Dry Wall/Ceiling Care (Per room)
After a major renovation, your newly painted walls and ceilings might look finished, but they are covertly covered in a magnetic layer of ultra-fine drywall dust. This microscopic particulate clings to vertical surfaces and overhead planes through static electricity, creating an invisible ceiling-to-floor blanket of debris. If left unaddressed, this dust doesn't just stay put; it constantly rains down into your living space, compromising your indoor air quality and settling onto your furniture long after the contractors have left. Attempting to move into a space without a professional drywall dust removal strategy means you will be breathing in construction residue for months.
The biggest mistake property owners and amateur cleaners make is introducing moisture to newly finished surfaces. Wiping down fresh paint with a damp cloth instantly turns abrasive grit and gypsum powder into a reactive plaster paste. This "muddying" effect permanently stains the paint, ruins the finish, and often forces costly repainting. You need a highly controlled post-construction wall cleaning process that strictly relies on zero water exposure, safely lifting the particulate without chemically altering the new architectural finishes.
Our protocol executes a Comprehensive Ceiling & Wall Sweep, systematically dry-wiping every square inch of the room's perimeter from the absolute highest point down to the floor. We perform targeted Corner & Joint Detailing, utilizing specialized vacuums to extract trapped particulate from cold corners and structural seams where dust naturally accumulates. We never ignore the high-end finishes; our Architectural Detailing ensures that crown molding, door headers, and HVAC vent covers are meticulously dry-dusted to remove the heavy buildup that standard cleaning bypasses.
The final stage of this technical reset involves meticulous Spot Dry-Cleaning, carefully erasing light construction scuffs using non-abrasive dry sponges to preserve the wall's integrity. As the overhead dust inevitably falls during the process, we conclude with a strict Perimeter Extraction, utilizing S-Class HEPA Extraction along the baseboards to capture the newly settled debris before it can circulate. Your time is far too valuable to spend your afternoon fighting persistent construction dust and risking damage to your fresh paint. Start managing the chaos.

Our Approach
- 1
Surface Assessment
The team of two inspects the paint type and ceiling texture (e.g., flat, eggshell, or popcorn) to ensure the dry-cleaning method is perfectly calibrated for the surface.
- 2
Perimeter Preparation
We move furniture carefully away from walls and use protective pads and drop cloths to ensure that any dislodged dust is captured on our terms, not your flooring.
- 3
Clockwise Entry
Starting at the entrance of the room, we move clockwise. This ensures that every square foot of vertical and horizontal space is accounted for.
- 4
Ceiling Neutralization
Using specialized high-reach dry mops with electrostatically charged microfibers, we clear the ceiling. This captures cobwebs and fine dust before it can fall onto lower surfaces.
- 5
Corner and Joint Extraction
We utilize soft-bristle HEPA vacuum attachments to extract dust from the "cold corners" where walls meet the ceiling, areas where air circulation is lowest and dust accumulation is highest.
- 6
Top-Down Wall Sweep
We transition to the walls, working from the top-down. This follows the natural path of gravity, ensuring that as we move lower, we are always cleaning a fresh surface.
- 7
Spot De-Dusting
We perform localized dry-spotting to remove pencil marks or light scuffs typical of post-construction or moving activity, using non-abrasive dry sponges.
- 8
Fixture Integration
We clear dust from the tops of door frames, window casings, and crown molding as we pass them in our clockwise rotation.
- 9
Final Light Audit
The team lead uses high-intensity lighting at an angle to the wall surface. This "raking light" reveals any remaining dust trails or missed spots that are invisible under standard overhead lighting.
- 10
Cleanup and Documentation
We perform a final HEPA vacuum of the floor perimeter to capture any fallen particulates and capture photo evidence of the cleared surfaces.
What's Included
- Comprehensive Ceiling & Wall Sweep: systematic dry wiping of the entire ceiling surface and all vertical walls around the room perimeter, moving strictly top-to-bottom to capture settled drywall dust.
- Corner & Joint Detailing: targeted vacuuming of cold corners and ceiling-to-wall joints to extract fine particulate.
- Architectural Detailing: dry dusting of crown molding, door headers, and HVAC vent covers.
- Spot Dry-Cleaning: careful removal of light construction marks using non-abrasive dry sponges with zero water exposure.
- Perimeter Extraction: final HEPA-vacuuming of the floor perimeter to capture any dust that settled during the overhead cleaning process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most modern homes use "flat" or "matte" paint. These finishes are porous and can be easily damaged by moisture and friction. Wet cleaning often leaves permanent shiny spots (burnishing) or streaks. Our dry-cleaning method removes the dust without compromising the finish.
Yes, but with extreme care. We use specialized soft-bristle attachments and HEPA vacuuming to remove dust and cobwebs without knocking down the delicate texture of the popcorn finish.
Our team will carefully move lightweight furniture away from the walls to ensure total access. We use protective pads to ensure your floors are never scratched during this process.
No. Dry Wall/Ceiling Care is a specialized technical service requiring extra time and equipment. It is typically added to Deep Cleans, Move-In/Out services, or Post-Construction projects.
This service is primarily for dust, cobwebs, and light dry marks. For heavy stains, grease, or ink, the wall may require professional painting or a different technical approach, as wet cleaning risks damaging the paint.
No. We utilize a strict dry-extraction protocol using industrial HEPA-vacuums and microfiber friction tools. Wet-washing raw or recently painted drywall can cause permanent streaks, "mudding" of the silica dust, or damage to the paint finish.
Yes. For safety and liability reasons, our technicians only service walls and ceilings up to 10 feet from the floor using standard ladders and extension poles. Vaulted ceilings or high-loft walls exceeding this limit are strictly excluded.
No. Our protocol is limited to the mechanical extraction of airborne particulates and dust. Removing pencil marks, ink, or patching drywall are construction maintenance tasks that must be handled by a contractor.
