It’s not an easy job, especially when you’re exhausted from the completion of the project. That’s where our construction cleanup checklist comes into play. When you’ve finished a renovation but you’re surrounded by dirt and debris, our checklist will help ensure that you don’t forget anything. Or, if you’re thinking about hiring a professional cleaner, our construction cleanup checklist will show you just how much work and stress you’ll be saving yourself.

Touch-Up cleaning is not required for all projects. Typically, it is done after a final cleaning because there has been a delay in the occupancy of the building or to touch up after a revisit of a returning contractor.
Whew! It’s a lot of work, but someone’s gotta do it. New construction or a renovation job can’t be fully enjoyed until the space is cleared out, cleaned up, and perfectly pristine. Some construction companies and facility managers take care of the cleanup themselves, but if you would like a superior cleanup job performed by a company with over twenty years of experience, consider contacting VISION Group Cleaning Services. By using a professional cleaning company, your crew can leave immediately after the construction work is finished. Plus, with our construction cleanup checklist, you know we’ll take care of every last chore.
