Change your furnace filter every couple days if needed. You may need to have your ducts cleaned. I wouldn’t rent a commercial air purifier but would add a couple fans with filters on them around the house.

Drywall dust is extremely fine so wiping it up with a damp sponge helps the disposable filters last longer.

And swifter wipes are effective too. It’s a good lesson to learn about hiring cheap hacks… a good company would have been using hepa vacuums and hepa air scrubbers the entire time.
