Post-Construction Window Cleaning San Clemente — Paint, Cement, and Stucco Removed
New construction and renovation leave paint overspray, stucco splatter, cement haze, and adhesive residue on glass. Professional post-construction cleaning removes it without scratching the surface.
What Post-Construction Glass Contamination Looks Like
Post-construction window cleaning in San Clemente addresses contamination from three primary sources: paint overspray from exterior painting and trim work, stucco splatter and cement haze from plaster and masonry, and adhesive residue from window installation tape and protective films. Standard cleaning products do not remove these — they require specific chemical removal techniques matched to the contamination type.
Talega and Forster Ranch new builds are the most common post-construction clients in San Clemente. New developments in Rancho San Clemente also generate ongoing demand for construction cleaning on newly-delivered homes.
Our Post-Construction Process
Step 1: Identify contamination type and assess glass surface (standard float glass vs LOW-E vs tempered). Step 2: Apply appropriate chemical treatment matched to contamination. Step 3: Safe removal using the correct tools for the glass type. Step 4: Deionized water wash and squeegee to final finish. Step 5: Inspection under polarized light. Final walkthrough with contractor or homeowner before payment.
We do not use razor blades on LOW-E coated glass — a common mistake that permanently damages the coating and voids glass warranties.
Pricing for Post-Construction Cleaning
Post-construction cleaning is quoted per-job after a quick assessment of contamination level and glass count. It runs 30–60% above standard residential pricing due to additional time and specialized chemicals. Most Talega and Forster Ranch new-build homes quote between $350 and $650 depending on size and contamination level.

Yes, if done correctly. We check for LOW-E coating before starting and use appropriate technique. Razor blades on LOW-E glass permanently damage the coating — we never use them on coated surfaces regardless of the contamination type.
