Construction Cleaning in Cincinnati
The Queen of the West sees a lot of construction activity in its manufacturing, industrial, retail, and residential building sectors. These new constructions add to historical areas like Over-the-Rhine and Price Hill or newer developments in downtown Cincinnati like the Riverfront. New homes in Cincinnati often cater to the new trend of multi-generational living when many generations live together and support each other. This trend is driven by the many children who are returning to live with their parents and the older people who are choosing to move closer to children.
New residences are constructed in areas like Wilmington Plan, Prestwick Place, and The Springfield Plan, The Enclave at Woodruff. Construction’s in Newport and Covington across the Ohio River are also considered to be a part of Cincinnati though they properly fall into the Kentucky region. The Mount Washington area has an up and coming retail scene while any new construction in Hyde Park adds to its upper-class vibe. Traveling around the metropolitan area of Cincinnati in a convenient way will require a car as the Streetcar called the Cincinnati Bell Connector only traverses a short route, and the SORTA Metro Lines mostly only serves tourist sites. The bus is a viable public transport option since the area is served by both the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority and the Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky.
The different types of construction cleaning
Construction cleaning is divided into two or three separate phases, which each consist of different types of cleaning activities and require different kinds of expertise and equipment. The first phase of cleaning after any construction activity is a rough cleaning that occurs when the framework, ceilings, and walls are completed. Doors and windows are installed, and drywall has been hung.
The second phase of construction cleaning occurs after the painting and finishing are finished, and any fixtures and fittings are installed. The last phase is called a touchup and inspection phase and occurs after carpets are installed and before the house is ready for inhabitation or sale.
First phase of post-construction cleaning
This is a rough cleanup and involves, first of all, gathering the debris and rubbish created by the construction activities. Construction activities may have left behind pieces of wood, sacks, cardboard, stray nails and cans of adhesive as well as other rubbish. This rubbish can be dangerous to the workers who will be finishing the building, so it is gathered and disposed of in a responsible way. The cleaning contractors may have to rent a dumpster to dispose of all the waste if it is a large construction project.
After gathering, removing, and disposing of waste, the floors and surfaces are swept and vacuumed; some abrasive cleaning techniques may be employed. Theses abrasive cleaning techniques include methods like dry ice blasting, sandblasting, or soda blasting to smoothen and clean up floors.
The second phase of post-construction cleaning
The second phase of post-construction cleaning involves power washing the driveways or the parking lots with pressurized power washers. The exterior cladding of the building and windows are also washed till they are spotless, and all the dust generated by construction is washed away. Any stickers adhering to the window panes are taken of. Restrooms, toilets, and kitchens are washed during this phase of construction cleaning. Urinals, sinks, toilets, showers, tubs, or counters will be washed and disinfected. Floors are mopped, and fixtures and fittings are dusted and wiped down. Floors are honed, buffed, waxed, stained, polished, and sealed according to their varying materials. Any paint spills or varnish stains are scrubbed away, and the house is ready for carpets to be installed.
Final phase of post-construction cleaning
The final phase of post-construction cleaning involves a touchup ad inspection. If carpets are installed after the second phase of painting, they will be vacuumed. The cleaning contractors will go through a checklist of post-construction cleaning requirements as set out by reputed standard setters in the United States cleaning industry, such as ISSA. Each room will be checked and marked completely clean after each item on the list has been marked done. Any final dusting will be done, and scuff marks and fingerprints removed before the house is declared ready. After this phase, people can move into the house, or the house is ready for viewings.

Initial Construction Site Cleaning Inspection and Quotations
In order to get started on any construction cleaning job, we need to discuss exactly what your cleaning requirements are and specifically what needs to be cleaned, how it needs to be cleaned and what condition the area should be in after the final cleaning. We will make an assessment of what construction materials need to be hauled away and which construction materials should stay. This guarantees that only items that need to be removed and cleaned up are.
In many cases, pricing may be provided without visiting the construction site. In these instances, it is important to have historical references so pricing can be given using variables such as square foot. Call us today to schedule a free construction clean up consultation.
