Summary
You get a walkthrough-ready site where the eye goes to the build, not the dust, haze, stickers, or specks that make it still feel like a jobsite.
I’ll confirm the walkthrough date and the rooms in scope, then I’ll clean in the same order you’ll see on site: high dust first, then edges, then glass and detail. You’ll walk a space that reads finished under hard afternoon light, with baseboards, tile, and windows free of dust, haze, and specks that slow a closeout.
I run this like a punch-list clean, not a house clean. I start with a top-to-bottom dust reset, then I work by surface type: paint and caulk spots, tile and grout haze, then glass scraping and wipe-down. I protect new finishes while I work and I flag anything I can’t remove without risking damage.
Who you are working with
I’m Jordan Haskins, owner-operator. I do post-construction cleaning because the last few percent of a build is what the owner remembers. I’m the person on site doing the wipe-down, the scraping, and the final check, so you’re not guessing who showed up or what got skipped.
Most clean failures happen at the edges and on the glass: baseboards that still hold drywall dust, tile that still has haze in raking light, and windows that got scraped like a windshield. I work slow where surfaces scratch, I use fresh blades and the right angle, and I stop and tell you when a mark is damage, not dirt.
Recent projects
Here are three recent post-construction cleaning jobs where the goal was a smooth punch walk and a clean turnover.
Portfolio
Stucco spec home turnover. Full reset after trades wrapped: top-to-bottom dust removal, kitchen and baths detailed, and glass finished for first impressions. The builder kept the walkthrough on schedule because the site read finished, not freshly worked.
Beach-modern remodel detail. Detail clean before the punch walk with extra time on tile edges and grout haze. I removed blue tape residue and sticker glue from new fixtures so the surfaces looked new, not recently installed.
Pre-punch blue-tape clean. Fast pass for a planned owner walkthrough: ledges, trim, doors, and glass touched where blue tape was called out. The GC got a cleaner punch list because the notes stayed on build items, not dust.
“The place looked finished at walkthrough, and the glass was spotless.”

What happens and when
Post-construction cleaning is scheduled around your punch walk and turnover. I’ll confirm your walkthrough date, then I’ll work the site in a set order so dust doesn’t resettle on finished surfaces. Between visits, you can reach me by call or text.
1. Site check-in Once, at start You let me in, point me to water and power, and tell me what areas are still off limits. I’ll do a quick pass for delicate finishes, uncured paint, and anything that changes how I scrape or wipe, then I’ll start with high dusting. 2. Blue-tape clean Every visit I work the punch path first: trim, doors, baseboards, ledges, and the spots that catch the eye at the entry and in main living areas. You’ll see the tape-call items get handled before I disappear into back rooms. 3. Dust reset Every visit I remove drywall dust top-to-bottom, including horizontal ledges and the places it collects again after you think it’s gone. If you want AC returns addressed, I’ll do them early so the rest of the clean stays cleaner. 4. Detail and glass Every visit I handle paint and caulk specks, tile and grout haze, then I finish with windows and glass. I scrape with fresh blades and a wet surface where needed, and I stop if I see tempered glass labels or anything that raises scratch risk.
Rough clean after trades
One scheduled visit to remove heavy dust and jobsite debris, reset horizontals, and get surfaces ready for detail work. Best booked when messy trades are out.
DETAIL CLEAN BEFORE PUNCH WALK
One scheduled visit focused on edges and eye-line surfaces: baseboards, trim, doors, ledges, and bathrooms and kitchen detail, so the walkthrough reads finished.
FINAL CLEAN FOR TURNOVER
One scheduled visit just before handoff to remove settled dust, fingerprints, and last-day specks, and to re-check floors, glass, and fixtures under strong light.
Window and glass scrape and clean
Each scheduled visit includes glass clean and scrape where safe and needed, with fresh blades and controlled pressure. I focus on paint mist, overspray dots, and stuck-on residue.
STICKER AND ADHESIVE REMOVAL
Each scheduled visit includes removal of stickers and adhesive from new surfaces where the residue is on top and releases cleanly. I test first on delicate finishes and report anything that risks damage.
CABINET AND DRAWER WIPE-OUT
Each scheduled visit includes wipe-out inside and out for cabinets, closets, and drawers in areas in scope, so sawdust and packaging dust don’t show up when doors open.
Plans
Use these as starting points and I’ll tighten the number after a quick site check-in and your walkthrough date, since dust level and glass work drive time. Prices are per visit.

Next steps
Sign below to hold your slot, then I’ll confirm the walkthrough date and site access so the clean lands when you need it.
1. Sign this proposal to approve the post-construction cleaning scope. 2. Reply with the walkthrough date, site address, and access details. 3. I’ll send the first invoice for the scheduled period and get you on the calendar.
CAN YOU GET THE DRYWALL DUST OUT OF THE AC RETURNS AND LEDGES?
Yes. I can include AC returns and the ledges that collect dust fast. I’ll start with those early in the clean so I’m not knocking dust down onto finished surfaces later. If a return needs a tool to open, I’ll need access and permission.
DO YOU SCRAPE GLASS, AND HOW DO YOU AVOID SCRATCHING IT?
Yes, I scrape glass when it’s the right call. I use fresh blades, keep the surface wet where needed, and scrape at a low angle with light pressure. If I see a scratch risk, I stop and flag it before I proceed.
WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM ME ON SITE: WATER, POWER, ACCESS, ALARM CODE?
I’ll need access to the full scope, working water, and power. If there’s an alarm, I’ll need the code or a window when it’s disarmed. If any rooms are still active work zones, tell me up front so I can work around them safely.
ARE YOU CLEANING AFTER THE TRADES ARE TRULY DONE, OR WILL YOU COME BACK FOR A TOUCH-UP IF THEY TRACK DUST BACK IN?
Ideally I clean when dusty trades are done so you’re not paying to re-clean the same dust. If trades come back and track it in, I can schedule a touch-up visit before the walkthrough or turnover. I’ll keep the touch-up scoped to the affected areas.

Fee summary
Payment
I invoice each visit at the start of that visit. Nothing is due up front beyond that invoice. Each invoice is payable within 7 days of its date.
Access. You’ll provide access to the full scope for the scheduled visit, plus working water and power. If there’s an alarm, I’ll need the code or a window when it’s disarmed.
Returns and vents. AC returns and dust-ledges are included. If a return needs a tool to open or a fastener removed, I’ll need permission and access, and I’ll leave it the way I found it.
Glass scraping limits. I scrape glass when it’s the right call. If I see a scratch risk, I stop and flag it before I proceed. Existing scratches, weld spatter, or tempered-glass debris can’t be made safe by cleaning.
Trades coming back
Post-construction cleaning goes fastest when dusty trades are finished. If trades return and track dust back in, I can schedule a touch-up visit, scoped to the affected areas, at my standard per-visit rate.
Scheduling changes. If you need to move a visit, tell me as soon as you can and I’ll offer the next available slot. If I arrive and can’t access the scope, I’ll reschedule and the visit still bills for that slot.
Scope changes. If you add rooms, glass, or cabinet interiors after I’ve started, I’ll confirm the added areas in writing before I continue. Added work is billed as an additional visit or time on site, depending on what fits the schedule.
