Hi Angela Brown cleaning, am actually looking to grow my cleaning business to post construction clean but I do not know how to go about it, do you mind sharing hints on this please? Thanks

[@angelatimpson2169]

Thanks so much again Angela for introducing us to Mr. Hanson. I am grateful for your care and concern for us to be in tuned and knowledgeable of the post-construction area of cleaning. I appreciate you as you know our struggles and how we could best benefit from years of experience that you and Mr. Hanson have in the custodial/janitorial world. Thank you. I am learning a lot.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You are so welcome

Post- Construction cleaning is no joke. I have done plenty of Post-Construction jobs on the residential and commercial side. A good tool to have is a LED flash light. It will save your business for sure. Your flashlight will show all your imperfections.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Great tip, thanks so much for sharing it with our community. ❤️

[@alexvidu4517]

Great video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Chiveard Racing World Framework (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a good one off product for learning how to start a successful handyman business without the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my GF after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.

That's a awesome tip

Wow! Just came upon this episode after I just got done with a 7 hour PC job. Floors are the worst on PC jobs. I’ve learned to use Mineral spirits (after sweeping / vacuuming ) to remove the dust, particles. You must clean EVERY inch of PC jobs. Screens washed thoroughly also. Thanks, Angela!!!! I’ve been waiting for this due to the fact my cleaning business model is Post construction & renovation.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching. 🙂

[@americansweetheart5597]

I'm so blessed. I'm a journeyman painter so I was already so used to being in the second to last phase of construction. While on the painting crew I would always get in trouble for cleaning 🤣 they would say "the cleaning lady's will do that". But I honestly had an ethical objection to painting around windows with drywall mud and texture blasted all over it...why would I paint next to something so filthy? Why would that be on the brand new windows in the first place? Each trade keeps passing the buck until the last man. Painting should be the last step in my opinion. Cleaning before painting. Or how about both! 😊

Thanks so much for sharing, I appreciate it : )

I had my first post construction job today! I’m glad I watched this video first. VERY informative! I definitely did not charge enough. I underestimated how strenuous it would be. To say I’m wiped out is an understatement. I would do it again though. :-). Thanks Angela!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

LOL. Thanks for watching. And if it's the first post construction job, then the good news is you will get to do it again in a couple of weeks when the dust settles as they say. In post construction it always does. Small repairs and boom - there's more dust. They will be calling back. :-)

[@jgfishz1zz1]

can I ask what sort of price? Im in australia and have my first job coming up, hoping I am charging enough

[@americansweetheart5597]

@@jgfishz1zz1 I charge a minimum fee of $500 that will get you up to 2,000 sf then $0.25 per square foot after that. That's for the Seattle area.

I was offered a post construction clean up job at a dollar tree/family dollar store that was just built next door to my parents. Hoping it all works out great. Taking a helper with me. This is my first time doing a PC cleaning. I have years experience in residential cleaning.

[@process4profits]

@@cutejumbe1337 it all depends on the job you are bidding on. Commercial is different from residential, custom homes are different from builder grade. Also, take into consideration the workmanship of the trades. Good luck.

@@process4profits I live in Texas, and started cleaning post construction they offered me .08 cents for rough and final clean in between I go back for clean ups 50. Additional each time. I feel like the work is worth so much more for these residential home’s which range from 2200-3200 square foot.

[@ledenehasenauer2738]

@@kv8469 .08 is way too cheap. Been doing pcc for 18/19yrs. Recently went up to .35. Was at .19/.21 for years and any less isn't worth it imo unless in desperate situation. Of course that is all inclusive 1 time clean. To come back would be by hr.

[@ryansteffen8169]

One thing we use in the movie industry a lot is Kleensweep. It’s an oil based sweeping compound that is good on smooth concrete for keeping dust down as you sweep. It’s also easy to keep track of your progress as you move along. You could also get an industrial shop vac too. Those things are bomb proof.

Great advice. Thanks so much for sharing. :-)

My house had a nice layer tn of drywall and tile dust in many places but after this video I see why. It's not easy

[@AskAngelaBrown]

We just had some home renovations and after 8 weeks every time the air kicks on it kicks up more construction dust. We've cleaned the house from top to bottom dozens of times and there are still traces of it. I feel your pain.

[@vickycolunga5435]

Thank you Miss. Angela!! Your a blessing lady.. Thank you sir!!

[@amberestes2971]

What are your tips for the floors in post construction. Specifically for larger scale buildings with the snap in flooring or clay tiles?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

LOL. 12 moppings. We just did a post construction job that had lots of dust. We changed the air filters, dusted everything and when the air kicked on bam! Another coat of dust covered the place. We are about 10 moppings in so far and the find layer keeps resettling. Each time a little less than the time before - but with post construction, the dust is in the vents, the fabrics, the carpets, the drapes, on the walls and ceilings...it just takes time and patience.

[@HayHayHayify]

@@AskAngelaBrown What are putting on the mops for for the floors? Just water to get up all the dust?

Angela, a question, though not related to this video: We are getting ready to put our (older) home on the market. It’s empty and I need it cleaned and maintained until the house sells (honestly, I’ve been cleaning-as-I-go, along with painters and repairs, so it’s not THAT dirty). When looking for a house cleaning service, how many should you interview before making a decision? Do I need to be as picky about who I hire for this job as I would be if it was for my occupied home?

[@benjaminmwangangi8731]

Margaret, I understand stand that this question is directed to Angela. But if I may respond to it, I would give you this famous line that if you had 10 chances to convince someone to buy your product, how many chances will it take to convince the person?. . It would only take ONE chance. Thanks

How to figure how many people you’ll needed to post construction like self storage facility from the beginning till finish

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Make an estimate of the size of the project, how long it's expected to take, and what tasks are involved. You can check industry guidelines or use construction management tools to get a good estimate of the number of people you'll need from the beginning to the end of the project.
