Builder Final Cleans That Are Ready for Walkthrough
Final, touch-up, and rough cleaning for newly completed homes throughout the Rio Grande Valley. ClearNest cleans the home against a written scope and hands it back documented, so the walkthrough is about the build—not about the dust.

The problem
A maid service is not a final clean.
Construction dust settles back twice before a home is genuinely finished. It sits on top of cabinets, inside vents, in window tracks, and under the finish protection—places routine house cleaning is never scoped to reach.
A builder final clean is a construction scope: dust extraction, detail work on finishes and fixtures, and a check against the written scope before the home is released for walkthrough.
New home services
Three phases, scoped and priced separately.
The Builder Final Clean is the primary service. Rough and touch-up cleaning are quoted as their own scopes, so you only buy the phases the home actually needs.
Primary service
Builder Final Clean
For newly completed homes before walkthrough
The detailed final clean that takes a finished home from trade-complete to ready for the buyer walkthrough or release.
Performed against a site-specific written scope
HEPA-filtered vacuum equipment on construction dust
Quality control before the home is released
Photo-documented completion where the builder asks for it
Separately scoped
Touch-Up / Punch Clean
For punch work and buyer walkthrough preparation
Cleaning for areas disturbed after the final clean, so the home presents properly on walkthrough day rather than the day it was cleaned.
Punch-list and trade-return areas
Buyer walkthrough preparation
Scoped and scheduled separately from the final clean
Coordinated around your release date
Separately scoped
Rough Clean
Available when the build schedule calls for it
Interim cleaning while trades are still working, quoted separately when the home and schedule make it appropriate.
Scoped per home rather than assumed
Priced from the walkthrough
Does not include debris removal or trade cleanup
Approved in writing before it is performed
Walkthrough to turnover
Five steps, every project.
01
Project walkthrough
We walk the project, review conditions, access, trade status, and the finish the team needs.
02
Scope and schedule
A site-specific scope is written in plain language, then coordinated around the project's schedule.
03
Clean the agreed scope
A briefed crew performs the agreed scope, using HEPA-filtered vacuum equipment on construction dust.
04
Quality control
ClearNest checks the work against the written scope before the space is released.
05
Turnover
Completion confirmation and photo documentation where the project calls for them.
What the project team receives
A vendor your office and your superintendent can both work with.
The cleaning scope is defined, executed, verified, and documented—so a completed home closes out like any other scope on the build.
Insured and vendor ready. Insured service, with a certificate of insurance and W-9 available for your vendor onboarding.
Site-specific written scope. Inclusions, exclusions, and assumptions are written for the project before the crew is scheduled.
HEPA dust extraction. HEPA-filtered vacuum equipment is used on construction work, so fine dust is captured rather than moved.
Photo-documented completion. Completion photos and sign-off when the project team asks for them.
Project-team communication. One point of contact for scheduling, scope questions, and completion.
Walkthrough-based pricing. Priced from what we see on site, not from a form or a square-foot guess.
Change control. Added work is approved in writing before it is performed or billed.
Local RGV company. Independently operated in the Rio Grande Valley, working across the Valley.
ClearNest does not publish photographs of client construction projects. The work shown elsewhere on this site is our own residential and general cleaning.
A low-risk way to start
Start with one home.
Most builders start ClearNest on a single home so they can see the written scope, the dust control, the quality control, and the completion photos before putting a community or a release schedule on it.
If we missed something inside the agreed scope, tell us within 24 hours and we will come back and correct it at no additional cost. Cleaning required after other trades return to the space is scoped and quoted as additional work.
Already have a cleaning contractor?
Be the backup that is already scoped.
Plenty of builders already have a cleaning crew. Closings still move up, homes still finish in clusters, and crews still fall through on the week a buyer walkthrough is booked.
Keep your current vendor on the work they handle well. We will walk the project, hold a written scope and price, and be ready when a date moves or a scope opens up.
Outside the scope
What we flag instead of assuming.
Trade completion, punch work, and debris removal
Hazardous or biohazard conditions and mold remediation
Specialty restoration and any unsafe or inaccessible area
Anything outside the written scope, which needs written approval first
Commercial projects
Same standard, larger footprint.
ClearNest performs the same final, touch-up, and rough cleaning on commercial construction — ground-up builds, tenant improvements, and renovations — for general contractors and project teams across the Valley.
Tell us about the home. We’ll walk it and write the scope.
Builder final cleans are priced from the home, not from a form. Send the community, the home, and a preferred date, and we’ll confirm a walkthrough time.

The Pre-Final-Clean Readiness Checklist
A short checklist for builders and field managers covering the things that most often slow down final cleaning and turnover — so they get handled before the crew is scheduled, not discovered on walkthrough day.
