Rough construction clean
The first phase of every WellKept job. Before any detail work can begin, the home has to be cleared of the debris every build leaves behind — drywall dust, wood shavings, caulk overruns, and tape residue. A thorough rough clean sets up a clean surface for the final pass and protects your finishes from being polished over dust.
Our rough clean targets the construction debris that settles across every surface after framing, drywall, and trim work. We clear it before the detail work begins — so nothing gets sealed in or polished over.
Rough construction cleaning is the foundation of a clean finish. Drywall dust in particular coats horizontal surfaces, ledges, and the inside of cabinetry, and if it isn't removed before the final pass it shows up on every surface your buyer touches at walk-through. We start here so the detail phase has a clean baseline to work from.
This phase is typically scheduled once the major trades have finished and before flooring finishes, cabinetry install, or final paint touch-ups. For builders running a tight close, the rough clean is what keeps the later phases on schedule — there's no catching up on debris removal during a final white-glove pass.
