Post Construction Cleaning in Tigard, OR

Your Tigard Triangle TI is two days from CO inspection. Drywall dust on every horizontal surface, manufacturer film on every window, adhesive residue on the new LVT, and the painters left dust on top of the millwork. You do not need a janitor. You need a crew that runs CSI 01 74 23 final cleans for general contractors and can mobilize before your superintendent finishes his next safety walk.

RFQs answered within 4 hours, 7 days a week. COI to the GC within 24 hours of award.

Why Tigard Post-Construction Cleanup Is a Trade Skill, Not a Cleaning Job

The construction industry has its own spec for what we do. CSI MasterFormat Section 01 74 23, Final Cleaning. Every well-written set of project documents on a Tigard Triangle mixed-use buildout, a Washington Square office TI, or a Bull Mountain medical suite references it. If your post-construction vendor cannot tell you what 01 74 23 is, they are a residential cleaner moonlighting on commercial work, and they will leave you with drywall dust circulating through the new HVAC for the first six months of occupancy.

The mess on a Tigard project is also substrate-specific. Drywall dust bonds to anything porous, including the inside of every supply and return run. Paint overspray lands on brushed aluminum trim and ghosts in raking light. Adhesive residue from manufacturer film bakes into LVT and polished concrete if you peel it the wrong way. Grout haze films across the new tile in the breakroom. Each of these needs a different solvent, a different scraper or pad, and a different sequence so you do not undo finished work three steps back.

Tigard adds two local wrinkles. Pacific Highway and the Tigard Triangle are active redevelopment zones, so adjacent shells are constantly producing new dust during your final clean window. And Tigard winters track moisture into every entry off 99W and Main Street, so an entry mat that goes down at 8 AM has a saturated wet edge by 11 if you do not stage cleaning around the rain.

What this means for your CO inspection

The certificate of occupancy inspector is not looking for a polished space. They are looking for life-safety, exit signage, and finished construction. But the building owner walking the punch list with you the next morning is looking at smudges on the storefront, lint in the HVAC return, and adhesive ghosts on the brushed aluminum. We clean for the second walkthrough, not the first.

The 2-Phase Process We Run on Every Tigard Project

Most Tigard TIs need only the final pass. Most ground-up new builds need both phases. We bid them as a two-pass quote so you can hold the rough scope back if your GC kept the site clean during drywall.

Phase 1

Rough Clean

When: After drywall and mechanicals, before paint and flooring

Pace on a typical Tigard project: roughly one day per 5,000 sqft with a two-person crew, faster if the GC ran a tidy site.

  • HEPA-filtered ProTeam vacuum on framing, top plates, and rough-in conduit
  • Debris, packaging, drywall scraps, and cut-offs to the dumpster
  • Filtered shop-vac on horizontal surfaces and sills
  • First-pass exterior glass wipe so finish trades have light
  • Visible debris cleared from HVAC openings before balancing
  • Suite swept and stage-broom cleaned for finish handoff
Phase 2

Final Clean (CSI 01 74 23)

When: After every trade is off-site and the punch list is closed

This is the pass that hands you a CO-ready space. We do not leave until the GC superintendent walks it.

  • Manufacturer film, stickers, and protective covering off every window, fixture, appliance
  • Substrate-specific work: drywall dust off HVAC, overspray off brushed aluminum, adhesive off LVT and polished concrete, grout haze off tile
  • Light fixtures, switch plates, outlet covers, thermostats wiped
  • Baseboards, trim, door frames, and inside cabinets detailed
  • Floors HEPA-vacuumed and finish-mopped per substrate
  • Restrooms detailed, sanitized, and ready for occupancy
  • Pre-CO walkthrough with GC superintendent and 24-hour re-clean guarantee

The Tigard Projects We Get Called For

Tigard is not one job type. The Triangle, 99W, Washington Square, Bull Mountain, and the Main Street corridor each produce different post-construction work, and the buyer on each is a different person.

Tigard Triangle mixed-use TI

The Triangle redevelopment along 72nd, 68th, and Dartmouth keeps producing TIs that have to fit a CO deadline tied to a tenant lease start. We run final cleans on suites between 2,000 and 12,000 sqft while shells next door are still in framing. Negative-air HEPA filtration and sealed vents are standard. The GC superintendent gets a re-clean window built into the bid.

Pacific Highway and 99W storefront and dealership work

99W is auto dealership row and active retail TI ground. Storefront glass with manufacturer Mylar, polished concrete with adhesive ghosts, and brushed aluminum trim with paint overspray are the three things we deal with on every 99W bid. Showroom floors get a detail pass with the right pad for sealed concrete, not a generic mop.

Washington Square area office TI

The office stock around Washington Square turns over with the trade area. Mid-size suites between 3,000 and 8,000 sqft, mostly final cleans, often after-hours so the surrounding tenants do not lose parking access. We coordinate with the property manager and the building engineer for after-hours building access and freight elevator scheduling.

Bull Mountain professional services buildouts

Dental, medical, accounting, and real estate suites going into the Bull Mountain professional services nodes off Bull Mountain Road and Beef Bend. Final cleans only on most of these. Operatory and exam-room work runs to the same standard as a CSI 01 74 23 office final, plus disinfection on every hard surface before the tenant brings in equipment.

Downtown Tigard Main Street, King City, and Durham

Main Street has been turning over with restaurant and small retail TI work as the downtown plan matures. King City and Durham buildouts on the Tigard-Tualatin border get the same 48-hour dispatch window. TI work near Bridgeport Village along the 217-99W approach falls in the same bid pool. We carry the COI on file for the GCs working that corridor.

Turnaround, Coordination, and What We Need From Your GC

Standard dispatch from confirmation is 48 hours into Tigard. We have mobilized within 24 hours when the scope is walked the same day and the punch list is closed. Tigard sits 18 miles from our Portland base on I-5 and 217, so windshield time is not the constraint. Crew size is. Tell us the sqft, the substrates, and the CO date, and we will hold a slot within four hours of your RFQ.

What we deliver

  • $2M general liability COI to the GC and landlord within 24 hours of award
  • Two-pass quote (rough plus final, or final only) on lump-sum or per-sqft basis
  • Background-checked W-2 leads on every Tigard project
  • HEPA-filtered ProTeam vacuums and filtered shop-vacs as standard kit
  • Pre-CO walkthrough with the superintendent and a 24-hour re-clean if anything fails
  • Night and weekend shifts at standard rate when the schedule requires it

What we need from your GC

  • Punch list closed before the final clean window opens
  • Utilities live: water, lights, HVAC powered for balancing
  • Materials, tools, and trade equipment off-site
  • Building access plan: badges, fobs, freight elevator window
  • Confirmation of which substrates are final-finish (helps us pick chemistry)
  • Notice if neighboring shells are still producing dust so we can stage

Pricing: Lump-Sum or Per-Sqft, Quoted After Walkthrough

We bid post-construction work two ways. Lump-sum for defined scope on a fixed schedule. Per-sqft when the GC wants a unit cost they can carry across multiple suites or phases. Either way, we quote after a 20-minute walkthrough. We will not give a number over the phone without seeing the substrates, the dust load, and the access plan.

Starting ranges for Tigard projects

  • Final clean only, 5,000 sqft TI: $1,800-$3,200. Most Washington Square and Triangle office TIs land here.
  • Rough plus final, 5,000 sqft new build: $3,500-$6,000. Includes phase 1 framing dust pull and phase 2 detail.
  • 15,000 sqft new build, heavy drywall dust: $9,000-$15,000. Higher end when HVAC was not masked during drywall.

These are starting ranges before walkthrough. Substrate mix, dust load, after-hours requirements, and CO timeline can move the number. We give you the final lump-sum or per-sqft inside 24 hours of the walkthrough, and we hold it.

Tigard Post-Construction FAQs

How much does post construction cleaning cost in Tigard?
We quote lump-sum or per-sqft after a walkthrough, and we will not give a number over the phone without seeing the site. As starting ranges for Tigard projects: a final-clean-only on a 5,000 sqft tenant improvement typically lands $1,800-$3,200. Rough plus final on a 5,000 sqft new build runs $3,500-$6,000. A 15,000 sqft new build with heavy drywall dust and unmasked HVAC runs $9,000-$15,000. The big swing variables are whether the GC masked vents during drywall, the substrate mix on finished floors, and whether you need both phases or just the final. We respond to RFQs within four hours.
Can you clean a Tigard Triangle TI while construction continues next door?
Yes, and the Triangle is where we do this most. The redevelopment along 72nd, 68th, and Dartmouth keeps drywall dust drifting through shared corridors and HVAC stacks even after your unit is sealed. We run negative-air HEPA filtration during the final clean and seal vents on completed suites with painter's tape and 6-mil poly until balancing. We coordinate with your GC superintendent on access windows, dust-control protocols, and lift sharing. If a neighboring unit is still in framing, we will not start a final clean on yours — that is a re-clean we both pay for. We will run the rough clean and stage the final for after the adjacent shell is closed.
Do you handle restaurant and retail TI cleanup along Pacific Highway and Downtown Tigard Main Street?
Yes. We have run TI final cleans for restaurant and retail buildouts along the 99W corridor near Bridgeport Village, in the Washington Square trade area, and in the Downtown Tigard Main Street revival district. Restaurant TIs add stainless polishing, hood and vent grease pre-clean, and grout-haze removal on quarry tile. Retail TIs add fixture detailing, Mylar removal from glass storefronts, and final-pass vacuuming on sealed concrete or LVT. We carry a $2M general liability policy and provide a COI to the GC and landlord before mobilizing — most Tigard landlords ask for it within 24 hours of award.
How fast can you dispatch a post construction crew to Tigard?
Standard dispatch from confirmation is 48 hours into Tigard. For CO-deadline jobs we have mobilized within 24 hours when the scope is walked the same day. Tigard sits 18 miles from our Portland base on I-5 and 217, so windshield time is not the bottleneck — crew availability is. If you tell us the address, sqft, target CO date, and whether trades are still on-site, we will hold a crew slot within four hours of your RFQ. We also do night and weekend shifts at standard rate when the schedule requires it. King City, Durham, and the Tigard-Tualatin border get the same dispatch window.
What's included in your final clean for a Tigard office TI?
Final clean follows CSI MasterFormat Section 01 74 23 as the baseline. Manufacturer film and stickers off every window, fixture, and appliance. Drywall dust pulled from every HVAC vent and return with a HEPA-filtered ProTeam. Substrate-specific cleaning: paint overspray off brushed aluminum, adhesive residue off LVT and polished concrete, grout haze off tile. Light fixtures, switch plates, outlet covers, and thermostats wiped. Baseboards, trim, door frames, inside of cabinets and drawers detailed. Floors HEPA-vacuumed and mopped per substrate. Restrooms detailed and sanitized. Pre-CO walkthrough with the GC superintendent and a 24-hour re-clean if anything fails CO inspection. We do not leave until your punch list is closed.
