How Much Does Post-Renovation Cleaning Cost in Toronto? Real 2026 Prices

Real post-renovation cleaning prices in Toronto for 2026 — average $356, $249–$550 — and why construction dust makes it cost more than a standard clean.

If you've just finished a renovation, you already know the secret nobody warns you about: the dust doesn't stop when the contractors leave. Fine construction dust settles into every vent, cabinet, light fixture and crevice for days, and a regular clean barely touches it. That's why post-renovation cleaning is priced as its own job.

Here's what it actually costs in Toronto, based on real post-renovation and post-construction jobs we completed in 2026.

The short answer

Our post-renovation cleans averaged $356, ranging from $249 to $550 — the highest average of any service we offer. The reason is simple: it takes more time, more passes, and HEPA-grade equipment to get construction dust out properly.

Why post-renovation cleaning costs more than a deep clean

A standard deep clean assumes normal living dust. A renovation leaves something different:

• Ultra-fine drywall and sanding dust that coats every surface and re-settles for days after one wipe
• Dust inside vents, ducts, and light fixtures that blows back out if it isn't removed at the source
• Paint flecks, adhesive, grout haze, and caulk residue on floors, glass, and tile
• Debris in cabinets, closets, and behind trim the trades didn't clean out

Getting this right needs HEPA vacuuming and repeat passes — you can't just mop it once. That's the labour and equipment you're paying for in a proper post-construction cleaning in Toronto.

What moves the price on a post-reno job

1. How much dust, not just square footage. A small condo reno can leave more dust than a big house depending on what was cut and sanded. Drywall and tile work are the dustiest.
2. Whether it's a full home or one room. A single renovated bathroom or kitchen is far less than a whole-home gut job.
3. Floors and finishes. Removing grout haze from new tile or protecting new hardwood adds care and time.
4. Timing. Cleaning too early — before the trades are fully done — means doing it twice. Book it once the dust-making work is finished.

Frequently asked questions

How much does post-renovation cleaning cost in Toronto?
From our 2026 jobs, it averaged $356, typically $249–$550 depending on how much dust the reno created and whether it's a room or a whole home.

Is post-renovation cleaning different from a deep clean?
Yes. A deep clean handles everyday grime; post-reno removes fine construction dust from surfaces, vents and fixtures using HEPA equipment and multiple passes.

When should I book it?
After all the dust-making work (drywall, sanding, tiling, painting) is done — otherwise you'll need it cleaned twice.

Can't the contractor just clean up?
Trades do a rough clean-up, but a builder's broom-sweep isn't a fine-dust removal. If you want it move-in ready, that's a dedicated post-reno clean.
