Exterior Cleanup After New Construction
Builders leave behind mud, mortar and sealant smears. Cleaning them the wrong way can damage new materials.
New concrete needs time
Fresh concrete should cure before sealing, generally around 28 days, per cement industry guidance.
Brick and mortar residue
The Brick Industry Association cautions that cleaning new brick requires the right cleaner and plenty of pre-wetting to avoid staining.
Windows
Stickers, paint specks and construction dust need careful removal to avoid scratching glass.
What to avoid
- Muriatic acid on new brick without guidance.
- Razor blades on tempered glass.
When to call a professional
Call a pro for post-construction washes of brick, stone, concrete and windows. See our window cleaning service.
What customers say
"1st Class did a great job cleaning the windows and vinyl on my home. The windows were in rough shape and they helped me remove the old screens and get all of the dirt and cobwebs that had built up. Would definitely recommend and use them again!"
