Post-construction and post-renovation cleaning in Milton: from $270
New builds, renovations and handovers in Milton: 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 Milton 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 Milton?
New-build handovers, Additions and renovations, Townhouse and condo completions: the subdivisions built since 2000 in Hawthorne Village, Beaty and Clarke, the older streets of Old Milton, and the new builds still going up in the south and west. 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.
New-build handovers
Milton's new subdivisions in the south and west hand over homes with drywall dust in every track and vent. The handover clean is done before the furniture arrives: cupboards inside, closets, tracks, fixtures, then the floors last.
Additions and renovations
A kitchen or basement renovation in Hawthorne Village or Beaty leaves dust through the whole house, not just the room. We clean the renovated rooms first and the dust that travelled second.
Townhouse and condo completions
Stacked towns and small condo buildings are handed over in batches; the clean is quicker per unit and the price starts at $270 for a condo or small unit.
How much does post-construction cleaning cost in Milton? From $270
From $270 for a condo or small unit up to about 900 sq ft, $450 for a detached home under 2,500 sq ft, $650 at 2,500–4,000 sq ft and a walkthrough quote above that, before HST; or $45 per cleaner-hour with a 3-hour minimum per cleaner, timed from arrival. Two cleaners for the minimum three hours is $270. Every price is confirmed after a walkthrough.

The ordinary residential add-ons do not apply; the scope is agreed at the walkthrough and written down before the visit. For a lived-in home that needs a reset rather than a handover, the Deep clean in Milton is priced by size from $148; for an empty home changing hands, see move-out cleaning in Milton and the move-out checklist.

Included: 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.

HEPA vacuums, the mop system, cloths and products come with the team. If trades are still on site, tell us; a clean done before the last trade leaves is a clean done twice.

Post-construction questions
How much does post-construction cleaning cost in Milton?
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.
