Questions
How much does office cleaning cost in Vancouver?
For the jobs in the table, $153 to $1,677 before GST in 2026. The exact figure depends on your answers on the card above; you see it before you book, and it doesn’t change on the day unless you change the job.
Is GST included?
Prices are before GST (5%). Pay by bank transfer after the work, or by card at 3% more. Nothing is charged until the job is done and signed off.
Do the same people come each time?
That’s the aim and the norm for a recurring contract; we say who before the first visit and we tell you if it changes.
What about keys and alarm codes?
Handed over the way you say in the notes, logged, and returned when a contract ends. Your pro has a WorkSafeBC clearance and insurance naming you on request.
Can I get a certificate of insurance?
Yes, naming your building as additional insured. Ask in the notes.
