New home. Separate punch list.

A new-build handoff needs a clear boundary between cleaning and unfinished construction. Record the materials, completed work, and remaining contractor responsibilities before the cleaning begins.

Editorial view of a home or workspace — CONSTRUCTION COMPLETE IS NOT MOVE-IN READY. · EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

A method worth keeping

Three deliberate steps.

Confirm the site is ready

Ask whether construction is finished and identify remaining trade work. Get product instructions for new floors, glass, counters, and fixtures.

Separate dirt from defects

Record scratches, paint overspray, adhesive, damage, and unfinished items before treatment. Assign each item to the cleaner or builder under the agreed scope.

Walk through after the clean

Check the contracted areas when dry and lit. Keep unresolved items on the punch list and protect completed surfaces from later trade work.

A little help goes a long way

Let us take care of the clean.
