Renovating a business or facility is a challenging task! For many business owners, planning out a renovation or facility change may involve temporally closing or reducing your services during construction, which can affect your revenue. So you might be tempted to open back up as soon as the construction work is finished, but that would be a mistake. After a renovation, all the dust, dirt, and debris build up requires the services of a professional cleaning team. It’s a process called post-construction cleaning, which is much more involved than you think.
Post-construction cleaning is much more than dusting off drywall dust and vacuuming debris from the construction process. A professional cleaning team with post-construction cleaning training knows how to safely clean up a former construction site and ensure that the new build looks its best when it’s done. It’s not a job we recommend doing on your own, so here are a few reasons you need to hire a professional team after your next renovation.
- Safety: Construction sites can be very unsafe. It’s not uncommon for stray nails, screws, glass shards, and equipment to lie around. A post-construction cleaning crew has the safety training to navigate the site with the proper PPE equipment and remove all safety hazards as they clean.
- Construction dust: Dust from the building process is very dangerous. It may contain sawdust, metal fillings, drywall, or cement dust. These materials contain allergies and volatile organic chemicals (VOC) and require special care to remove during the cleaning process. A post-construction team has the safety equipment and training to clean these materials safely.
- Garbage clean up: Disposing construction waste and garbage is not as simple as getting out a trash bag and bundling everything up. During the initial rough stage of the post-construction cleaning process, cleaners safely remove debris, trash, stickers, and more from the construction process and dispose of it according to local garbage pick-up regulations.
- Specialty cleaning: Another benefit of hiring a professional post-construction clean-up is that they know how to protect your new construction work as they clean. For example, marble flooring can be easily damaged by construction dust. But a post-construction team knows how to clean the dust off these floors and make them shine with specialty cleaning tools and practices. If you want your new build to look as good as possible, you’ll want the expertise of a post-construction cleaning crew.
- Finishing touches: After the initial big clean of your construction site, you’ll probably have a walk-through to see all the new build changes. Once that process is done, a post-construction cleaning team can go back in and make everything shine. They’ll remove fingerprints, footprints, and any remaining dust and make sure everything is sparkling and new so you can open the doors and show off your renovation to your customers!
