📖 The Hustle
Clean up dust and debris after home renovations, painting, or flooring work. Contractors often leave a mess, and homeowners are overwhelmed. Charge $30-50 per hour. This is dusty work — you need a good mask, shop vac, and microfiber cloths. One post-renovation cleanup pays $200-400 per job. Network with local contractors who can send you steady referrals.
🚀 First Step
Buy a shop vac and N95 masks, then create a TaskRabbit profile for post-construction cleaning and message three local contractors on Nextdoor introducing your service.
🔑 Keys to Success
- A shop vac is your most important tool — do not try to do this job without one
- Wear a good mask — construction dust is no joke for your lungs
- Ask the contractor what materials were used so you clean each surface correctly
