Post-Construction Cleaning in Davao City
Post-construction cleaning removes what builders leave behind: fine concrete and gypsum dust in every crevice, paint overspray, grout haze on tiles, sticker and cement residue on glass. In Davao it typically costs ₱60–₱120 per square meter depending on how heavy the debris load is — a different job from regular cleaning, needing industrial vacuums, scrapers and the patience to do it twice.
Anyone who has renovated in Davao knows the moment: the contractor declares "tapos na, ma’am/sir", the crew sweeps once with a walis tambo — and for the next three months you find white dust inside cabinets, on top of door frames and in the aircon filters. Construction dust is finer than house dust; sweeping just launches it airborne to resettle overnight. Getting a unit truly livable after works is its own trade.
Why construction dust needs different equipment
Concrete, gypsum and tile-cutting dust particles are fine enough to pass straight through household vacuum bags and right back into the room. Our crews work with filtered industrial vacuums, tack cloths and staged passes: heavy debris and scraping first, then top-down dusting of every horizontal surface (door frames, ledges, cabinet tops), then floors — and then a second fine pass a few hours later, because settling dust always gets one free encore. Glass and tiles get dedicated treatment: cement splatter, grout haze and sticker adhesive come off with scrapers and solvents, not with more wiping.
One Davao-specific warning from experience: run your aircon during or right after works and the dust ends up in the coils. If the unit ran while the contractor tiled, budget for an aircon general cleaning — we can bundle it on the same visit.

For contractors and developers
If you are a contractor turning over units, outsourcing the final clean is usually cheaper than having skilled trades do it badly on daily rates — and a properly cleaned turnover visibly raises the perceived quality of your finish. We work per-unit or per-project for Davao contractors, fit-out teams and small developers, with scheduling aligned to your punch-list dates and photos delivered per unit as turnover proof.

Frequently asked questions
How soon after construction can you clean?
Ideally after all trades are done and painting is fully dry — cleaning between trades means paying twice. If works are staged, we can do a rough clean mid-project and the fine clean at the end.
Magkano ang post construction cleaning sa Davao?
Typical 2026 rates: ₱60–₱120 per sqm depending on debris load, or ₱2,500–₱5,000 fixed for a newly turned-over condo unit. Send floor area and a few photos and we quote a fixed price.
Can you remove hardened cement or paint from tiles without damage?
Usually yes — plastic scrapers, appropriate solvents and patience handle most splatter safely on glazed tile and glass. Natural stone and matte finishes need gentler chemistry; point them out and the crew adjusts.
Do you clean newly turned-over condo units from developers?
Constantly — handover units in Davao routinely fail the white-cloth test even after the developer’s clean. A pre-move-in clean plus aircon check is the standard bundle; add our property inspection if you also want defects documented before you sign acceptance.
