The honest answer is that it depends, but that is not very helpful when you are trying to budget. So let me give you real numbers, the things that move the price up or down, and a quick way to get an exact figure for your own home in Montreal.
What house cleaning actually costs in Montreal
Across the Montreal market in 2026, here is what people typically pay for residential cleaning. Treat these as ballpark ranges, not a quote, since every home is different.
- One time standard clean, condo or small home: roughly $120 to $250.
- One time standard clean, larger home: roughly $200 to $400 or more.
- Deep cleaning: usually about 1.5 to 2 times a standard clean, because it takes longer and covers more.
- Move in or move out cleaning: similar to a deep clean, sometimes higher if the place is empty and needs everything done.
- Recurring service, weekly or every two weeks: lower per visit than a one time clean, often starting around $120 to $150 for a smaller home.
- Post construction cleaning: priced per project, since the mess varies a lot.
For context, our maid service starts at $145 for a few hours with supplies included. The simplest way to know your number is to ask for a free, no obligation quote. We give you the exact price up front, with no surprises.
What changes the price
Two homes the same size can land at different prices. Here is what makes the difference.
Size and layout
More square footage, more bedrooms, and more bathrooms all add time. Bathrooms and kitchens are the slowest rooms to clean properly, so a home with three bathrooms costs more than one with a single bathroom, even at the same square footage.
How often you book
This is the big one. A recurring clean costs less per visit than a one time clean, because the home never gets a chance to build up grime. If you book recurring housekeeping every week or every two weeks, your per visit price drops and your home stays consistently clean.
Type of clean
A standard clean keeps an already tidy home fresh. A deep clean goes after built up dirt in places a regular clean skips, so it costs more. Not sure which you need? We broke it down in deep cleaning vs regular cleaning.
Condition of the home
If it has been a while, or you are dealing with a renovation, pets, or a move, the first visit takes longer. After that first reset, upkeep is cheaper.
Add ons
Things like inside the oven, inside the fridge, interior windows, laundry, or wall washing are usually extra. They are worth it for a spring clean, but you do not need them every visit.
One time versus recurring: the math
A lot of people book a one time clean, love it, and then ask why they waited. The reason recurring works out cheaper per visit is simple. The team is maintaining a clean home instead of rescuing a dirty one. If you want a predictable monthly budget and a home that is always ready for guests, a weekly or biweekly plan is almost always the better value.
What is included in a standard clean
For a typical residential visit, you can expect:
- Kitchen: counters, exterior of appliances, sink, stovetop, floors.
- Bathrooms: toilet, shower and tub, sink, mirrors, floors.
- Bedrooms and living areas: dusting, surfaces, vacuuming, floors.
- General: trash, baseboards and door frames as needed, tidying.
Deep cleans and move cleans add the slow detail work: inside cabinets, behind and under furniture where reachable, baseboards throughout, and heavy descaling in the bathrooms. See the full scope on our house and condo cleaning page.
Homes and businesses
If you run a business, the same factors apply but the schedule usually drives the price. Offices, clinics, restaurants, and retail spaces are typically billed on a recurring contract sized to the space and how often you need service. We handle both residential and commercial work across Montreal, so you can keep one trusted team for your home and your workplace.
