Builders and general contractors
Clean enough to close on.
Post-construction cleaning, site and lot cleanup, and third-party QI inspection — scheduled to your closing dates by people who have run the jobs, not just cleaned them.
In short
Specus Services provides post-construction rough, final, and touch-up cleaning, window and glass cleaning, site and lot cleanup, third-party QI inspection, spec and model home upkeep, and warranty-period cleaning for builders and general contractors across Brunswick and New Hanover counties.
Post-construction cleaning, in three scoped phases
Bid as one flat "post-construction clean," it usually costs somebody a second trip. We price the phases separately and tie them to your milestones.
Rough clean
After trim, before paint touch-up. Debris and material removal, sweep and vacuum, label and sticker removal, cabinet and closet interiors cleared so the next trades are not working around a mess.
Final clean
Everything a buyer will open, touch, or look through. Cabinets and drawers inside and out, appliances inside and out, fixtures polished, tile and grout, paint and mud off glass and hardware, vents, switch plates, baseboards, and floors finished last.
Touch-up before walkthrough
The pass after the last trade has been back through and before the buyer arrives. Fingerprints, scuffs, resettled dust.
Window and glass
Interior and exterior glass, tracks and sills, screens, and construction film and adhesive, removed without scratching coated glass. The details that keep a walkthrough short.
Site and lot cleanup
We rake the lot, pick the button caps and cut-offs out of the grass and the beds, clear the trade debris, and put it in the dumpster. The street and the neighboring lots get walked too — a tidy community is what the sales agent is selling.
No chasing trades. No running every piece of trash through the CM to figure out whose it was. It gets picked up.
Third-party QI inspection
A quality inspection near the end of construction, before closing, that tells you what to send your trades back for. Produced by a licensed general contractor with twenty-five years of field experience, and delivered as a documented list with photos.
We do not bid what we find. The list exists so you can hold your subs to their contracts.
What gets inspected
Interior and exterior finishes, doors and hardware, windows and glazing, trim and drywall, paint, flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, grading and drainage at the structure, and the exterior envelope from the ground.
What you get
A photo-documented list organized by room and by responsible trade, in a format your superintendent can hand straight to the subs.
Why it pairs with the cleaning
We are already in the house at final clean. Inspecting while we are there costs you one visit instead of two, and it happens at exactly the moment the house is clean enough to see clearly.
Spec homes, models, and warranty
Spec and model upkeep
Scheduled cleaning on models and unsold inventory so a house that has been sitting ninety days still shows like it was finished last week.
Warranty-period cleaning
Cleaning after warranty repairs, so your correction does not leave a second complaint behind it.
Why builders keep us on the schedule
We schedule to your closing dates
A clean that lands two days late is a clean you cannot use.
We know what fails a QI inspection
Twenty-five years of construction, production work included. We clean to that standard.
Volume-friendly across a community
Priced per house and scheduled across a phase.
Licensed and insured
NC General Contractor License #103919. Certificates on file before the first house.
Send us the community and the schedule.
Send the community, the number of homes, and your closing dates. We follow up, walk a house, and put a price on it. Integrity is mostly small things done the same way every time.
