A final clean after an apartment renovation in Brooklyn costs $350 for a studio up to $750 for a 3-bedroom, flat for homes up to 1,500 sq ft, and $0.50 per sq ft above that. Offices and shops start at $0.60 per sq ft for the final clean, $0.30 for a rough clean and $0.20 for a touch-up.
Homes are priced flat by size; offices, shops and other commercial spaces are priced per square foot for each phase. Most homeowners book the final clean; larger projects add a rough clean and a touch-up.
The short answer: a 1-bedroom apartment after a kitchen renovation costs $475 for the final clean, a 2-bedroom $600. A whole 3,500 sq ft brownstone after a gut renovation costs about $1,750 for the final clean ($0.50 per sq ft).

Rough clean. Large debris and packaging removed (disposal runs coordinated with you), floors HEPA-vacuumed and swept, dust removed from window sills, ledges and the inside of open walls, so the next trade starts on a clean site.
Final clean. Every surface top to bottom: ceilings and light fixtures, walls and trim, inside and outside every cabinet and drawer, appliances inside and out, inside windows and glass partitions, bathrooms including grout, vents and grilles, and the floors, vacuumed and washed with a product safe for the finish.
Touch-up. The dust that comes out of walls and floors in the weeks after, plus anything the punch-list repairs disturbed: one pass over surfaces, glass and floors.
Ceilings over 10 feet need ladders or the contractor’s lift for fixtures, beams and the tops of windows.
Exposed brick, timber and old plaster keep shedding dust and take longer than painted drywall.
New tile, grout haze, cabinet interiors and appliances are the slowest work in any renovation.
Paint specks on glass, label glue and silicone add time. Paint on wood or stone is left for the painter.
Same-week final cleans are usually possible; a fixed opening date the day after the last trade may need a bigger crew.
A site with debris already removed and protection still down costs less than one where the crew starts with cleanup.
In Brooklyn brownstones the most common renovation areas are Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens; warehouse lofts and office build-outs are mostly in DUMBO. Manhattan projects use the same price list; see the Manhattan section of our post-construction page.
The same four steps as the crew’s written work order. Inside appliances, inside cabinets and drawers, inside windows and glass partitions are included.
