Q: What is the difference between post-renovation and post-construction cleaning in Coquitlam? A: They are essentially the same service. The approach is simply adjusted based on the project—whether it's a homeowner in Central Coquitlam wrapping up a kitchen update or a builder handing over a brand-new townhouse. We apply the same thorough dust-removal techniques, customized specifically to your handover requirements. Q: When is the best time to schedule my cleaning after a renovation? A: You can book at any point, but it's highly recommended to wait until your contractors have completely finished all cutting, sanding, and heavy work. This ensures your freshly updated space doesn't get dusty all over again. If your Coquitlam project is still in progress, we can split the service into two stages: an initial "rough clean" to clear out the bulk of the drywall dust, and a final detail clean right before your move-in date or real estate staging. Q: What does a post-renovation cleaning include? A: Our primary goal is to extract fine construction dust and make the home completely live-in ready. We carefully vacuum and wipe down accessible hard surfaces, trims, baseboards, window sills, and lighting fixtures using fresh towels. Kitchens and bathrooms receive meticulous attention—we polish cabinetry exteriors, countertops, backsplashes, sinks, and shower glass. Floors are thoroughly vacuumed and mopped for a spotless finish. We also do our best to carefully clean up minor paint drops or adhesive residue left behind by the crew. Q: How long does the cleaning take, and how large is the crew? A: The timeframe depends heavily on the property size, the amount of dust, and whether there is furniture inside. Most high-rise apartments around Coquitlam Town Centre or Burquitlam are handled by a standard two-person cleaning team. Generally, a 1-bedroom condo takes about 3 to 4 hours, while a 2-bedroom takes 4 to 5 hours. For a larger multi-level townhouse or house in Burke Mountain or Austin Heights, expect roughly 4.5 to 8 hours. If there’s an excessive amount of dust, we might suggest sending an additional teammate. We always finalize the game plan once we review a video or photos of your space. Q: Should I move my boxes or furniture before the cleaners arrive? A: To give you the most efficient clean, we ask that you clear as much floor space as possible. Moving boxes and smaller furniture away from the walls allows our teams to quickly access baseboards, corners, and trims—which ultimately saves time before you start unpacking. We will, of course, carefully work around any large, heavy pieces that are already placed and cannot be moved. Q: Is your cleaning team covered by WorkSafeBC? A: Absolutely. We are fully covered by WorkSafeBC. If you're working with Coquitlam property managers, strata councils, or local General Contractors, we can quickly supply a clearance letter upon request so you have all the necessary documentation for a smooth building handover.
