Every bag of construction debris on Vashon leaves the island on a ferry, and that is a scheduling fact before it is a cost. We plan the haul-out around sailing times rather than around our own convenience, and the quote states how many trips the scope actually needs.

About Burton

Burton sits on the narrow neck of Vashon Island above Quartermaster Harbor, and everything about working here is shaped by the ferry. A crew arrives on a boat, works a block of hours, and leaves on a boat — there is no running back for a forgotten machine. Homes here are mostly older, many of them summer houses that were slowly converted to full-time living, which means original fixtures and surfaces that have taken decades of salt air.

What post-construction cleanup covers

Post-construction is the only cleaning job with a deadline somebody else set. The certificate of occupancy, the tenant walkthrough, the open house — the date is fixed before we are called, and the clean is the last thing standing between the building and the people waiting for it.

Heritage does the full sequence: rough clean once the trades are out, then the final detail that actually gets inspected. Drywall dust out of tracks and returns, adhesive and sticker residue off glass and fixtures, paint flecks off hardware, and a floor that has been gone over enough times that it stops producing dust.

Priced per square foot after a walkthrough, with a $450 project minimum. Terms are Net 15. We quote the scope we can actually finish before your date rather than the number that wins the job and misses it.

Ideal for

  • General contractors closing out a build
  • Tenant improvement and office build-outs

  • Renovations and unit remodels

Common questions

What is the minimum?

$450 per project. Below that the mobilisation costs more than the clean, and quoting under it would mean cutting the final detail — which is the part that gets inspected.

Do you do the rough clean and the final, or only one?

Either. Many contractors book both: a rough clean once the trades are out so the space can be worked in, then the final detail closer to the handover date. Booking both is usually cheaper than one heroic pass at the end.

Can you hit our certificate of occupancy date?

We will tell you honestly at the walkthrough. If the date does not leave room for the scope, we say so before you book rather than after. That is worth more to you than an optimistic yes.

Do you carry insurance for an active job site?

Yes. WA Contractor License HERITBS745D6 and $2,000,000 general liability aggregate through Farmers. We send the certificate to your GC or property manager before the first day on site.
