Post-construction and post-renovation cleaning in Burlington: from $270
New builds, renovations and handovers in Burlington: construction dust lifted with HEPA filtration and repeated passes, residue off glass and fixtures, every cupboard and closet cleaned inside, floors last. Priced by the home and confirmed after a walkthrough.
What makes post-construction cleaning in Burlington different?
Construction dust does not behave like dirt: it is fine enough to pass through an ordinary vacuum, it settles again for days, and it sits inside every cupboard, track, vent and light fixture. A post-construction clean uses HEPA filtration and repeated top-down passes, removes adhesive and protective-film residue from glass, appliances and fixtures, and finishes with the floors once everything above them is done. A different job: construction dust needs repeated passes, HEPA filtration and residue removal, so it is priced by the hour and confirmed after a walkthrough.
- Fine construction and drywall dust lifted in repeated top-down passes with HEPA filtration
- Sticker, adhesive and protective-film residue removed from glass, appliances and fixtures
- Grout haze and paint flecks removed where they can be lifted safely
- Window tracks, sills, frames, vents and light fixtures cleared of dust
- Inside all cupboards, closets and drawers, because they are full of dust, not belongings
- Floors vacuumed and washed last, once everything above them is done
What post-construction jobs does Heron take in Burlington?
Renovations in older stock, Condo and lakeshore handovers, Additions and basement finishes: post-war bungalows and split-levels in Aldershot and Roseland, family homes of the 1990s and 2000s in Millcroft, the Orchard and Alton Village, and the downtown and lakeshore condo buildings. The home is walked before it is quoted, because the dust level and the finish matter more than the square footage, and a second lighter visit after the last trade is often part of the plan.
Renovations in older stock
Aldershot bungalows, Roseland's larger homes and the split-levels of Burlington's older streets are renovated far more often than they are rebuilt. A renovation clean deals with the dust that reached every room, not just the kitchen or bathroom that was done.
Condo and lakeshore handovers
New and refurbished units downtown and along the lakeshore are cleaned before the furniture arrives: inside every cupboard and closet, tracks, fixtures, glass residue, then the floors.
Additions and basement finishes
A finished basement or a rear addition in Millcroft, the Orchard or Alton Village brings drywall and concrete dust up the stairs. The clean covers the new space and the path the dust took.

Post-construction questions
How much does post-construction cleaning cost in Burlington?
From $270 for a condo or small unit, $450 for a detached home under 2,500 sq ft and $650 at 2,500–4,000 sq ft, before HST; over 4,000 sq ft is quoted after a walkthrough. Hourly work is $45 per cleaner-hour with a 3-hour minimum. Every price is confirmed at the walkthrough because dust levels vary far more than a home's size.
Is a post-construction clean the same as a Deep clean?
No. A Deep clean lifts the buildup a lived-in home collects; a post-construction clean removes fine drywall and concrete dust that has settled in every track, vent, cupboard and fixture, with HEPA filtration and repeated passes. That is why it is priced by the home and the hour rather than as a Deep upgrade.
When should the clean happen?
After the contractor's final sweep and debris removal, before the furniture arrives. If trades are still finishing, the dust returns; a second lighter visit after the last trade is often the right plan, and we say so at the walkthrough.
Do you remove construction debris?
No. Larger offcuts, packaging and debris are the contractor's job. We clean what is left once the debris is gone: dust, residue, film, haze and the floors.
Are you insured?
Yes. Heron Cleaning carries $2 million commercial general liability insurance, underwritten by Tokio Marine Canada, for our cleaning and janitorial work. It covers our liability for bodily injury and property damage up to $2 million for any one incident and $5 million in total over the policy year, and the current policy runs to September 13, 2027. A certificate of insurance is available on request, and every cleaner is background-checked before their first visit.
