Post-renovation cleaning in Canada: prices and what to ask

Updated 30 October 2026

A post-renovation clean in Canada typically costs CA$300 to CA$1,000 for a residential job, and hourly crews charge about CA$40 to CA$60 per cleaner in Metro Vancouver. The final figure depends on floor area, dust and waste removal, so give the square footage in your request and get a current quote through BlaBlaPrice.

Local rules and what to check

In Quebec, a Montreal provider's listing says CNESST safety compliance is required, so ask the company to confirm its crews work under those rules before the job starts. Ask also whether it can provide documentation for permits, as that same provider does. Request a written scope that lists the rooms, the waste removal and any extras, so that the final invoice matches the quote.

Season and timing

Winter, from December to February, keeps windows shut, so a final clean is easier to schedule in autumn or spring, when rooms can be aired. In Montreal, one listing says the work takes one to five days or more depending on scope, so plan a date with spare time. October is a good time to book, before the cold months set in.

How the price is quoted here

Quotes come as an hourly rate per cleaner, a rate per square foot or a fixed package. Canadian listings measure floor area in square feet, so give your figure in square feet. Ask whether windows, appliances and carpets are included, since they are often extras: one North Vancouver listing gives CA$35 for an oven and CA$45 for a fridge, and carpet extraction from CA$50 a room.

What to write in the request

Give the floor area in square feet and the number of rooms, the type of property (house, condo or office), and how dirty the site is after the works. List the windows, waste removal and any extras you need. Add the address or area, the date you want the clean, and your budget.

A request on BlaBlaPrice is free. Describe the renovation in your own words, and the AI asks for missing details, looks through local cleaning price lists and sellers' websites, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their price, terms and dates, and your contact details stay hidden until you decide to share them.
