Follow these simple steps to choose the right post-construction cleaning company.
With the completion of any construction job comes relief and satisfaction regarding a job well done. But then you take a look at the mess left behind and realize you still have to clean up. And just because you have the equipment to complete the job does not mean you have to deal with the clean up as well.
Post-construction cleaning companies specialize in turning a finished project into a presentable product. You will be more than happy showing the results off, and you can spend your time moving on to whatever task lies in front of you instead of dealing with the clean up. In the same way that your construction crews know exactly what to do with construction, cleaning crews know exactly how to clean efficiently and effectively.
Finding the right post-construction cleaning company for you varies depending on the size, scale and type of your construction project. The variety of different companies provide more than enough options to match your specific needs. But with those options comes decision paralysis.
To keep from getting overwhelmed when looking for the right post-construction cleaning company for you, follow these simple steps.
Location
Begin your search by selecting a cleaning company that operates within the area your project is taking place. A nearby company completes the clean up more quickly and will not charge for traveling fees. Once you find the companies operating within your area, the pool size will not seem so overwhelming.
Size of the Project
In order to make sure that you retain the professional cleaning services you need, consider the size of the construction project. Larger cleaning companies can handle larger projects more effectively, since they possess the equipment and staff necessary for the job. Hiring an under-equipped or understaffed company may result in delays or additional fees.
Make sure that you confirm the size of the project with the cleaning company so that they can arrange their crews and equipment accordingly. Many cleaning companies offer extensive details regarding the types of projects they clean up on their website or other marketing materials. When in doubt, a simple email or phone call can confirm their ability to clean up the project.
Budget
Find a reasonable price quote that keeps the project on schedule and within budget. It might take some time to go through several companies to find a reasonable quote, so allocate plenty of time before the completion of the project for research and quoting. The sooner you begin your search, the sooner you can present the finished project.
Take your time to receive a few different quotes, or at least perform adequate research on how much clean up should cost. Having that knowledge protects you from scammers trying to squeeze more money out of you.
Reviews
The internet brings more than enough information to not only find a cleaning company but find one with plenty of happy customers. Check out a company’s reviews from social media and business rating websites to get a read on whether their customers enjoy or dislike the cleaning service. Err on the side of caution when dealing with a poorly reviewed company.
To receive as accurate an impression of a cleaning company before retaining their services, try to speak directly with a former or current customer. Ask friends, family and business colleagues regarding any cleaning companies they may have used in the past. A trusted review should always take precedence over an online review from a stranger,
Safety
No matter if you are renovating your home by yourself or handling an entire construction crew, safety always comes first. Not only should you focus on safety while performing the actual construction, but also while cleaning up. Talk with all cleaning companies under your consideration about their safety protocols and tools. Never jeopardize a project due to a safety concern, no matter how close to the end.
Come up With a Plan
The more completely you describe the details of the job, the better the cleaning company can prepare. Consider everything you need cleaned and how much debris needs clearing. The more accurate your assessment the better the resulting clean. You can also factor into your budget the things most important for the cleaners to complete. A thorough cleaning plan not only ensures completeness of the job, but also a price within your budget.
Wait Until You Find the Right Company
Never jump the gun and sign an agreement or contract until you feel completely confident in your decision. A professional and reasonable company will accommodate and answer all your questions in full. Always avoid a company that tries to push their services on you before you are ready. Take your time to find the right company who can operate within your given budget before reaching a final verdict.
Check Their Work
Once you decide on a company, go back to the construction site to ensure a complete and satisfactory clean. Should you find anything out of place, contact the company and request a refund or price adjustment. Some companies may send a crew out to correct the issue. Reviewing the cleaning company’s work firsthand offers finality and peace of mind regarding the completeness of the project. In best case scenarios, the cleaning company will perform their duties adequately and leave nothing but a happy customer.
Leave a review wherever possible regarding the quality of the services rendered. Give your honest opinion to help out the next person who needs a post-construction cleaning company.
