Post-Renovation Cleaning in NYC for Apartments, Co-ops & Homes

Your kitchen or bathroom remodel is done, but drywall dust is everywhere. Allora Cleaning New York removes renovation dust, paint specks, and adhesive residue from NYC apartments, co-ops, and homes so you can move back in and actually enjoy the new space.

Renovation Cleanup Made for Lived-In NYC Homes

A renovation is different from new construction. You are often living nearby, the rest of the apartment is full of furniture, and dust has travelled into closets, bedding, and vents far from the room that was remodeled. Our post-renovation cleaning covers the whole home, not just the work zone.

We clean after kitchen and bathroom remodels, flooring replacement, painting, window installs, and full gut renovations in apartments, co-ops, condos, brownstones, and houses across the five boroughs.

HEPA vacuums trap fine dust instead of blowing it back into the air, and finish-safe products protect new cabinets, counters, tile, and hardwood. Low-VOC options are available for kids, pets, and allergy-sensitive households.

Renovation Types We Clean After

Every remodel leaves a different kind of dust. We plan the clean around what was built.

Kitchens

Kitchen Remodels

Sawdust inside new cabinets and drawers, film on appliances, grout haze on backsplash tile and sealant on counters. We clean inside and out so you can cook the same day.

Bathrooms

Bathroom Renovations

Grout haze, caulk smears, sticker residue on fixtures and dust in the exhaust fan. Glass, tile, vanity interiors and every fixture detailed.

Whole home

Full Gut Renovations

Fine drywall and sanding dust in every room, vent and window track. A rough clean, a detailed final clean and a touch-up before move-in.

Townhouses

Brownstone Restorations

Plaster dust in moldings, radiators and original woodwork, cleaned floor by floor with finish-safe products and soft brushes.

Why NYC Homeowners Call Allora After a Renovation

From a single bathroom remodel in Astoria to a full co-op renovation on the Upper West Side, we bring the same checklist, the same care, and a clean you can see.

Co-op & Condo Building Friendly

We follow building work hours, protect common areas, and provide the certificate of insurance your managing agent asks for.

Careful With New Finishes

Crews use microfiber and finish-safe products on stone, lacquer, brass, and fresh paint so nothing you just paid for gets scratched.

Scheduled Around Your Move-Back Date

Book the clean for the day after your contractor finishes, so you come home to a ready apartment instead of a weekend of wiping dust.

Healthier Air at Home

HEPA vacuums capture the fine dust that ordinary vacuums blow back into the room, which matters for kids, pets, and anyone with allergies.

Satisfaction Guarantee

If you find dust we missed, tell us and we come back to fix it.

Post-Renovation Cleaning FAQs

01
What is the difference between post-renovation and post-construction cleaning?

Post-construction cleaning is usually for empty job sites and commercial build-outs. Post-renovation cleaning is for homes where people live, so it also covers furniture, closets, and rooms outside the work area where dust has spread.

02
When should I book cleaning after my renovation?

Book it for right after your contractor finishes and removes their tools. We can usually start within 24 to 48 hours, and booking ahead holds your preferred date.

03
How long does post-renovation cleaning take?

A bathroom or kitchen remodel cleanup in an apartment often takes a few hours. A full gut renovation of a larger home may take a full day or more. We confirm timing in your quote.

04
Will you clean inside new cabinets and appliances?

Yes. Sawdust and debris collect inside drawers, cabinets, ovens, and dishwashers during a remodel, so we clean inside them as part of the service.

05
Can you provide a COI for my co-op or condo building?

Yes. Send us your managing agent's insurance requirements and we issue the certificate the same day.

06
Can you clean after flooring refinishing?

Yes. Once the finish has cured per your flooring contractor's guidance, we remove sanding dust from walls and trim and clean the floor with finish-safe products.
