General Contractor Cleaning, Phase by Phase
General contractor cleaning from Final Phase fits into your schedule the way a trade does: a crew that knows when to arrive, what to leave alone, and what ready means on the day of the walkthrough. We handle rough, final and touch-up cleans on commercial and residential builds, so your superintendent is not chasing dust the week before turnover.

How cleaning fits a general contractor's schedule
A cleaning crew on a job site has to behave like a trade. That means a start window agreed with your superintendent, a defined scope for each visit, and no surprises about which rooms are still open to painters, flooring crews or electricians.
We work seven days a week, and start times shift with the job. If the punch list walk is Thursday morning, we plan backward from there and tell you which areas need to be released to us, and when.
Everything we use comes with us: vacuums, scrubbers, ladders, microfiber, razor scrapers and the rest. You are not asked to lend a shop vac or leave a water source on.
The full sequence is laid out on our process page, and each phase has its own page under construction cleaning.
Three cleans, three points on your schedule
Most projects need all three. Smaller jobs sometimes combine the first two.
Rough clean
After drywall, taping and sanding, before finishes. We clear scrap, packaging and heavy dust from the interior so painters and flooring crews start on a workable surface. See rough construction cleaning.
Final clean
After fixtures, flooring and glazing are in. Every interior surface, floor and pane of glass is cleaned in sequence from the top down. See final construction cleaning.
Touch-up clean
After punch list repairs and just before handover, we walk the space and reset anything the last trades marked up. See touch-up cleaning.
Cleaning for contractors running several jobs at once
If you have a tenant suite closing out in one part of the valley and a ground-up building in rough phase in another, the cleaning plan has to track both calendars. We keep the scope for each site separate and confirm the next release date with your project manager before we schedule a crew.
That matters most when a milestone slips. A flooring delay or a late inspection moves the final clean, and we would rather re-plan the visit with you than clean a room that is about to get dusty again.

- Release dates confirmed with the superintendent or PM
- Crews sequenced around painters, flooring and glazing

General Contractors questions
When should a general contractor schedule the final clean?
Schedule it after flooring, fixtures, glazing and paint are complete and before the owner or buyer walkthrough. We recommend releasing the space with no trades working inside it, then booking a touch-up after punch list repairs.
Can your crew work while other trades are still on site?
Yes, for rough cleans and for areas that have been released. We stay out of rooms where painters, flooring crews or glaziers are active and finish the released areas first.
Do you handle dumpster loads?
No. Large loads are the hauler's job. Our crews bag small debris, scrap and packaging and carry it to the containers already on your site.
How is cleaning for contractors priced?
Cleaning for contractors is bid per project, based on square footage, finish level and how many phases you need. Send the plans or a site address and we put a written scope together.
Do you clean both homes and commercial buildings?
Yes. Our crews clean new homes, model homes, tenant suites and ground-up commercial buildings across the Las Vegas valley.
