These costs can vary depending on square footage, layout, number of cleaners, and the tasks required. It takes about 1 hour for every 100 to 200 square feet of space to clean a new construction home. Typically, crews range from two to four people and clear out a residential home in one to two days.
To clean up construction dust, sweep away the bulk of the dust on services with a broom or brush. Use a soft, damp towel to wipe down all surfaces, including walls.
Wearing a respirator, eye protection, and gloves, vacuum with a shop vac with a certified HEPA filter for floors, cracks, and anywhere you see dust. Wet mop where possible to maximize the amount of dust you pick up. Vacuum carpets or shampoo them. Use air filters to catch leftover dust particles lingering in the air.
Post-construction cleaning costs anywhere from $275 to $710 for a residential home, but rates vary depending on your location and other factors. The average project costs $470. You can calculate your own cleanup costs at roughly $0.10 to $0.50 per square foot or $30 to $50 per hour in labor costs.
