Post-Construction Window Cleaning Is Not Regular Window Cleaning

post-construction-window-cleaning

Here’s Why That Matters And what we learned during a recent project in Downtown Boston.

After construction wraps, most people think the hard part is over. But as property managers know — the final stretch is where everything can go right… or very wrong.

Did you know that one overlooked detail that can cause delays, extra costs, and even damage is Window cleaning? But not the kind you book once a year. We’re talking post-construction window cleaning — and it requires a very different skill set.

It’s not just about making glass look clean.

After construction, windows are often covered in:

  • Cement dust
  • Paint overspray
  • sealants and adhesives
  • Hard-to-remove residue

You need the right tools, materials, and expertise to make the glass shine without damage, because it’s not just one clean — you need two deep cleans before starting with regular window maintenance.

A Real Example: Boston, Downtown

Last month, our team was brought in for a post-construction project in Downtown Boston. The challenge? Keep everything on schedule, meet turnover deadlines — and deliver spotless windows across multiple elevations.

Our approach:

  • Joey (our site lead) walked the property and created a detailed action plan
  • We sent daily updates to the property manager, with photos and progress
  • Our team cleaned carefully using glass-safe techniques to avoid scratches
  • We worked alongside other trades with clear access planning

The result: Inspection-ready glass and zero delays. That’s what experience delivers!

 

Window cleaning companies often just “show up.” But post-construction cleaning is about collaboration.

If your building is nearing completion, it’s the perfect time to bring in a team that understands construction pressure — and how to protect your investment.

We’re happy to talk timelines, permits, and access coordination.
