New Construction Window Cleaning in Santa Fe, NM

New construction generates an enormous amount of fine particulate — drywall dust, stucco overspray, mortar splatter, sawdust, and general site debris — and a lot of it settles directly onto window glass during the build. Builders typically do a basic wipe-down before handoff, but that's rarely the same as a professional cleaning, which is why new homeowners across Santa Fe's south side and the county's newer developments still see haze on their glass after move-in.

What's Included

• Removal of construction dust and stucco overspray from exterior glass
• Interior glass cleaning to remove drywall dust film
• Window frame and sill wipe-down
• Screen cleaning — screens often carry fine construction dust too
• Door track cleaning — tracks collect debris during the build

Best For

New-build homeowners in Rancho Viejo, the Community College District, Tierra Contenta, and the newer developments around Santa Fe and Eldorado — and anyone moving into a home where the builder's final wipe-down left glass looking hazy rather than clean.

High-Desert Climate

The longer construction residue sits on glass before a real cleaning, the more it bonds — and Santa Fe's high-altitude sun bakes it on faster than it would at lower elevation. Stucco and mortar splatter in particular keeps curing where it lands and will etch if it's left. A post-construction cleaning is easiest and most effective done before you've settled all the way in, not months later.

Common Questions

Isn't the builder's final wipe-down enough?

Usually not. Builder wipe-downs are quick and cosmetic — they rarely remove the drywall dust film and stucco overspray that settle into the glass during construction. Most new homeowners still notice haze after move-in.

Can you remove stucco and mortar splatter without scratching the glass?

Yes — done correctly, with the glass kept wet and the right blade angle and sequence, it comes off cleanly. Done incorrectly it scratches permanently, which is the main reason this is worth leaving to a professional.

How soon after move-in should I schedule this?

Sooner is easier. Construction residue is simplest to remove while it's still fresh — the longer it sits, especially under Santa Fe's high-altitude sun, the more it bonds to the glass.
