Post-Construction Cleaning Cost Guide (Minnesota, 2026)

Updated 2026-06-11 · by JSM Commercial Services

Post-construction cleaning in the Twin Cities market typically runs $0.15–$0.60 per square foot for a full final clean, with the spread driven by debris level, glass area, and detail expectations. Phased projects usually price rough + final + touch-up separately, totaling toward the upper half of that range.

The three phases

  • Rough clean (after framing/drywall, before finishes): debris removal, sweep-down, sticker scrape — the cheapest phase
  • Final clean (before walkthrough): every surface, fixture, and glass pane detailed — the bulk of the budget
  • Touch-up clean (after punch-list trades): re-detailing high-visibility surfaces — often hourly

What moves the number

  • Glass: window and partition detailing is the most labor-dense line item
  • Floor protection removal and first-pass floor finishing
  • Construction dust load — drywall-heavy remodels take more passes
  • Schedule compression — overnight or weekend turnarounds to hit a CO date carry premiums
