap gone before we arrive.
• Power and water on — no water means no final clean, only a dust pass.
• A spare HVAC filter on site — we swap it at the end so the system stops recirculating construction dust.
• Trades finished, including paint touch-ups — one painter coming back undoes a day of work.

Old New Orleans houses add one more wrinkle: plaster dust is finer than sheetrock dust and stays airborne longer. On a Mid-City or Uptown gut, we build an extra day between the detail pass and the final rather than pretending the air has settled.
