Post-renovation cleaning in Vaughan

The contractor has packed up, and a fine grey film is still on every sill, shelf and floor. PavMa Cleaning takes that dust and the small debris out of renovated houses, townhomes and condos across Vaughan once the work is finished.

Where the clean fits in the last week of a renovation

Each trade that sands, cuts or drills puts dust back on the floor. Schedule the clean after the last of them and before the sofa and the boxes come back in.

What that dust does inside a house is covered in our article on renovation dust and what a clean can fix.

  1. Drywall sanding and patching

    The finest dust of the job, and it lands on every ledge, vent and track.

  2. Paint and trim

    Wait until your painter says the walls and trim can be touched.

  3. Flooring

    New floors get cleaned once the installer says they are ready.

  4. Fixtures and appliances

    Plumber and electrician done, with water and power on in the house.

  5. PavMa post-renovation clean

    Dust, small debris and the paint or adhesive traces we can reach.

  6. Furniture back in

    Rugs and upholstery go down on floors that have just been mopped.

Is an inspector still due, or a trade coming back to fix a seam or a tile? Book us for the day after that visit, so their dust isn't on the finished floor.

Leftovers out first: two laps at McCleary Court

We take away construction dust and small debris. Offcuts, rubble and leftover paint have to be out of the house before we arrive.

York Region's McCleary Court Community Environmental Centre is at 130 McCleary Court in Vaughan. Region residents drop off waste there with proof of residency.

Lap one

Materials you pay for

  • Drywall
  • Concrete
  • Untreated wood
  • Garbage

A load up to 100 kg pays one flat fee. Heavier loads are charged by weight.

Lap two

Dropped off at no cost

  • Scrap metal
  • Metal appliances
  • Blue box recyclables
  • Electronics, with personal data cleared

Mixed in with garbage, they are charged too. Unload the paid items first, then circle the site again for these.

Separate box

Leftover paint

The Region counts paint as household hazardous waste. Bring it sealed in the original cans, up to 60 litres a day, without mixing products.

Turned away at the gate: soil and clean fill, and any material containing asbestos.

Its onsite camera feed refreshes every three minutes, so you can check the lineup before driving over.

What gets cleaned, by the job you just finished

Each row follows our post-renovation cleaning checklist. The photos are from PavMa jobs and show one spot before and after the visit.

Before and after: a stainless kitchen sink with white residue around the drain, then clean and bright

A new kitchen

Dust comes off the counters, backsplash, cabinet fronts, sink, stove and range hood. Appliance exteriors are wiped, and the cabinets and built-in storage are cleaned as well.

Before and after: a chrome tub faucet and shower handle with dull, spotted chrome, then shinyBefore and after: a white tub with brown and yellow stains near the drain and tile line, then white

A bathroom redo

Fixtures, tile, glass and mirrors get cleaned, along with the paint, adhesive and construction traces we can reach on them.

Before and after: a white window frame and sill with dark grime in the corners, then clean

Fresh paint and new trim

Windowsills and the window tracks we can reach, baseboards, doors and their frames, switches, handles and the air vents we can get to.

Before and after: a bedroom with bags, clothes and boxes on the floor, then cleared with a grey rug and bed

New floors through the house

Dust gets pulled out of corners and hard-to-reach spots first, then the full floor is vacuumed and every hard floor is mopped. Rooms the work never touched may only need a deep cleaning, so tell us which rooms are which.

Questions from Vaughan homeowners after a renovation

How soon after the contractor leaves can you clean?

As soon as the work in those rooms is finished, debris and tools are out, the house is safe to walk into, and water and power are on. If a finish still needs time, your installer will say how long; book us after that.

Do you clean a new build in Woodbridge or Maple before move-in?

Yes. Post-construction cleaning covers new construction as well as renovations, once the builder's work is complete and the home is safe to enter.

Will you haul away drywall offcuts and scrap lumber?

No. We take construction dust and small debris. Drywall sheets and untreated wood go to a York Region depot such as McCleary Court before the visit.

Can you clean around new hardwood or stone?

Name the material, and anything the installer said to avoid on it, when you ask for the quote. Those notes go into the scope we confirm with you.
