Modular Concepts provides construction cleanup services across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island from our Marlborough headquarters. Crews follow the general contractor's schedule with a rough clean, a final clean before the punch walk, and a touch-up before turnover. Each phase is quoted on its own. Service after turnover is month to month, with no long-term contract.




Construction cleanup services cover the inside of a commercial project, from the last heavy trade to turnover. A rough clean clears heavy dust and light debris. A final clean details every room ahead of the punch walk. A touch-up follows the punch repairs.
The schedule belongs to the general contractor, so the phases follow it. Your superintendent calls each one when its area is ready. A final clean done too early only gets dusted again.
The superintendent gets a sign-off at the end of each phase. After turnover, the building can move to a monthly program with the same Modular contact. For the cleaning standard itself, see the post-construction cleaning page.
| Line on the quote | What it covers | When it runs |
|---|---|---|
| Rough clean | Sweep-out, light debris bagged, heavy dust removed | After the heavy trades |
| Final clean | Every room from the ceiling down, floors last | Ahead of the punch walk |
| Touch-up | Dust and marks from punch repairs | After punch repairs, before turnover |
| Add-on lines | New glass, a first floor finish, pressure washing | Only when the project needs them |

Construction sites are different to clean because the building is not finished, the dates move, and other trades are still inside. A job site has a superintendent, a safety plan, and a schedule that changes by the week.
Site rules come first. Crews attend the orientation, sign in, and wear the PPE the site requires. Parking, the hoist or elevator, and delivery hours are settled before the first phase.
Trades come back. A painter touches up a wall. An electrician opens a ceiling tile. Each visit leaves dust in a clean room. The touch-up phase is there for that, so nobody buys the final clean twice.
New finishes mark easily. Floor protection stays down until the superintendent releases it, and wet work waits for finishes that are still curing.

General contractors pick Modular for three reasons: phases set to their schedule, a certificate for each project, and one contact until turnover.
Every project has its own quote, phase by phase. A monthly program after turnover runs month to month. Customers stay about eight years on average.
General liability is $2,000,000 through Northeast Insurance. Workers' compensation is through Travelers. The certificate names the general contractor, the owner, or both.
Everyone placed on site is background-checked. Crews attend your orientation and wear the PPE the site requires. The same assigned crew returns for each phase.
Rough, final, and touch-up each get a line and a definition of ready. When the punch list grows, the quote shows what the touch-up covers.
The Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office certifies Modular. On work paid for with state funds, that helps the project team meet its vendor rules.
Green Seal trained crews switch to low-odor products when people work next to the renovation. Green cleaning is available on request.
The phase cleans are the core of the project. The other three are separate lines, added when the job needs them.
Every project needs cleaning at three points. The rough clean follows the heavy trades, so finish work starts in a clean space. The final clean details each room from the ceiling down, ahead of the punch walk. The touch-up returns after punch repairs. Buy one phase or all three.

New glass arrives with stickers, protective film, and a coat of jobsite dust. Modular removes the labels and film, then cleans the glass, frames, sills, and tracks. The work is timed after the painters and before the punch walk. Exterior glass above ground level stays outside this scope.

A new floor needs to be cleaned and protected before it takes traffic. Modular scrubs new VCT and lays the first coats of finish once the installer releases the floor. Vinyl, tile, and epoxy get a machine scrub. The floor care program covers 750,000+ square feet a year, including carpet cleaning. Hard surfaces only: wood floors and polished concrete stay with their installers.

Months of deliveries leave mud and tire marks on the way to the front door. Pressure washing clears entry walks, steps, and front pads once the fencing and trailers are gone. Dock aprons and the dumpster pad can join the same visit. New concrete is washed only after the contractor confirms it has cured.

From the first site walk to turnover in five steps.
The superintendent or project manager walks it with us, for about an hour. Floors, glass, access, and the turnover date are written down.
Rough, final, and touch-up are priced apart. The quote says what ready means for each phase.
The certificate names the general contractor, the owner, or both. Orientation, badging, PPE, parking, and delivery hours are settled before the first phase.
Your superintendent calls each phase when its area is ready. A sign-off ends each one.
The same crew returns after punch repairs. A schedule or drawing change updates the quote first. At turnover, a monthly program can begin.
Construction cleanup services are priced per project after a site walk, not from a posted rate card. Modular Concepts quotes the rough clean, the final clean, and the touch-up as separate lines across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Three things set the number: the areas in scope, how many passes each one needs, and the tasks each pass covers.
The walk takes about an hour with the superintendent. Bring the drawings, the finish schedule, and the turnover date.
The project is split into areas, so a phase can be released floor by floor.
A project is counted in passes, not nights per week. The phases you choose and any return visits set this part.
Each phase has its own task list. A rough clean is sweeping and heavy dust. The final clean carries the longest list.
Areas, passes, and tasks become lines. Each phase has its own price, and add-ons stay apart. A monthly program after turnover is its own number.
Steps advance on their own. Tap a hex to hold it.
Bring the finish schedule and the turnover date to the walk. The quote then lines up with the schedule, phase by phase.
Modular Concepts handles commercial construction cleanup from a one-suite fit-out to a ground-up building, across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The three phases stay the same. The site rules, the finishes, and the neighbors change.
One suite is built out inside a building that stays open. The suite gets the three phases. The corridor and freight path join the quote when the trades used them.
A new building puts every floor in play. Phases are released floor by floor as the trades finish. Walks and entries are an add-on once the fencing comes out.
Exam rooms and casework must be free of construction dust before equipment arrives. Medical equipment stays with its installer. Cleaning after opening follows the medical program.
Summer projects end on a date that cannot move, the first day of class. The renovated wing gets the three phases. A wood gym floor stays with its installer.
The offices, restrooms, and break room in a new plant or warehouse get the three phases. The open floor can be machine scrubbed as an add-on. Racking stays with its installer.
One floor is under construction while the others keep working. Crews use evening or overnight passes and low-odor products. The elevator and the route to the floor can join the quote.
Debris hauling, dumpsters, demolition, and any hazardous material, lead, or asbestos work stay with the general contractor and its licensed vendors. Retail store build-outs are outside this scope. After turnover, an office project moves to the office buildings program.
Modular has no general contractor review to show yet. These Google reviews are about one-time deep cleaning done to a date, quoted as written.
“I retained Modular Cleaning for a one time thorough, deep cleaning of a property getting ready to be sold. They were quite professional, and gave me a very accurate and detailed estimate. The cleaning was completed right on schedule, and was of outstanding quality.”
“We had retained Modular Cleaning to do a deep cleaning in a couple of our group homes before a state inspection. They did such a fantastic job that we have now retained them to do quarterly cleaning in all 4 of our homes as well as semi annual cleanings in our main office.”
These answers are for the people running the job. For how each phase is cleaned, see the service page for the three cleans.

Construction cleanup services include three phases of interior cleaning, each quoted as its own line. The rough clean removes heavy dust and light debris after the main trades. The final clean details every room ahead of the punch walk. The touch-up follows the punch repairs. New glass, a first floor finish, and pressure washing are add-on lines.
Construction cleanup services are priced per project after a site walk, with each phase as its own line. The areas in scope, the number of passes, and the tasks in each pass set the number. Floor types, glass, and site access change the crew time. There is no posted rate card and no long-term contract.
When the turnover date moves, the cleaning phases move with it. Each phase is tied to a ready point, not to a calendar day. Your superintendent calls the final clean once the dust-making work is done. If a crew arrives and the area is not ready, the visit is rescheduled. Any added cost is agreed in writing first.
No, Modular does not haul debris or supply dumpsters. Crews bag sweepings and light debris and carry them to the dumpster your site provides. Hauling, demolition, and any hazardous material, lead, or asbestos work stay with the general contractor and its licensed vendors. A crew that finds such material stops and tells the superintendent.
Yes, Modular crews follow the site safety rules your superintendent sets. They attend the orientation, sign in, and wear the PPE the site requires. Crews have basic in-house safety training, and everyone placed on site is background-checked. If your project requires a specific safety course or card, raise it on the walk.
Yes, Modular can keep cleaning the building after turnover on a monthly program. The project quote ends at turnover, and the monthly program starts as a new scope with the same contact. Service is month to month with no long-term contract, and the scope can change with 30 days notice. The janitorial services and commercial cleaning pages explain the nightly work.
Yes, the certificate of insurance can name the general contractor, the owner, or both, for each project address. General liability is $2,000,000 through Northeast Insurance, and workers' compensation is through Travelers. Modular is fully bonded. Ask for a copy for the project file. Each new project gets its own certificate.
Yes, Modular takes on commercial construction cleanup in Connecticut and Rhode Island, not only in Massachusetts. Project crews are sent from Marlborough, Massachusetts. They serve Connecticut job sites around Hartford and Rhode Island job sites around Providence. A contractor with jobs in more than one state keeps one Modular contact and the same phased quote.
After turnover, most projects move to one of these monthly programs.
