St. Johns County hands over new homes constantly — but a “finished” build is not a clean build.

A “finished” build is not a clean build.
Construction leaves behind a layer of fine drywall dust that settles into every vent, track and cabinet — and standard cleaning won’t touch it. Here’s why post-construction cleaning is its own discipline.
Quick Answer: A real post-construction clean runs in three phases — rough clean, detailed final clean, and a touch-up right before move-in — because ultra-fine construction dust keeps resettling for days.
Drywall and silica dust are ultra-fine; they ride the air and resettle for days. Beyond the gritty film on every surface, fine construction dust is a respiratory irritant — OSHA’s guidance on silica and construction dust exists for a reason. Wiping a counter and calling it done just pushes that dust back into the air you’ll breathe.
Skipping phases is why new owners find grit weeks later. See our post-construction process →

Fine drywall dust hides in every vent and track.
A kitchen remodel in San Marco or a bath renovation in Ponte Vedra produces the same fine dust as a full build — it just spreads through a home you’re still living in. A targeted deep clean after any renovation protects your indoor air; indoor air quality after renovation is a documented EPA concern. Book a post-renovation deep clean →
We work with new owners, contractors and agents who need a home truly move-in ready — not just photo-ready. A spotless handover is also a powerful first impression that protects builder and agent reputations across Nocatee and St. Johns County.
Inside every cabinet and drawer, light fixtures and fans, HVAC vents and returns, window tracks and sills, paint specks on glass and hardware, and floors edge-to-edge. The goal is a home you can unpack into the same day — no grit, no haze, no surprises.
Yes. It targets construction-specific residue — drywall dust, paint specks, adhesive, debris — across multiple phases, because that dust keeps resettling after the first pass.
Plan a rough clean once trades finish, a detailed final clean before handover, and a touch-up right before move-in to catch resettled dust.
Absolutely. Renovations create the same fine dust as a full build, just spread through a lived-in home — a targeted deep clean restores it.
