Post-construction cleaning pricing
Transparent, per-square-foot ranges so you can budget before you bid. Every project gets a written estimate; this page tells you what to expect.
Approximate price per square foot, by phase
These are typical ranges for commercial and multi-family projects. Your written estimate depends on the factors below.
| Phase | What it covers | Typical range | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rough clean | Debris, packaging, labels and film; sweep/vacuum; first wipe-down of surfaces | $0.10 – $0.18 / sq ft | After drywall, paint and major trades |
| Final clean | Full detail: fine dust, glass, restrooms, inside cabinets, machine-finished floors, HEPA carpets | $0.18 – $0.35 / sq ft | Before inspection, CO and owner walk |
| Touch-up / punch-list | Light re-detail after punch trades or furniture delivery | $0.06 – $0.12 / sq ft | Right before opening or turnover |
| Rough + Final package | Both phases scheduled together | $0.25 – $0.45 / sq ft | Most commercial projects |
| Specialty add-ons | Pressure washing, floor buffing / scrub-and-recoat, high-reach glass | Quoted per project | Bundled with the final clean |
Minimum project charge applies to small jobs. Prices shown are typical ranges, not a quote.
Six things that change your estimate
Size & contract length
Larger square footage and multi-phase or multi-building contracts get lower per-square-foot rates.
Site condition
Heavy dust, overspray, adhesive or mud, and how well trades protected finishes.
Project type
Medical, restaurant and hospitality finishes need more detail time than open office or warehouse.
Floors & access
Number of floors, elevator access, lifts for high-reach glass and ceilings, badging and after-hours rules.
Travel
Standard rates across Middle Tennessee. Farther projects may carry a travel fee based on distance, crew size and contract length, always stated up front.
Supplies & equipment
We bring equipment and standard chemicals. Owner-specified products, dumpsters or haul-off, and aerial lifts are billed as a separate supplies/equipment fee.
