Burnaby is one of Metro Vancouver's most active renovation markets. The Metrotown and Brentwood corridor has seen massive condo development and renovation activity, while North Burnaby and Burnaby Heights have older housing stock that homeowners regularly renovate. Post-construction cleaning in Burnaby is one of our most requested services — and one of the most commonly misunderstood.
Why Post-Construction Cleaning in Burnaby Is Different From a Deep Clean
A deep clean is designed for lived-in homes. Post-construction cleaning is a completely different discipline. After any renovation in Burnaby — whether it's a kitchen gut, a bathroom update, or a full condo refresh — you're dealing with:
- Fine drywall dust — particles as small as 1–10 microns that pass straight through standard vacuum filters and resettle on every surface you just cleaned
- Grout haze on new tile — a film that requires an acidic solution applied correctly, not just scrubbing
- Adhesive residue on glass and surfaces — from protective tape, stickers on new appliances, and construction adhesive
- Construction film on new appliances — factory coatings and oils that require specific degreasers
- Silica and concrete dust — heavier than drywall dust and abrasive to surfaces if not removed correctly
Standard residential products and vacuum filters are not adequate for these materials. Post-construction cleaning requires HEPA-filter vacuums (rated to 0.3 microns), microfibre systems designed for fine dust capture, and professional-grade degreasers safe for new finishes.
Post-Construction Cleaning Prices in Burnaby
Post-construction cleaning in Burnaby is priced based on square footage and project scope rather than bedrooms and bathrooms. Rough estimates:
- Single bathroom or kitchen renovation: $299–$399
- Full condo renovation (700–1,000 sq ft): $399–$599
- Full apartment or house renovation (1,200–2,000 sq ft): $599–$899
- Large home renovation or full new build (2,000+ sq ft): Quoted individually
All pricing includes GST. For Burnaby condo projects in Metrotown, Brentwood, or Lougheed towers, we coordinate building elevator access and scheduling in advance — strata entry procedures don't add to your cost.

When to Schedule the Post-Construction Clean in Burnaby
Wait until all trades have completely finished and the site has been rough-swept by the contractor. We handle fine dust removal, surface detail work, and finishing — not heavy debris disposal. If drywall, lumber, or packaging materials are still on site, contact us and we can assess whether a rough clean is needed first.
For Burnaby condo projects: book the clean at least 48–72 hours before your move-in or tenant possession date to allow time for any follow-up if needed.
