Post-Construction / Renovation Cleaning

After a renovation, new build, or painting project, your home needs a thorough clean before it is liveable. Construction dust, debris, adhesives and paint residue require extra time and care.

Pricing structure

$45/hour per cleaner with a 4-hour minimum per visit (labour before HST).

Person-hours: billing is based on total labour time. Example: 2 cleaners × 4 hours = 8 labour hours.

Post-construction cleaning is always booked as a one-time visit. The Request form provides a planning estimate; actual scope and time are confirmed on-site before we start.

Ontario Consumer Protection Act — pricing transparency

Under Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act, 2002, if our cleaner arrives and discovers the actual scope exceeds the original booking estimate by more than 10%, we will stop, contact you by phone, explain the situation, and provide an updated time and cost estimate. Work only continues with your verbal or written approval. We do not change the price without your knowledge and consent.
