Final Clean (Move-In Ready)

The last and most detailed phase of post-construction cleaning, transforming your Ottawa property from a completed construction project into a space that is ready for occupancy. This is the cleaning phase that homeowners and tenants will see and judge, so every detail matters. Our final clean delivers a level of thoroughness that exceeds standard janitorial cleaning, addressing construction-specific residues that regular cleaning crews are not equipped to handle.

Our final clean process is methodical and comprehensive. We work top-down through every room, starting with ceiling fixtures and crown moulding, then walls and trim, windows and sills, cabinetry and countertops, fixtures and hardware, and finally floors. Every surface is cleaned with products appropriate to its material. We remove manufacturer labels and stickers from windows, appliances, fixtures, and hardware. Paint drips on glass, tile, and hardware are carefully removed without damaging surfaces.

In Ottawa's heritage neighbourhoods, including the Glebe, Sandy Hill, Centretown, and Rockcliffe Park, final cleans after renovation require particular care. Original hardwood floors, restored plaster details, vintage tile, and period hardware demand gentle cleaning techniques and non-abrasive products. Our crews are trained to identify and appropriately clean heritage materials that are common in Ottawa's older housing stock.

The final clean also addresses punch-list items that are often discovered during detailed cleaning: paint touch-ups needed, caulking gaps, loose hardware, and other minor deficiencies. We document these items and report them to your contractor so they can be resolved before you take occupancy.

For properties undergoing Ontario Building Code inspections, our final clean ensures the space presents at its best. We complete a detailed walkthrough using our comprehensive checklist, and we are happy to schedule a walkthrough with you or your contractor to confirm the space meets your expectations before we consider the job complete.
