After you have spent so much time and effort (not to mention the incredible amount of money!) to complete your home renovations, wouldn’t it be nice to truly get rid of all the dust and have a final detailing of your home before getting settled back in?
We have specialized in post-renovation cleaning work since the company started in 2009. We bring in the right tools, supplies and a properly trained team that will sweat the details to ensure your home is dust free and beautifully polished.
Our team is experienced to know what kind of non-toxic and fragrance free products we can use on all of your new surfaces and finishes. Team members are covered under WSIB and our liability insurance so you have the peace of mind that if anything catastrophic were to happen you would have no financial concerns.
Finally, we spend the time to get things right so when you start to move in, you don’t find missed dust build up.
If somebody offers you a low price on this type of specialized cleaning, you could ask them the following questions (and ask for back-up documentation if you are unsure):
- Will they visit your home for a complete and detailed assessment prior to the proposal?
- Will they bring specialized equipment (true HEPA vacuum cleaners, natural stone and hardwood floor cleaners etc.)
- Is everybody on the cleaning team legal to work in Canada, police checked, well trained, supervised, and an employee of the company (NOT a contract worker)?
- Is the cleaning team covered under WSIB and $2 million dollar liability insurance?
- Does the company use only fragrance free, non-toxic and eco-friendly cleaning tools and supplies?
- Does the company have dozens of amazing written testimonials from clients who have hired them for post-renovation cleaning work?
- Are there any hidden costs?
Your home may look beautiful, empty and “only” dusty but keep in mind that to properly de-dust a home that has undergone months of renovation work, we need to get to “every square inch” of your home to be sure nothing is left behind.
This can be quite time consuming. Often, companies will quote a very low amount of time because they think that most clients are ok with a “quick cleaning” to remove the highly visible dust. These companies promise a “thorough” job which is impossible given the amount of time or money they have quoted. The question is, do you want to risk having half or more of the dust left behind when the cleaning company leaves?
