Start with the condition of the project
Finishing a renovation does not automatically mean the space is ready for a cleaning appointment. Tell the office whether construction work is complete, which rooms were affected and what remains on the surfaces. A useful quote begins with that information. This guide is about organizing cleaning after a project, not handling hazardous materials or certifying that a building is safe for occupancy.
Separate ordinary cleaning from specialist hazards
If there are concerns about hazardous dust, chemical exposure, mold or other contamination, consult the appropriate qualified professional before routine cleaning begins. Do not treat a household cleaning article as a safety plan for those hazards. The cleaning team needs safe access to the agreed work areas. Explain any project restrictions and specialist instructions when discussing the appointment.
List the surfaces and priorities
Identify accessible counters, cabinet fronts, interior surfaces, floors and the areas where everyday project residue remains. Tell the office about new finishes and any care instructions supplied by the installer. Additional tasks should be discussed in the quote rather than assumed to be part of a universal package. The time needed depends on the condition of the space, access and the work agreed for the visit.
Coordinate access with the project schedule
Arrange cleaning after the relevant work has stopped and the team can safely reach the rooms. Confirm who provides entry access and whether other contractors will be present. Avoid promising a move-in deadline until the project condition and cleaning appointment have been approved. Same-day requests depend on availability, location and the work needed. A request is not a confirmed appointment until approved.
Understand whole-team pricing
Post-construction cleaning is $300 per hour for a team of three, with a $300 first-hour minimum. Time after the first hour is prorated at $5 per minute. The price is for the entire team, not each cleaner. The final amount depends on actual time and approved charges. Residential recurring discounts are not a public discount for post-construction work. Existing clients keep their previously agreed pricing.
Plan ongoing upkeep after the project
Once the agreed project cleanup is complete, you can discuss recurring residential or office cleaning as a separate plan. For home visits, Smart Cleaning Service sends a message when the team is on the way and another when cleaning is finished. Share the priorities that matter after you move back in. The company is local, family-owned, licensed, insured and BBB accredited, serving Seattle and the Eastside since 2016.
Before confirming your appointment
Share the approximate size, current condition, city and entry instructions. The requested date is not confirmed until the office approves the appointment.
