Construction Cleaning Prices

Many expect that cleaning a new construction should be cheaper compared to a regular move-out cleaning, as the kitchen and bathroom are completely new and therefore do not require cleaning. Unfortunately, that is not the case. In fact, construction cleanings are even more labor-intensive than regular move-out cleanings, which is why they are also more expensive. This is mainly due to the fact that industrial dirt can only be removed with strong cleaning agents. Additionally, there is a high level of fine dust, which can make construction cleaning seem like a "never-ending story." For this reason, we recommend not attempting construction cleaning without the appropriate experience and equipment. The effort required will be much greater than you expect.

Please note that these are not price recommendations or fixed price indications. They are simply indicative prices that we have determined. You may receive significantly lower quotes through our platform. However, if you want a realistic overview of prices for construction cleanings, the table is certainly recommended.

We strongly recommend scheduling an inspection for construction cleaning, as the effort required is closely related to the work performed by the construction workers. If there are many cement residues in the property, the cleaning will be more labor-intensive. Especially if there are many windows covered in cement residue, cleaning them alone can occupy one or two workers for an entire day. In addition to price, it is essential that the cleaning company has sufficient time allocated for the construction cleaning. Otherwise, it will be challenging for you and your move.

Price Factors of Construction Cleaning

  1. Property Size / Number of Rooms

    The main factor on which cleaning companies base the base price for construction cleaning.

  2. Number of Wet Areas

    A wet area requires much more cleaning effort compared to a regular room. Therefore, this is also a significant price factor.

  3. Degree of Dirtiness

    Unlike move-out cleaning, the degree of dirtiness in construction cleaning is not determined by usage but by construction materials such as cement, mortar, fine dust, etc.
