Your Post-Construction Cleaning Checklist for Montreal Sites

A beautiful build can still feel unfinished if it is covered in drywall dust and adhesive residue. Post-construction cleaning is what turns a completed site into a move-in-ready space. It works best in three phases.

Phase 1: Rough clean

Done once the major trades are out, this phase clears the big stuff: leftover debris, packaging, stickers, and large dust deposits. The goal is to get the space safe to work in for the detailed passes that follow.

Phase 2: Detail clean

This is where the space starts to shine. Crews work top to bottom so dust never settles on already-cleaned surfaces.

• check_circleWiping down walls, doors, frames, and baseboards.
• check_circleCleaning inside cabinets, closets, and drawers.
• check_circleDegreasing and detailing kitchens and washrooms.

Phase 3: Final / white-glove

The last pass catches everything a final walkthrough would flag: interior glass and window tracks, fingerprints and smudges, floor polishing, and any fine dust that resettled. The result should be inspection- and tenant-ready.
