After renovation: what it involves
Hurricanes Helene and Milton pushed water into ground-floor homes and units across St. Pete Beach in 2024, and many have been gutted and rebuilt since. Contractors leave a broom-swept unit; it still needs a real clean before anyone sleeps there.
Construction dust is fine and settles everywhere: inside cabinets, on top of door frames, in light fixtures and vents. A post-renovation clean takes it out in passes, top down, then finishes with a guest-ready clean.
What a post-renovation clean removes
- Drywall and sanding dust from every surface, inside cabinets too
- Paint specks, caulk smears and sticker residue on glass and fixtures
- Dust in vents, light fixtures, fans and on door tops
- Floors vacuumed and mopped in several passes
- Leftover small debris bagged and removed
- A final guest-ready clean so the unit can be listed again

Tip: replace HVAC filters after the dust clean, not before, or the new filter fills up on day one.
What after renovation cost
Post-renovation cleaning is priced by size and how much dust and debris is left, so it's quoted after a look at the unit. It usually costs more than a deep clean because it takes several passes.

Post-Renovation Cleaning questions
When should the clean be scheduled?
After the last trade leaves and large debris is gone. Cleaning while painters or flooring crews are still working means doing it twice.
Do you haul construction debris?
Small leftover debris is bagged and removed. Dumpster loads and building materials stay with the contractor.
Can you get a rebuilt rental guest-ready?
Yes. The last pass is a full turnover clean, with beds made and supplies stocked if you provide them.
