Construction
Post-construction and construction-cleanup services across Connecticut, Rhode Island, and southern Massachusetts
Construction cleaning is project work, not recurring janitorial. The work is fast, scheduled around handover dates, and judged by whether the building is ready for tenants, inspectors, or the punch-walk. A good construction-cleanup vendor knows the difference between rough cleanup, post-construction final clean, and the white-glove ready-for-tenant pass — and shows up with the right crew size and the right equipment for whichever phase you’re in.
Fraser Commercial Services has cleaned commercial buildings throughout eastern and central Connecticut for 39 years. We’re a 39-year-old, family-run, veteran-owned commercial cleaning company headquartered in Waterford, CT. Our project-services team handles construction cleanup as a scheduled engagement — quoted per project, invoiced separately from any recurring janitorial contract, and crewed to fit the timeline your GC, project manager, or owner’s rep is working to.
Construction project types we serve
- New commercial construction — office buildings, medical office buildings, bank branches, retail spaces, light industrial
- Tenant fit-outs and tenant improvements — new lease build-outs, suite reconfigurations, anchor-tenant turnover
- Renovations and remodels — office refresh, lobby/common-area updates, restroom remodels, kitchen/break-room reno
- Suite turnover and re-leasing prep — getting a vacant suite ready for the next tenant’s walk-through
- Roof, HVAC, and capital-improvement project cleanup — debris and dust management for owner-side maintenance projects
- Storm, water, and post-incident cleanup — rapid-response cleanup after burst pipes, roof leaks, or storm damage in coordination with restoration vendors
Phases of construction cleanup we handle
A typical commercial construction project runs through three or four cleanup phases. We can be brought in for any combination — or all of them, end to end:
- Rough cleanup — mid-project debris removal, gross trash haul, sweep-out before drywall finish or floor installation
- Post-construction final clean — the deep clean after trades are out: dust everywhere, residue on glass, paint splatter, sticker removal, fixture and fitting wipe-down, floor care
- Touch-up clean — the day-before-handover pass, after the punch list is closed and any last-touches by trades are complete
- White-glove ready-for-tenant clean — for executive offices, anchor tenants, or high-end commercial space where the first impression has to be perfect on day one
What’s included in a Fraser Commercial post-construction cleanup
Construction cleanup scopes are project-specific, but a typical post-construction final clean covers everything below. We’ll customize the scope to match your project’s phase, square footage, and handover timeline:

How we crew and schedule construction projects
Construction cleanup runs differently than recurring janitorial. We staff up with the crew size your timeline needs, work to your handover date, and stay flexible if the schedule shifts (because it always does). For most commercial projects, we walk the space with you or your GC before the project starts to understand the scope, the timeline, and any specific protocols. We provide a project-specific written quote and a clear invoice tied to the milestones agreed up front.
We carry general liability insurance and our crews are bonded; we’ll add your project, your GC, or your ownership entity as named insured on request. Every cleaner assigned to your project is background-checked. We’ll work to your site-specific safety, PPE, and access protocols, and we coordinate with your GC’s site supervisor on schedule and access.
