Post-Construction
Post-Construction Window Cleaning in San Clemente
New builds and remodels leave glass covered in drywall dust, paint overspray, stucco splatter, sticker residue and labels. We remove it carefully, because the wrong technique on construction debris is how new glass gets scratched.
What Construction Leaves on Windows
- Stucco and mortar splatter, common on San Clemente exteriors
- Paint and primer overspray
- Drywall dust and joint compound
- Manufacturer stickers and label adhesive
- Caulk and silicone smears
- Tape residue from masking
Why Post-Construction Cleaning Needs Care
Construction debris is abrasive. Wiping or squeegeeing glass while stucco grit is still on it can drag particles across the surface and leave permanent scratches. Some glass also has tempering fabrication debris that scratches easily with metal blades. We start by softening and rinsing away loose grit, test methods on a small area, and use blades only where they are safe for that glass.
Our Post-Construction Process
- Assessment first — identifying what’s on the glass and the type of glass
- Pre-rinse to remove loose, abrasive dust
- Targeted residue removal for paint, stucco, adhesive and caulk
- Frames, tracks and sills cleared of construction dust
- Final clean and walk-through before handover

We work with homeowners after remodels and with contractors preparing a home for handover or listing. Post-construction work is quoted after seeing the site or photos, since the amount of residue varies widely. Insurance documentation is available on request — see licensed and insured. Commercial projects are covered on our commercial window cleaning page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you remove paint and stucco without scratching the glass?
In most cases, yes. We pre-rinse abrasive grit and test the safest removal method on each type of glass before cleaning.
When should post-construction cleaning be scheduled?
After all dusty trades, painting and exterior stucco work are finished, so the glass does not get dirty again.
Do you work directly with contractors?
Yes. We can coordinate with builders and remodelers for a final clean before handover.
How is post-construction cleaning priced?
It is quoted after seeing the site or photos, since the amount of paint, stucco and adhesive varies from job to job.
