San Clemente Post Construction Cleaning

In San Clemente, the newest homes are often the smallest. The city's latest progress report shows accessory dwelling units as the largest type of new housing. Doctor Clean does the final clean on those units and on remodels near the pier and downtown. We also clean new suites, studios and shops in San Clemente. Each person we send to a San Clemente job has been vetted and background checked. You see the checklist in writing before we book the day.

Accessory dwelling units behind San Clemente homes

The city's annual progress report counts 33 accessory dwelling units completed in the report year. Another 37 were permitted and 12 entitled. A unit like this is small, but it has a full kitchen, a bathroom and new windows. The drywall dust is the same as in a large house, packed into fewer square feet. We clean the cabinets, appliance fronts, bathroom and glass, then the floor. A small unit is a short visit. Tell us whether the main house needs a clean too, since dust can cross the yard on the trades' shoes.

Red tile and white stucco near the pier

City policy requires Spanish Colonial Revival design for new buildings and major remodels in three areas. They are the Del Mar and T-Zone downtown, North Beach and the Pier Bowl. The city's founder wrote that style into every deed. It brings red tile roofs and whitewashed stucco walls. Textured stucco can hold construction dust longer than smooth paint does. So can the grout in a new tile floor. We dust the textured walls, then clean the tile and grout on the floor last. The Sunday farmers market closes the 200 block of Avenida Del Mar, so downtown work happens Monday through Saturday.

Sea Summit, and new sand at the pier

The city's financial report calls Sea Summit its last undeveloped area, with more than 300 homes and an open retail center. Further phases, including stores and a hotel, are planned there. A new shop at Sea Summit needs its shelving, restroom, glass and floor cleaned before it opens. The same report describes a 50 year beach sand restoration project centered on the pier. Dredge pipelines went in during 2023. The city counts more than 2 million visitors a year, and the pier draws many of them. While sand is being placed, homes and shops near the pier see more of it at the door. Near the pier, ask the trades to keep the doors shut after the clean.

The contractor removes heavy debris, hazardous material and construction waste from a San Clemente job. A written agreement can change that, and nothing else does. Broken roof tile and stucco offcuts are part of that waste.

Cleaning profile

We suggest the Standard profile for most San Clemente units, remodels and shops. A new tenant with sensitivities can ask for the Hypoallergenic profile, with its HEPA vacuum and microfiber cloths. Compare the products for an accessory dwelling unit on the cleaning profiles page.

Questions about this service

Do you clean a new accessory dwelling unit in San Clemente before a tenant moves in?

Yes, Doctor Clean cleans new San Clemente accessory dwelling units from the light fixtures down to the floor. Send the square footage, photographs and the move in date. A small unit is a short visit, and you receive the price by email along with the checklist.

How do you clean textured stucco after a San Clemente remodel?

We dust textured stucco walls from the top down, so the dust falls to the floor before the floor is cleaned. In a San Clemente home with tile floors, the grout lines get detail last. Tell us which rooms have textured walls when you ask for a price.

Can you avoid the Sunday farmers market on Avenida Del Mar?

Yes, we can. The San Clemente farmers market closes the 200 block of Avenida Del Mar on Sundays. Downtown final cleans go on other days. Weekday mornings and evenings both work by arrangement. Tell us the date your shop or suite opens.

Will the pier sand project affect a final clean near the San Clemente pier?

It can, during the weeks when sand is being placed. Homes and shops close to the San Clemente pier then get more sand at the door and on the floors. Photographs show us how much sand came in during the work. After the clean, keep the doors shut.

Do you clean new homes and shops at Sea Summit in San Clemente?

Yes, Doctor Clean cleans new and rebuilt homes and retail suites at Sea Summit. The city says further phases, including stores and a hotel, are planned there. Send the square footage, photographs and the handover or opening date. The price follows by email.
