Construction Light Fixtures (Per fixture)
Construction dust is a distinct environmental pollutant. Drywall particles and sanding residue are ultra-fine, meaning they settle into the intricate hardware and decorative joints of light fixtures where standard cleaning cannot reach. If left unmanaged, this construction film dulls your high-end fixtures and acts as a hidden abrasive that can wear down delicate factory finishes over time. This isn't just about appearance; it's about a necessary mechanical reset of your home's most prominent hardware after a renovation, ensuring that the air moving around these fixtures is no longer carrying irritants.
The biggest technical error in post-construction cleaning is applying moisture too early in the process. Drywall dust is highly reactive; when exposed to water, it can emulsify into a cement-like paste that bonds to metal and glass, becoming nearly impossible to remove without aggressive scrubbing that risks permanent damage. Furthermore, haphazardly attempting to remove paint overspray or construction adhesive can ruin fragile finishes. You need a process that prioritizes asset protection through a "dry-first" methodology, ensuring the structural and aesthetic integrity of your chandelier or pendant light is never compromised.
Our protocol begins with Dry Fine Dust Extraction, utilizing HEPA-filtered vacuums and soft-bristled brushes to pull particulates out of decorative chains, downrods, and mounting hardware. Once the bulk volume is safely removed, we move into Housing & Hardware Washing, carefully damp-wiping the fixture to eliminate any remaining hazy film. This two-stage approach ensures that the dust is physically extracted from the property rather than simply being rearranged or smeared into the fixture’s complex geometry.
We conclude with Glass & Bulb Detailing, performing an in-place cleaning of accessible globes and light bulbs to restore maximum light transmission and clarity. This service is engineered specifically for the physical extraction of construction debris and does not involve the risky unmounting of fragile components or electrical work. Your time is far too valuable to spend your afternoon on a ladder wrestling with abrasive drywall residue. Start managing the chaos. Calculate your cost for free on our website and book your crew. We'll handle it from there.
Our Approach
- 1
Preparation and Floor Shielding
The team identifies the fixture and places heavy-duty protective drop cloths on the flooring below. This prevents construction dust from resettling on already-cleaned lower surfaces.
- 2
HEPA Vacuum Extraction
Before any liquid touches the fixture, we use a soft-brush HEPA vacuum attachment to remove the bulk of the drywall and sawdust. This prevents the formation of "muddy" streaks during the wet-wipe phase.
- 3
Adhesive and Film Removal
We carefully inspect the fixture for remaining manufacturer protective films or adhesive residue from installers. These are removed using specialized, surface-safe solvents that do not mar the finish.
- 4
Component Disassembly
If the fixture has removable globes, shades, or crystals, these are detached and passed to the second professional for individual detailing.
- 5
Microfiber Decontamination
We use high-density microfiber cloths and a pH-neutral cleaning solution to wipe down the canopy, downrods, and mounting hardware. This removes installer fingerprints and oils.
- 6
Glass and Metal Polishing
Each component is polished using an engineered, streak-free agent. For metal finishes (chrome, brass, matte black), we use material-specific polishers to enhance the luster.
- 7
Bulb and Socket Detailing
We wipe down the bulbs and the exterior of the sockets. Construction dust in sockets can be a fire hazard; we ensure the area is clear of debris.
- 8
Reassembly and Alignment
The components are reinstalled with precision. Our team ensures that shades are level and crystals are hung according to the manufacturer's design.
- 9
Final Light-Audit
We switch the fixture on and inspect it from multiple angles using high-intensity flashlights to ensure 100% clarity and zero dust-drift.
What's Included
- Dry Fine Dust Extraction: thorough dry extraction of ultra-fine construction dust (drywall and sanding residue) using a HEPA vacuum and soft brushes. This step is critical to prevent the dust from turning into a cement-like paste when exposed to moisture.
- Housing & Hardware Washing: detailed damp-wiping of the fixture housing, decorative chains, downrods, and mounting hardware to remove remaining construction film.
- Glass & Bulb Detailing: careful in-place cleaning of accessible glass globes and light bulbs to eliminate hazy construction film and restore maximum light transmission.
- (Technical Note): for safety and asset protection, we do not unmount fragile glass globes, chandeliers, or disconnect any wiring. This service focuses on construction dust extraction. The safe removal of hardened paint overspray or construction adhesive from delicate metal or glass surfaces is strictly limited to prevent permanent damage to the factory finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Standard cleaning focuses on domestic dust and spider webs. Construction cleaning requires the removal of silica dust, drywall splatter, and industrial adhesives, utilizing HEPA-extraction and specialized solvents.
Yes. Our team is trained to handle complex chandeliers. For oversized or extremely intricate pieces, the duration may exceed the standard 10 minutes, and we will adjust the quote accordingly during the walkthrough.
In most cases, yes. We use non-abrasive techniques and solvents that can lift paint spots from metal and glass without scratching the surface.
Our teams carry ladders that safely reach fixtures on 10 to 12-foot ceilings. For "great rooms" or foyers with higher ceilings, please notify us in advance so we can bring the appropriate extension equipment.
Absolutely. We use specific pH-neutral cleaners and ultra-soft microfibers to ensure that matte finishes do not develop "shiny spots" from improper rubbing.
We do not provide bulbs, but if you have them on-site, our team will happily install them while the fixture is being detailed at no additional charge.
Our HEPA-extraction process is designed to reach into the housing and sockets to remove the grit and debris often left behind by electrical contractors.
