It’s certainly labor-intensive. Construction is a messy process, leaving behind dust, wood and metal shavings, nails, wiring, and all other kinds of leftover materials. A construction crew’s main concern is leaving you with a safe, stable structure that meets the specifications. It’s not their job to leave it clean, though a considerate contractor might do a little cleanup. Even when a construction job is “done,” there might still be days of work left to do. Cleaning kitchen equipment. Getting rid of leftover debris. Vacuuming, dusting, and mopping. Wiping down windows and counters. If you’re excited about seeing a “finished product” when construction is over, you might be disappointed. That’s why we recommend having a professional crew handle your post-renovation cleanup.
