Your new space deserves a fresh start
After a renovation, your space might look finished, but it isn’t move-in ready. Fine dust ends up inside drawers, behind fixtures, and in the air you breathe. It clings to surfaces and keeps showing up no matter how many times you wipe. Removing this kind of residue takes more than basic tools and good intentions, it takes people who know what they’re doing—and that’s where we step in.
At Zen Home Cleaning, we understand how construction dust behaves, how to remove it properly, and how to get your home to a truly livable state. Most cleaning companies in NY aren’t built for this kind of job. We are. Post-construction cleaning is not just something we offer—it’s something we specialize in. You’ve invested in your space, and we’re here to make sure you can actually enjoy it.

What guides us
Zen Home Cleaning started with a simple but powerful idea: that a space shouldn’t just look good after a renovation, it should feel good too. In 2005, interior designer Deanna Hains founded the company after struggling to find one that met her standards for both luxury and well-being.
What began as a personal solution quickly became a trusted service built on design-conscious detail, attentiveness, and a commitment to green cleaning practices. From major remodels to subtle upgrades, our work is the final step that transforms a finished project into a livable, breathable, truly welcoming home.
Dust settles. We don't.
After months of noise and disruption, your home deserves a thoughtful reset. That’s exactly why our post-renovation cleaning service is detailed, deliberate, and done with care. This isn’t a job we rush. We take the time to notice what others miss, removing fine construction dust, gently polishing new finishes, and restoring balance to every corner.
But we also go beyond the basics, leaving behind small touches, like a handwritten note, organic chocolate on your pillow, slippers placed by the bed. A quiet thank-you that says: you’ve made it through the hard part, now let it feel like home. Our NY clients often tell us their homes don’t just look better after we’re done—they’re inviting and more uplifting. That’s the difference we’re proud to deliver.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I really need a post-construction cleaning service?
Absolutely. A professional post-construction cleaning service in NYC handles fine dust, adhesive residue, and construction debris that regular cleaners often miss. We use commercial-grade equipment and follow safety protocols, which is especially important in New York’s fast-paced, high-standards environment. This kind of service saves you time, protects your new surfaces, and leaves everything spotless and ready to use.
How is after-remodeling cleaning different from regular cleaning?
Post-renovation cleaning services go beyond surface-level dusting. Remodeling kicks up fine dust that settles everywhere—on trim, vents, light fixtures, and inside cabinets. Unlike regular home upkeep, this type of service includes deep cleaning, debris removal, and detailed work to get the space move-in ready. In New York City, where space is precious and cleanliness is key, hiring experts ensures no corner is overlooked after your big upgrade.
Is new construction home cleaning necessary if the builder already cleaned?
Yes, it definitely is. Even if the builders do a basic cleanup, it usually just scratches the surface. There’s still dust in vents, stickers on windows, and smudges in places you might not notice right away. In NYC, where expectations are high and every detail counts, it’s worth bringing in experts in new construction cleaning to give your new place a proper treatment. That way, you can move in knowing everything’s truly fresh and ready.
How much does post-renovation cleaning cost?
Pricing for post renovation cleaning services really depends on the size of your place, how messy the renovation was, and what tasks you wish the service to include. In NYC, it can vary quite a bit, but most people find it’s totally worth it for the time and stress it saves. The best move is to get a quote upfront so you know exactly what’s included, so feel free to contact us for more info!

It took some back-and-forths before all my wishes were met, but they now are. Customer service is wonderfully responsive and Sylvia is a great housekeeper with fabulous energy. I love being welcomed back to my apartment with the smell of lavender; I love knowing it's been cleaned with organic products
Marylene S.Zen Home Cleaning did an INCREDIBLE job on our post construction clean. The whole team went above and beyond to make our house a home. They worked extra hours, cleaned every single corner, no detail left unnoticed - I was blown away by the work they did. It really made our lives easier and better to have such care taken in our home, so we could move in to a clean space. We are grateful for the hours and the effort and couldn't recommend Zen highly enough, especially our team Sam, Dale & Tyasia. WOW.
Duvall O. – 5/9/22This was our second move-in cleaning and once again Zen was fantastic. Thanks for the great service and follow up all around. Would use again and recommend highly.
GeoffreyZen Home was very easy to book and reasonably priced. My professional cleaning consultant arrived on time, was very pleasant & thoughtful, even asking for my scent preferences!
I can home to a perfectly cleaned and organized home, and now I plan to use them regularly!
Deborah K. – 3/4/22First time home cleaning client with Zen Home Cleaning (or any other home cleaning service) and I'm extremely pleased. Carine was a diligent, understanding and adaptable person who did a very excellent job cleaning my 95 year old aunt's apartment in NYC. With two seniors to care for, I need help!! Carine was awesome and I will ask for her again for future jobs. Relieved that this was a very rewarding experience!
Irene C.I'd like to take this opportunity to offer my thanks to Zen Cleaning. I've been at One57 for the last eight months and Zen Cleaning has performed splendidly during the entire time.
Most fundamentally, I'd like to especially thank Devonte. He's tremendously focused on accommodating the client on all things, large and small. It got to the point where I'd always ask that Devonte be the one to come over and clean the apartment - he's that great! Very detail-oriented and extremely courteous, Devonte is the consummate professional and is truly an Ambassador for the Zen Cleaning Organization. I can't recommend him, or Zen Cleaning enough.
–A big thank you to Beni and Sam for the post construction cleaning they just completed in our NYC duplex apartment. We've just had major construction completed and the whole place was filled with dirt & dust...as well as packing boxes. Sam and Beni were here on the dot of 8:30am and worked solidly to complete the job. The company needed a little extra time to complete the work but that was mentioned in the original quote and was expected at the final invoice. I'm very happy with the work and would recommend this service to others looking through reviews to get an idea of great professional options available. The company is also very good at communicating and happily walked me through the work after it was completed. Thank you
John C.I love Zen Home. I've been using them for 2 years now for every other week and have to say they are the best. They are very careful around my cats, I have two and love that their employees are very friendly to them. I also love the aromatherapy part of the service too. The use these special essential oils when cleaning so the place smells amazing.
Yvette JohnsonI have now been a client for a year now. Zen Home is still the best cleaning service ever. Just when I think my apartment couldn't possibly be any cleaner, they outdo themselves. I am consistently impressed by the above and beyond efforts and I feel very fortunate to have had the honor of having them tend to my home over the past year.

“The Eco-Friendly element has proved a magnet for clients with health problems like asthma…Her business concept came from her own frustration with cleaning services who used harsh, toxic products.”
“A visit from Zen home give the home the type of treatment one might expect from a five-star hotel, complete with a turn-down service, diffusion of aromatherapy oils, and organic chocolates on the pillow.”
“Imagine: spotless windows, shining countertops, sparkling hardwood, and squeaky clean ovens. Zen Home stops at nothing to get the job done.”
“I’d book Zen Home, a cleaning service that uses non-toxic products. They burn essential oils while they clean and leave organic chocolates on your pillow.”
