Builders often book cleaning in up to three passes. The rough clean removes debris, scrap and loose dust while trades are still working. The final clean details every surface once the work is done. A touch-up pass removes the last dust before move-in or a walk-through.
Homeowners after a remodel usually need only the final clean — $400–$1,200 for 2,000 sq ft.
Drywall and sawdust are fine enough to settle on every ledge, inside cabinets and in vents, and they come back after the first wipe. Crews use HEPA vacuums that trap fine dust, scrape paint and stickers off glass, and clean inside every cabinet and fixture. A deep clean of a 3-bed home is $180–$420; a post-construction clean of a 2,000 sq ft home is $400–$1,200, two to three times as much.
Square footage, how much dust and debris is left, and the number of windows. Post-construction window cleaning is often charged per window ($10–$22), and hauling away leftover debris adds $200–$600.
Many crews bill by the hour at $30–$50/hr per worker, often with a minimum of a full day for two workers. Ask whether the builder's contract already includes a final clean before you book one.
Book the final clean after all trades are finished and the heating and cooling (HVAC) filters have been changed, or dust will keep coming back. Cutting concrete, tile or stone makes silica dust, which should be vacuumed with HEPA equipment, not swept dry.

About $0.20–$0.60 per sq ft for a final clean, or $400–$1,200 for a 2,000 sq ft home.
Sometimes. Some contracts include only a broom-clean (a quick sweep), not a detailed clean. Check your contract before you book.
A 2,000 sq ft home takes a crew of two most of a day or longer. At $40/hr per worker, the typical $700 price is about 17.5 worker-hours.
Interior glass is usually wiped, but scraping paint and cleaning tracks is often extra at $10–$22 per window.
Some can, but construction dust needs HEPA vacuums and more time. Ask whether the company does post-construction work and how they price it.
