Post-Construction Window Cleaning in Ottawa: What to Expect
New windows are often covered in stickers, paint overspray, and construction dust. Here's how professional post-construction window cleaning gets them move-in ready.
Whether you've just finished a renovation or a brand-new build, the final step before move-in is getting the dust, film, and debris off your windows. Post-construction cleaning is a different job entirely from routine window washing—and it requires different tools and techniques.
What Makes Post-Construction Cleaning Different
New windows often arrive with manufacturer stickers, protective film, paint overspray, drywall dust, caulking residue, and construction adhesive—none of which come off with standard glass cleaner. Using the wrong tools (or scraping too aggressively) can scratch new glass permanently.
Our Post-Construction Window Process
- Sticker & Film Removal: We safely remove manufacturer labels and protective film without leaving adhesive residue.
- Paint & Caulk Spot Removal: Specialized blades and solvents lift dried paint overspray and caulking without scratching glass.
- Deep Dust Cleaning: Construction dust settles in tracks and sills—we clean frames, tracks, and screens thoroughly.
- Final Detail Pass: A streak-free finish on both interior and exterior glass, ready for move-in or grand opening.
Who Needs This Service
- New home builds before move-in
- Home renovations with new window installations
- Commercial build-outs and storefronts before opening day
- Window replacement projects
Timing It Right
We recommend scheduling post-construction cleaning after flooring, painting, and drywall work are complete, but before furniture or fixtures are moved in. This avoids re-contaminating freshly cleaned glass with ongoing dust.
