Household services in Canada, what they cost

Updated 4 November 2026

A regular house cleaning in Canada usually costs CA$100–CA$250 per visit, and a deep clean CA$200–CA$450 or more, approximately, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. Other household jobs, from rubbish removal to furniture assembly, depend more on the size of the job, so the quickest way to get current prices is to describe yours in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rates in Calgary and across the country

Hourly rates for a professional, insured house cleaner run from about CA$25 in the Prairies to more than CA$50 in Toronto. In Calgary a small apartment or studio is quoted at CA$100–CA$200, a home with two or three bedrooms at CA$200–CA$400, and a four-bedroom house at CA$400–CA$800 or more. Ask whether the quote includes supplies before you compare prices.

Winter and the holidays

Winter runs from December to February here, so November is the month to book a deep clean before the holidays. Outdoor jobs such as gardening and grounds work slow down once the ground is under snow, so book them for autumn or spring.

Licences and business permits

Licensing is not the same everywhere. Requirements vary by province and territory, and some municipalities add their own business licence, so a company working in Vancouver may need different paperwork from one in Ottawa. Ask the seller which permits they hold for your city and whether they are insured before you let them into your home.

What to write in your request

Name the service, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms or the number of items, the city and district, the date you need it and your budget. Say whether you want a one-time job or a regular visit, because the prices differ. Sellers in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa can then reply with their own price.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the job once, in your own words, in a chat, and you can add a photo. It is free for buyers. The AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Canada, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price, terms and delivery. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them.
