Post-Construction Cleaning for Permian Basin Businesses
Post-construction cleaning is what brings a finished commercial space from punch-list to occupancy-ready. We handle the three-stage process for general contractors, commercial real-estate developers, and tenant-improvement projects across Odessa, Midland, and the Permian Basin.
Service overview
Everything you need to know about post-construction cleaning
The five questions every facility manager asks before signing a contract — answered in order.
What is post-construction cleaning
Three-stage commercial post-construction cleaning. Stage 1 — rough clean: heavy debris removal, dust control. Stage 2 — final clean: detailed cleaning of every surface (walls, fixtures, floors, glass, frames, hardware, HVAC vents). Stage 3 — touch-up: post-occupancy walkthrough cleanup before move-in. Includes scope add-ons: HVAC vent cleaning, fixture polish, carpet extraction or VCT strip-and-wax for first-occupancy gloss.
Why you need it
Construction generates fine dust that infiltrates HVAC, settles on every horizontal surface, and lingers for weeks after completion. Tenants refuse to accept space that isn't occupancy-clean. Property managers face delayed lease commencement if the clean isn't done right.
How we deliver it
Pre-clean walkthrough with the GC superintendent → scope all three stages with timing tied to construction schedule → crew with HEPA vacuums and dust-control equipment → progressive cleaning (top-down: ceilings → fixtures → walls → floors) → final inspection with GC and incoming tenant.
How much it costs
Post-construction final clean: $0.25–$0.50/sq ft commercial. Three-stage process priced as a package, with per-square-foot rates declining at higher square footage. Carpet extraction or VCT strip-and-wax for first-occupancy gloss: scoped separately at floor-care rates.
What happens if you skip it
Skipping or shortcutting post-construction cleaning: incoming tenant rejects space (delayed lease commencement, lost rent), construction dust loads HVAC and damages blower wheels (HVAC service call within 90 days), allergic reactions from residual dust on first occupancy.
How S&T Approaches Post-Construction Cleaning
What makes our post-construction cleaning program different
Same crew every visit
Facility managers get the same people in the building week after week. Continuity at the crew level — not just the contract level.
Color-coded microfiber
Enforced at the crew level — different colors for restrooms, food-prep, and office surfaces. Prevents cross-contamination between zones.
EPA Safer Choice chemistry
Default on every account. Green Seal GS-37 alternatives available for chemically-sensitive facilities.
HEPA backpack vacuums
Captures allergens down to 0.3 micron — important for chemically-sensitive employees and shared HVAC. Standard equipment on every account.
