Commercial Cleaning Before and After: Our Projects
These are commercial cleaning before and after shots from real turnovers across Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus. Every one of them started the same way: a free walkthrough, a written scope, then a fixed price. Nothing here is a stock photo. If your building looks like one of these, we have handed back something similar. See what we clean or book a walkthrough.
Commercial cleaning before and after: recent turnovers
Office suite
Drywall dust settles into every track, frame and vent during a fit-out, so this one took a rough pass, a final clean and a touch-up before handover. Glass, floors and fixtures were done last so nothing got re-dusted. See post-construction cleaning in Cincinnati.
Office fit-out
A Columbus office fit-out photographed the morning of handover. Ceiling grid, light diffusers and duct faces get cleaned before the floors, because dust falls. Then the carpet and hard floors are finished in one pass. See post-construction cleaning in Columbus.
Warehouse and industrial
Warehouse and industrial spaces in Dayton and the Miami Valley carry concrete dust, packaging waste and dock grime rather than drywall dust. Scrubbing the slab is the slow part, so it is scheduled around production. See post-construction cleaning in Dayton.
Retail unit
Retail units get judged at eye level, so glass, display fixtures and floor edges matter more than anything on the ceiling. This one was cleaned overnight so the fit-out crew kept their opening date. See our commercial cleaning services.
Brick office conversion
Older brick conversions in Cincinnati hold dust in mortar joints, exposed beams and original window frames, so they take longer than a new build of the same size. Priced after a walkthrough, never off a floor plan. See how post-construction cleaning works.
Crew on site
The same office corridor before the crew arrived and after we handed it back. This is the finish we quote to, and the same standard applies whether it is a one-off turnover or a nightly janitorial contract.
How a turnover like these actually runs
Every job on this page followed the same four steps. Nothing here is unusual, but knowing the sequence makes it easier to see where your own handover date fits.
Step one
Free walkthrough
We walk the building with you, usually inside 48 hours of your call. This is where the real square footage, the trades still on site and the access arrangements get established.
Step two
Written scope and fixed price
You get a scope that names the rooms, the surfaces and what is excluded, with one fixed price against it. No hourly billing, so a slow day is our problem and not your invoice.
Step three
The clean
Crew sized to the actual job and the actual deadline. On post-construction work that often means a rough clean between trades and a final clean once the last trade is out.
Step four
Walkthrough before handback
We walk it with you before you accept the building. Anything on the list gets put right before we invoice, which is the point of a touch-up clean being in the scope from the start.
What to ask before you accept any building back
These are the checks that separate a building that photographs well from a building that is genuinely finished. They apply whoever did the cleaning.
- Look up, not across. Ceiling tiles, vents, sprinkler heads and the tops of door frames hold construction dust long after the floor looks clean.
- Check the tracks. Window tracks, door thresholds and elevator sills collect drywall dust that reappears the first time anything moves.
- Glass at eye level. Interior glass and display fixtures get judged first by anyone walking in, so check them in the light the building will actually be used in.
- Ask what was excluded. A scope that names exclusions is a scope someone thought about. A scope with no exclusions usually means the argument comes later.
- Confirm debris removal. Packaging, offcuts and protective film are a separate job from cleaning. Agree in writing who hauls them away.
- Ask about insurance. Certificates should be current and name the right entity. Read our questions to ask a commercial cleaning company before you sign anything.
If you want the detail behind these jobs, the post-construction cleaning checklist lists what a final clean covers room by room, and rough clean vs final clean vs touch-up explains which of the three you are actually buying.
