Move-In Ready Construction Cleanup You Can Trust

When construction wraps up, your project isn't truly complete until the dust settles - literally. Top Dog Commercial Cleaning specializes in professional post-construction cleaning services throughout Southwest Florida, transforming construction sites into pristine, move-in ready spaces that contractors, builders, and property owners can be proud to deliver to their clients.

With North Port experiencing one of Florida's fastest construction booms, we've built our reputation on understanding exactly what contractors need: reliable teams who show up on schedule, thorough cleaning that passes final inspections, and flexible service that adapts to your constantly changing construction timelines. Whether you're completing a custom luxury home in Wellen Park, a commercial build-out in Port Charlotte, or a residential renovation in Venice, our licensed and insured team brings the professional-grade equipment and expertise to get your project inspection-ready, fast.

Unlike general cleaning companies, we specialize in the unique challenges of post-construction environments. We know how Florida's humidity affects drywall dust removal. We understand the difference between rough clean timing and final clean expectations. And we recognize that when you're facing a deadline, you need a cleaning partner who treats your schedule with the same urgency you do.

What's Included in Our Post-Construction Cleaning Services

Post-construction cleaning is far more intensive than regular janitorial service. Construction sites present unique challenges - from fine drywall dust that settles into every crevice to paint overspray, adhesive residue, and construction debris that requires specialized tools and techniques to remove properly.

Our comprehensive post-construction cleaning services include:

Debris & Dust Removal

• Large debris removal - disposal of construction waste, packaging materials, leftover trim, and scrap materials
• Fine dust elimination - HEPA-filtered vacuuming of drywall dust from all surfaces, baseboards, window sills, and hard-to-reach areas
• HVAC system cleaning - removal of construction dust from vents, registers, and return air grilles (critical in Florida's climate)

Surface Cleaning & Sanitizing

• Wall cleaning - removal of drywall dust, handprints, scuff marks, and construction residue from all painted walls
• Floor cleaning - specialized cleaning for tile, hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and carpet (including removal of grout haze and protective films)
• Countertop & cabinetry detailing - thorough cleaning and polishing of all kitchen and bathroom surfaces
• Fixture polishing - cleaning and buffing of light fixtures, hardware, faucets, and appliances

Window & Glass Cleaning

• Interior and exterior window cleaning - removal of paint overspray, stickers, labels, and construction film
• Glass door and shower cleaning - streak-free cleaning of all glass surfaces
• Mirror polishing - spotless finish on all mirrors and reflective surfaces

Detailed Final Touches

• Bathroom sanitization - complete cleaning of toilets, showers, tubs, sinks, and tile
• Kitchen deep clean - interior/exterior appliance cleaning, cabinet cleaning, sink polishing
• Baseboard & trim detailing - removal of dust, paint drips, and caulk residue
• Door & doorframe cleaning - removal of handprints, paint, and construction marks
• Light switch & outlet cleaning - removal of drywall dust and fingerprints from all electrical covers

Every surface is cleaned, every corner is detailed, and every space is left in pristine, move-in ready condition.

Our Proven 3-Phase Post-Construction Cleaning Process

Professional construction cleaning isn't a one-step process. Depending on your project timeline and contractor requirements, post-construction cleanup is typically performed in three distinct phases, each serving a specific purpose in the construction process.

Phase 1: Rough Clean (Initial Construction Cleanup)

When it's performed: After major construction work is complete but before final finishes (flooring, fixtures, trim) are installed. This typically happens after drywall, painting, and major trades have finished their work.

What we do: Rough cleaning focuses on removing the heavy construction debris and preparing the space for finishing work. Our team removes leftover building materials, sweeps and vacuums all surfaces to eliminate drywall dust, cleans windows of protective film and stickers, removes obvious paint drips and splatters, and cleans construction equipment residue from floors and surfaces.

Why it matters: Rough cleaning protects your final finishes from installation damage and creates a clean workspace for finishing trades. Installing expensive hardwood floors or premium fixtures in a debris-filled space leads to damage and costly replacements.

Cost: Rough cleaning is the most affordable phase, typically ranging from $0.15-$0.30 per square foot, as it focuses on large-scale debris removal rather than detailed finishing work.

Phase 2: Final Clean (Deep Cleaning & Detailing)

When it's performed: After 100% of construction work is complete - all floors installed, all fixtures mounted, all painting finished, and all trim in place. This happens just before the final walkthrough or move-in.

What we do: Final cleaning is comprehensive deep cleaning that addresses every detail. We perform intensive drywall dust removal from every surface (walls, ceilings, baseboards, window tracks, door frames), clean all windows inside and out until streak-free, deep clean and sanitize all bathrooms and kitchens, polish all fixtures, hardware, and appliances to a brilliant shine, vacuum and mop all floors (with appropriate cleaners for each flooring type), clean HVAC vents and registers, remove paint drips, caulk residue, and adhesive marks, and wipe down all light switches, outlets, and electrical covers.

Why it matters: This is the cleaning that transforms a construction site into a beautiful, move-in ready property. Final cleaning is what clients see during walkthroughs and what determines whether your project makes an outstanding first impression.

Cost: Final cleaning is the most intensive phase, ranging from $0.30-$0.60 per square foot depending on the property condition and finishing materials used.

Phase 3: Touch-Up Clean (Final Polish & Quality Check)

When it's performed: After the final clean, typically 24-48 hours before client delivery or shortly after final inspections, or after contractors complete punch-list items.

What we do: Touch-up cleaning handles any areas that accumulated dust after final cleaning, addresses any spots missed during initial final clean, re-cleans high-traffic areas, polishes glass and fixtures one final time, and performs a comprehensive quality check to ensure every detail is perfect.

Why it matters: Even after final cleaning, contractors often return to address punch-list items, and inspectors walk through the property. Touch-up cleaning ensures your space looks immaculate at the moment of delivery - creating that unforgettable "wow" factor for your client.

Cost: Touch-up cleaning is typically $0.10-$0.20 per square foot as it's a quick quality-check pass rather than full deep cleaning.

Our Recommendation: Most contractors in North Port and Port Charlotte book both final clean and touch-up clean together, scheduling them 1-2 days apart for optimal results. This approach ensures that any post-cleaning contractor work is addressed before final delivery.

Why General Contractors & Builders Choose Top Dog Commercial Cleaning

In Southwest Florida's competitive construction market, contractors don't have time for cleaning companies that show up late, cut corners, or require constant supervision. You need a partner who understands construction timelines, respects your job sites, and consistently delivers the quality you stake your reputation on.

Here's what sets Top Dog apart:

Licensed & Fully Insured - No Uninsured Subcontractors

Unlike cleaning companies that send uninsured subcontractors to your job sites, every member of our team is covered under our comprehensive general liability insurance policy. This protects you from liability if something goes wrong on-site. Many contractors won't even allow uninsured workers on their properties - and for good reason. When you book Top Dog, you get legitimate, insured professionals every single time.

Flexible Scheduling That Works Around Your Timeline

Construction schedules change constantly. We get it. That's why Top Dog offers 7-day-a-week scheduling including weekends, evenings, and early mornings. Need us to clean overnight so inspectors can walk through in the morning? We'll be there. Project pushed back by a week? We adjust with you. Finish ahead of schedule and need emergency cleaning? Call us. We build our business around your needs, not the other way around.

Many of our contractor clients specifically choose us because we're willing to work the unconventional hours they need to meet their deadlines. That kind of flexibility has helped us build long-term relationships with some of North Port and Port Charlotte's busiest builders.

Professional-Grade Equipment Gets It Done Right, First Time

Post-construction cleaning requires more than household cleaning supplies. We invest in commercial-grade equipment specifically designed for construction cleanup:

• HEPA-filtered commercial vacuums that capture fine drywall dust (standard vacuums just recirculate it)
• Professional floor machines for grout haze removal and floor polishing
• Industrial window cleaning tools for streak-free, professional results
• Specialized cleaning solutions for removing paint overspray, adhesive residue, and construction materials
• Extension poles and ladders for high ceilings and hard-to-reach areas

This equipment investment means we get the job done right the first time - no callbacks, no excuses, no cutting corners. You get results that pass inspections and impress your clients.

Consistent Quality from a Dedicated Team

When you work with Top Dog, you're not getting random workers who've never seen your projects before. We assign consistent cleaning teams who learn your standards, understand your expectations, and develop familiarity with your preferred methods. This consistency translates to better quality, fewer communication issues, and faster completion times as our team becomes familiar with your workflow.

Fast Turnaround When You Need It Most

Construction delays happen. Suddenly you need a property cleaned in 24 hours for an unexpected walkthrough. Top Dog maintains scheduling capacity specifically to handle rush projects for our contractor clients. While we can't always guarantee same-day availability, we do everything possible to accommodate urgent timelines - because we know your reputation depends on meeting your deadlines.

Types of Construction Projects We Clean

Top Dog Commercial Cleaning has worked on post-construction cleanup projects of every size and scope across Southwest Florida. From intimate home additions to sprawling commercial developments, we bring the same attention to detail and professional standards to every job.

Custom Residential Construction

New home construction in North Port, Port Charlotte, Venice, and Englewood generates significant dust and debris. We specialize in making luxury custom homes sparkle before final walkthroughs. Whether it's a 2,000 square foot starter home or a 6,000 square foot waterfront estate, our team has the experience to deliver pristine results that showcase your craftsmanship.

Multi-Family & Residential Developments

Building multiple units simultaneously? We scale our crews to match your production schedule. Many developers in Wellen Park and other North Port communities rely on Top Dog to clean multiple units per week, maintaining consistent quality across dozens or even hundreds of homes.

Commercial Build-Outs & Tenant Improvements

Retail spaces, office build-outs, medical facilities, and restaurant construction require specialized cleaning knowledge. We understand that commercial projects often have tighter deadlines and higher finish standards. From removing protective film from storefront glass to detailing high-end office finishes, we've got you covered.

Renovation & Remodeling Projects

Renovation cleaning presents unique challenges - you're working around existing furnishings, dealing with dust that has spread beyond the construction area, and often handling more delicate cleaning situations. Our team has extensive experience with kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, room additions, and whole-home renovations where occupied areas must be protected and cleaned carefully.

Industrial & Warehouse Construction

Large industrial spaces require high-capacity cleaning equipment and teams who can work efficiently across vast square footage. We have experience cleaning warehouse spaces, manufacturing facilities, and industrial buildings throughout Charlotte and Sarasota Counties.

Port Charlotte, Florida (33948, 33952, 33953, 33954, 33980, 33981)

Post-Construction Cleaning Pricing & Cost Factors

One of the most common questions contractors ask is: "How much will post-construction cleaning cost for my project?" While every project is unique, understanding the factors that influence pricing helps you budget accurately and avoid surprises.

Typical Post-Construction Cleaning Rates in Florida

Based on 2026 market rates across Southwest Florida, here's what you can expect to invest in professional post-construction cleaning:

• Rough Clean (Initial Cleanup): $0.15 - $0.30 per square foot
• Final Clean (Deep Cleaning): $0.30 - $0.60 per square foot
• Touch-Up Clean (Final Polish): $0.10 - $0.20 per square foot

Example Pricing:

For a 2,000 square foot residential new construction:

• Rough Clean: $300 - $600
• Final Clean: $600 - $1,200
• Touch-Up Clean: $200 - $400

Total project cost: $1,100 - $2,200 for comprehensive three-phase cleaning

What Affects Your Post-Construction Cleaning Cost?

Project Size: Larger projects require more time, labor, and materials. Square footage is the primary factor in determining your baseline cost.

Type of Construction: New construction typically generates more drywall dust and requires more intensive cleaning than renovation projects. However, renovations can be more complex due to working around existing furnishings and occupied areas.

Amount of Debris: Projects with excessive construction waste, significant paint overspray, or challenging materials (like epoxy, tile adhesive, or specialty finishes) require more time and specialized cleaning solutions.

Timeline Pressure: Rush projects or last-minute scheduling may incur premium pricing. Planning ahead and booking 1-2 weeks in advance typically provides the best rates.

Accessibility Challenges: Multi-story properties, high ceilings, difficult-to-reach areas, or sites with limited access for equipment may increase labor time and therefore cost.

Cleaning Phase Required: As outlined above, rough cleaning is less expensive than final cleaning, which is less expensive than combined multi-phase cleaning.

Additional Services: Special requests like exterior power washing, carpet cleaning, or extensive HVAC duct cleaning may be quoted separately from standard post-construction cleanup.

How long does construction cleanup take?

Construction cleanup timelines vary based on project size and scope:

• Small residential projects (under 1,500 sq ft): 1-2 days
• Medium-sized homes (1,500-2,500 sq ft): 2-3 days
• Large residential (2,500-4,000 sq ft): 3-4 days
• Larger commercial projects: 3-5 days or longer

The cleaning process includes three phases: rough clean (debris removal), final clean (deep cleaning), and touch-up (final polish). Our team at Top Dog works efficiently to meet your construction deadlines and can accommodate rush timelines when needed.

Do you remove construction debris and haul away trash?

Yes, debris removal is included in our post-construction cleaning services. We remove and dispose of construction waste including drywall scraps, wood trim pieces, packaging materials, cardboard boxes, empty caulk tubes, and general construction trash.

For larger debris removal needs (such as unused lumber, large equipment, or dumpster-sized amounts), we can coordinate hauling services or work with your preferred disposal company. Our standard service focuses on cleaning the space and removing typical post-construction waste to leave your property move-in ready.

What's the difference between rough clean and final clean?

Rough clean is the initial cleaning phase performed after major construction work is complete but before final finishes are installed. It includes removing large debris, construction materials, sweeping floors, removing dust from surfaces, and preparing the space for finishing work.

Final clean is the detailed deep cleaning performed after all construction is 100% complete, just before move-in. It includes removing fine drywall dust, cleaning windows inside and out, sanitizing bathrooms and kitchens, polishing fixtures, deep cleaning all floors, and ensuring the space is move-in ready.

Many contractors require both phases - rough clean prepares for final work, while final clean delivers the finished product to the client.

Do you clean HVAC systems after construction?

Yes, HVAC vent and register cleaning is included in our final construction cleanup service. Construction dust accumulates heavily in air vents and can circulate throughout the property if not properly cleaned. We clean all accessible HVAC registers, grilles, and return air vents to remove construction dust and debris.

This is especially important in Florida's climate where HVAC systems run constantly - you don't want months of drywall dust circulating through a brand new property. For deep duct cleaning, we can recommend specialized HVAC contractors, but our service includes thorough cleaning of all visible HVAC components.

Are you licensed and insured for construction sites?

Yes, Top Dog Commercial Cleaning is fully licensed and insured to work on construction sites throughout Southwest Florida. We carry comprehensive general liability insurance to protect contractors, builders, and property owners. Unlike some competitors who use uninsured subcontractors, our entire team is covered under our insurance policy, giving you complete peace of mind.

We understand the liability concerns on active or recently completed construction sites and maintain all necessary coverage to work safely and professionally on your projects.

Can you work around our construction schedule?

Absolutely. Flexible scheduling is one of our core strengths. We understand that construction timelines shift and deadlines are critical. Top Dog Commercial Cleaning offers cleaning services 7 days a week, including weekends, evenings, and early mornings.

We coordinate directly with your project manager or general contractor to schedule our work when it fits your construction timeline - not the other way around. Whether you need us to work overnight to prepare for an inspection, or schedule around ongoing trades, we adapt to your needs. Many of our contractor clients rely on us specifically because of our scheduling flexibility and reliability.

How far in advance should we book post-construction cleaning?

For best availability, we recommend booking 1-2 weeks in advance when possible. However, we understand construction timelines often change on short notice. We maintain flexibility in our schedule specifically to accommodate contractors' shifting deadlines.

For rush or same-week needs, contact us directly at (941) 276-1500 - we'll do everything possible to fit your project into our schedule. Many contractors establish ongoing relationships with us, which allows us to reserve blocks of time for their upcoming projects and provide even faster turnaround when needed.

Do you offer discounts for contractors with multiple projects?

Yes! We value long-term partnerships with contractors and builders who have consistent project volume. If you're working on multiple projects throughout the year, ask about our contractor partnership programs which can include preferred pricing, priority scheduling, and simplified billing.

Many of North Port and Port Charlotte's busiest contractors work with Top Dog exclusively because our partnership approach saves them time, money, and headaches while delivering consistent quality across all their projects.

What cleaning products do you use?

We use professional-grade cleaning products specifically formulated for post-construction environments. These products are more effective than consumer-grade cleaners at removing construction residue like drywall dust, paint overspray, adhesive, grout haze, and protective films.

All products are safe for use on new construction materials including hardwood floors, tile, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and specialty finishes. We're also happy to accommodate requests for eco-friendly or green cleaning products for environmentally conscious projects.

Will the same crew clean my projects each time?

Yes, whenever possible. We believe consistency leads to better results. When you work with Top Dog regularly, we assign dedicated cleaning teams who become familiar with your standards, learn your preferences, and develop an understanding of your workflow. This means faster completion times, better communication, and higher quality results on every project.
