Paint Splatter, Stucco, and Sticker Residue on Brand-New Windows
New construction is brutal on glass. The painters left overspray on the glass. Stucco splatter dried on the window glass and won't scrape free. The manufacturer stickers baked on in the Florida sun, and the installers left silicone smears on every pane. A construction crew's final wipe-down doesn't touch any of it — and a regular maid service won't either, because construction debris on glass is a different job than dirt on glass.
We remove paint, sticker residue, stucco, and silicone from glass as part of every post-construction clean. No harsh abrasives — the goal is glass that looks like it just left the factory, not glass that got scraped clean and scratched in the process. If a trade already scratched the glass, or sprinklers etched it while the house sat through construction, we handle that too: our glass restoration process dissolves bonded minerals and polishes the glass clear, and it stops the moment clarity returns.
Final Clean Service for Builders and General Contractors
If you're a builder or GC, your problem isn't dirt. It's the schedule. The final clean sits between your last trade and the homeowner walkthrough, and if the cleaning crew slips, the closing slips. We build our schedule around your punch list, not the other way around, with room built in for trades that run behind.
The paperwork is ready before you ask. Fresh Frames carries $1M in general liability plus workers' comp and commercial auto, and we provide a COI on request — so your site super isn't chasing certificates the week of closing. We're a Florida LLC with 7,000+ completed jobs behind us, and commercial work gets scheduled around your hours, including occupied plazas and active sites. That's the difference between a cleaning company and a final clean subcontractor you can put on the schedule and forget about.
“Matt was awesome! He was very thorough and was able to get all the extra construction debris off our new windows and doors. Would highly recommend them to everyone.”
What's Included in the Full Package
Post-construction cleanup from Fresh Frames is the whole job, not just the windows. One crew, one visit, one invoice: paint, stickers, stucco, and silicone off the glass. Windows cleaned inside and outside. Floors and tile cleaned. Every surface wiped down for construction dust. Debris hauled out. The house goes from job site to move-in ready without you coordinating three different vendors.
A single-crew model matters more on a build than anywhere else. When the window cleaner, the floor crew, and the dust crew are three companies, each one blames the other for what got missed — and the punch list grows. When it's one crew, there's one standard and one company responsible for hitting it.
Why Drywall Dust Keeps Coming Back After Cleaning
It's a common frustration after a build: the house gets cleaned at closing, and weeks later everything is dusty again. That's not a bad clean — it's physics. Drywall and concrete dust hangs in the air and inside ductwork long after the sanding stops, then settles slowly onto every surface. Clean too early, while trades are still cutting and sanding, and the dust just re-lands.
That's why timing beats effort on these jobs. We schedule the detail clean after the dust-producing work is actually done, and we wipe down the surfaces where settled dust shows most — sills, tracks, tile, and flat trim. If your new house is still dusty weeks after construction, it usually needs one properly-timed full wipe-down, not another quick once-over.
Move-In Ready Cleaning After a New Build or Remodel
You don't have to be a builder to need this. If you just closed on new construction, or a kitchen or bathroom remodel left dust on everything you own, the same full package applies — and you don't need to be home for it. We work while you're at work, and Tampa's conditions make the timing worth getting right: afternoon storms turn site dust into grime, pollen season coats fresh glass fast, and sprinklers hitting brand-new windows start etching minerals into them from day one.
After the final clean, most new homeowners put the exterior on a maintenance schedule — recurring window cleaning keeps sprinkler spots and salt haze from ever bonding to that new glass. It's far easier to keep new windows perfect than to restore them later.

Frequently asked questions
Who does punch-list cleaning for builders in Tampa?+
Fresh Frames does — our Tampa crew handles final builder cleans timed to your punch list, from New Port Richey down to Venice. We carry $1M general liability, workers' comp, and commercial auto with a COI provided on request, and we schedule around your trades. The estimate is free — send us the punch list and a closing date to get on the calendar.
Can you get paint and stucco off new windows without scratching the glass?+
Yes. Removing paint splatter, dried stucco, sticker residue, and silicone from glass is a standard part of our post-construction package, and we never use harsh abrasives to do it. If the glass was already scratched or etched during construction, our glass restoration process polishes it clear — working only as far as the glass actually needs.
Do you provide a COI for general contractors and property managers?+
Yes, on request. Fresh Frames carries $1M in general liability insurance plus workers' comp and commercial auto coverage, so we clear vendor requirements for builders, GCs, condo associations, and property managers before the crew arrives.
Why is my new house still dusty weeks after construction?+
Because drywall and concrete dust keeps settling out of the air and ductwork long after the trades leave — a clean done too early just gets re-coated. The fix is one full detail clean timed after all dust-producing work is finished: every surface wiped down, floors and tile cleaned, windows done inside and out.
Do you clean sticker residue and silicone smears off brand-new windows?+
Yes. Manufacturer stickers, installer glue, and silicone smears come off the glass as part of every post-construction clean, along with the full window cleaning inside and outside. It's included in the package, not an add-on you have to negotiate.
Do I need to be home for the final clean after my remodel?+
No. Homeowners don't need to be home — we handle the full clean while you're at work, and commercial jobs are scheduled around business hours. Every job is backed by our Spotless Promise: if anything isn't perfect, we re-clean it free within 72 hours.
