At Summit Building Services, Inc., we take immense pride in transforming construction zones into pristine, move-in-ready spaces. Our latest project with Harvey Construction was especially meaningful, as we were awarded the post-construction cleanup for the renovation of the old Johnson Controls Building—a building we maintained for six years until its previous occupants moved out in 2022.
This project involved a complete overhaul, including brand-new flooring, polished concrete, painted surfaces, and extensive glasswork. Our expert team ensured every surface, window, and floor was spotless, sanitized, and ready for its new occupants.
A Comprehensive Central-Maryland Post-Construction Cleanup
Post-construction cleaning is much more than just sweeping floors and wiping surfaces. Construction dust, debris, and residues require specialized techniques to ensure a thorough and safe cleaning process.
What Our Team Accomplished:
✅ Deep cleaning of all interior spaces
✅ Streak-free window cleaning for crystal-clear visibility
✅ Restroom sanitation and disinfection to meet health standards
✅ Specialized floor care for various surfaces, including ceramic tile, polished concrete, and luxury vinyl
✅ Final detailing to ensure a move-in-ready space
Every building presents unique challenges, and this project was no exception. One of the key areas where our expertise came into play was in properly cleaning and preparing the newly installed flooring.
Summit Building Services not only provides service in Linthicum, Maryland, but also in Baltimore, White Marsh, Abingdon, Columbia, Owings Mills, and Westminster.
Understanding the Importance of Flooring Care in Post-Construction Cleanup
Floors are one of the most crucial aspects of any commercial building, directly impacting aesthetics, durability, and functionality. This project involved several types of flooring, each requiring specialized cleaning techniques to protect its integrity and appearance.
✔️ Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) – Built for Durability in High-Traffic Areas
VCT is a staple in commercial buildings because of its cost-effectiveness and resilience. Found in offices, schools, hospitals, and retail spaces, this flooring type is designed to withstand heavy foot traffic while being relatively easy to maintain. However, without proper care, VCT can lose its sheen and become prone to wear and tear.
Our approach to VCT cleaning included:
Removing construction dust and adhesive residues
✨ Applying professional-grade finishes to protect the surface
Buffing and polishing to restore shine and durability
By ensuring VCT floors are cleaned and properly maintained from the start, we help extend their lifespan and keep them looking their best.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Flooring – Protecting Sensitive Environment
ESD flooring is critical in facilities that house sensitive electronic equipment, such as:
- Data centers
- Manufacturing plants
- Laboratories
This specialized flooring is designed to dissipate static electricity, preventing damage to electronics, circuits, and other high-tech components. However, ESD flooring requires careful cleaning to maintain its anti-static properties. Using the wrong cleaning methods or harsh chemicals can compromise its effectiveness.
Our team ensured that the ESD flooring was:
✅ Properly cleaned with non-damaging, pH-neutral solutions
✅ Free from dust and debris that could interfere with its conductivity
✅ Maintained for long-term performance and safety
✔️ Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) – The Perfect Blend of Style and Functionality
LVT has become increasingly popular in modern office and commercial spaces due to its:
✔️ Sleek, high-end appearance
✔️ Durability against heavy foot traffic
✔️ Easy maintenance and moisture resistance
Unlike traditional vinyl, LVT mimics natural materials like wood and stone, offering elegant aesthetics without the high maintenance costs. However, post-construction cleanup is essential to ensure the floor remains free from dust, adhesives, and scuff marks.
We took extra steps to:
Remove fine dust particles that could dull the finish
✨ Apply gentle cleaning solutions to enhance its shine
Avoid excess moisture that could cause warping or damage
By treating LVT with proper care from the start, we help ensure it remains a long-lasting and stylish flooring solution.
Windows, Restrooms & Final Touches – A Complete Transformation
In addition to floors, Summit’s team tackled every inch of the interior, ensuring:
✔️ Windows were spotless and streak-free for maximum natural light
✔️ Restrooms were fully sanitized to meet the highest cleanliness standards
✔️ Every surface was detailed and polished for a truly finished look
