Cleaning services in Old Oakville, Oakville: from $89
House cleaning, deep cleaning, a maid service on a schedule and move-in and move-out cleans in the old town between Sixteen Mile Creek and Chartwell Road, at the same published prices as the rest of Oakville; here the age of the house sets the pace of the visit, never the price.
Which homes does Heron clean in Old Oakville?
The oldest housing in the town, and the widest range: century homes and 1920s to 1950s houses on the tree-lined streets north of Lakeshore Road East, larger homes and lakefront estates on the streets that run down to the water, and townhouses and condo buildings added around the downtown core and along Cornwall Road in the last twenty years. Old Oakville is south-central Oakville on the lake: between Sixteen Mile Creek and the harbour to the west and Chartwell Road to the east, from the water up to the QEW, with the downtown core along Lakeshore Road East south of Cornwall Road. Every one of those homes is priced from the same rate card: the Basic clean by bedrooms, then each bathroom, the kitchen and any basement as its own line.
Many of the older homes have been renovated more than once, so two houses on one street can have very different kitchens and bathrooms.
The team already drives to the streets between Lakeshore Road East and Cornwall Road, the lakefront streets east of the harbour toward Chartwell Road, the townhouses off Cornwall Road and Trafalgar Road near the GO station, and the condos around the downtown core. The number of bathrooms and the above-ground floor area set the price, and in Old Oakville the age of the house sets the pace: original trim, stairs and plaster take the Deep upgrade well but never change the Basic price.
How much does house cleaning cost in Old Oakville? From $89
The rate card is the same for a century house as for a new build: $89 for the Basic clean of a condo or one-bedroom, from $149 for a 3-bedroom, then each full bathroom +$20, the powder room +$12, the kitchen +$25 and a finished basement from $45, all before HST with supplies included. On this page a three-bedroom 1920s house, 1,900 sq ft, with a powder room, two bathrooms and the kitchen is $241, a two-bedroom condo near the downtown core, 1,000 sq ft, with two bathrooms and the kitchen is $170 and a four-bedroom home south of Lakeshore, 3,400 sq ft, with a powder room, three bathrooms and the kitchen is $332.
| Home | One-time | Weekly | Bi-weekly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A three-bedroom 1920s house, 1,900 sq ft, with a powder room, two bathrooms and the kitchen | $241 | $192.80 | $192.80 | $216.90 |
| A two-bedroom condo near the downtown core, 1,000 sq ft, with two bathrooms and the kitchen | $170 | $136.00 | $136.00 | $153.00 |
| A four-bedroom home south of Lakeshore, 3,400 sq ft, with a powder room, three bathrooms and the kitchen | $332 | $265.60 | $265.60 | $298.80 |
Each example opens in the calculator with its rooms filled in: the 1,900 sq ft three-bedroom, the two-bedroom downtown condo, the 3,400 sq ft home south of Lakeshore. Older homes are priced exactly like new ones, by bedrooms and rooms, so a century house with one bathroom costs less than a new build with three. What changes the time is the detail (stairs, trim, radiators), and that is what the Deep upgrade is for; the Basic price does not move for the age of the house. The add-on list is on the pricing page.
Can I book a maid service on a schedule in Old Oakville?
Yes. Old Oakville households tend to book bi-weekly with the bathrooms and the kitchen always in, and a Deep upgrade once in spring for the trim and the sills. The 1,900 sq ft three-bedroom is $241 one-time and $192.80 a visit bi-weekly, before HST, 20% off every visit after the first on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule and 10% off monthly; no contract.
In older homes the value of a schedule is that the same two people learn the house: which floors are original and cannot take a wet mop, which windows stick, where the dog sleeps. Most Old Oakville households on a schedule choose bi-weekly, with the bathrooms and the kitchen always in; weekly suits a busy family home, monthly a couple who keep on top of the day-to-day. The discount applies to the whole clean, and any visit can move with a day's notice. How the team and the first visit work: maid service in Oakville; the three schedules compared on three homes: weekly and bi-weekly plans in Oakville.
What does a deep clean cost for an Old Oakville home?
The 1,900 sq ft three-bedroom is $330 as a Deep clean, before HST. The Deep upgrade is the detail work on top of the Basic clean, priced by home size from +$59 to +$239: baseboards, doors and frames, switches, sills and tracks, fixtures, edges and buildup, and any bathroom or kitchen you add done in full. On these streets the upgrade goes to the stair spindles, panelled doors, deep sills and picture rails that a Basic clean dusts but does not wash.
| Line | Price |
|---|---|
| Basic Cleaning | $149 |
| Home size adjustment | $15 |
| Deep Cleaning upgrade | $89 |
| Full bathrooms (2 × $20) | $40 |
| Powder room / half bath | $12 |
| Kitchen | $25 |
| Total before HST | $330 |
On a century street the Deep upgrade earns its price on the trim: stair spindles, panelled doors, deep window sills, picture rails and the ledges of old cabinetry, all of which a Basic clean dusts but does not wash. Radiators are wiped where the fins allow. We do not use wet methods on unsealed wood or on plaster with hairline cracks; tell us what is original and the team works around it. Oven and fridge interiors are their own lines from +$19 each. Everything the upgrade covers, with prices by size: deep cleaning in Oakville.
Do you do move-in and move-out cleaning in Old Oakville?
Yes. Homes here often change hands after a long ownership, so the move-out clean is frequently the first deep clean in years; allow the full day. As a move-out clean the 1,900 sq ft three-bedroom is $360, before HST: the Deep level of detail with the rooms empty, closets and shelving inside, door frames and tops, the marks furniture used to hide, priced by size from +$79 to +$279.
| Line | Price |
|---|---|
| Basic Cleaning | $149 |
| Home size adjustment | $15 |
| Move-In / Move-Out upgrade | $119 |
| Full bathrooms (2 × $20) | $40 |
| Powder room / half bath | $12 |
| Kitchen | $25 |
| Total before HST | $360 |
Sales here often close on a home that has been in one family for decades, so the move-out clean is also the first deep clean in years: book it for the day after the last belongings leave and allow the full day. For a move-in, the day after the keys, before the furniture. Oven, fridge and cabinet interiors are optional lines; the room-by-room move-out checklist and the Oakville move-out page cover what a buyer or a landlord will look at.
Do you clean offices and shops in Old Oakville?
Yes, on the commercial side: in Old Oakville that is the shops, restaurants and professional offices along Lakeshore Road East, the clinics and offices on Cornwall Road and around the Oakville GO station, and the condo common areas near the downtown core. A small office under 2,000 sq ft cleaned two or three times a week starts at $105 a visit ($175 at 2,000–5,000 sq ft), each washroom, the kitchenette and mopping added as lines, before HST; a dental or medical suite, a daycare, a gym, a shop, a restaurant front-of-house and condo common areas each have their own base.
The shops and offices here are mostly street-front units with a washroom and a back room, which price as a small office or a retail unit at two or three visits a week; a restaurant front-of-house has its own base and lines. Four or more visits a week is a nightly contract at $32 a cleaner-hour with a 3-hour minimum. Build the premises on the commercial calculator and the number at one to three visits a week is your quote, confirmed in writing after a walkthrough. The rest of the city: commercial cleaning in Oakville.
Where in Old Oakville does the team go, and what should I tell you?
Everywhere in Old Oakville, at the same price at every address: the streets between Lakeshore Road East and Cornwall Road, the lakefront streets east of the harbour toward Chartwell Road, the townhouses off Cornwall Road and Trafalgar Road near the GO station, and the condos around the downtown core. Most homes have a driveway or a lane; on the streets closest to Lakeshore Road East parking can be permit-only, so tell us where the team can stop for the visit.
Older homes often have narrow stairs and a basement that is not part of the living space; say whether the basement is finished. If you have original hardwood, marble or unsealed stone, tell us and we clean those surfaces with a damp method and the products they can take.
Beyond Old Oakville: every cleaning service in Oakville, and the same prices in Burlington, Milton and Mississauga.
How do you clean original hardwood, marble and plaster?
Gently, and only after you have told us where they are. Original hardwood is cleaned with a damp method rather than a wet mop, unsealed stone and marble with a neutral product rather than anything acidic, and plaster walls and ceilings are dusted rather than washed. None of it changes the price; it changes the products and cloths the team brings.
Two things help on a first visit in an older home. First, a walk through the rooms with the team: which floors are original, which surfaces are sealed, whether a radiator cover lifts off. Second, leaving out your own product where a manufacturer or a restorer has told you to use it; the team uses it at the same price. Wax finishes, oiled floors and antique furniture are dusted and left alone unless you ask otherwise, and anything you would rather nobody touched is simply named at the start.
Old Oakville cleaning questions
Will the agreed cleaning price increase on arrival?
Choose your rooms and tasks at published prices. We confirm the details and availability by phone. We do not increase the agreed cleaning price on arrival. Extra rooms or tasks are added only if you choose them and agree the price before the work starts.
Does an older Old Oakville home cost more to clean than a new one?
No. The Basic price is set by bedrooms and the size adjustment by above-ground floor area, so a three-bedroom century house of 1,900 sq ft is $241 with a powder room, two bathrooms and the kitchen, the same as a new build of that size and layout. Where age shows is in the Deep upgrade, which is the visit that washes the trim, the sills and the stair spindles, and it is priced by size like everything else.
Can you clean around antiques and things that should not be touched?
Yes. Name them at the start of the first visit and the team dusts around them or leaves them entirely alone, whichever you prefer, and the same two people remember on the next visit. Wax and oil finishes are dusted, never washed.
Where does the team park near Lakeshore Road East?
In your driveway or lane where there is one. On the permit-only streets closest to Lakeshore, tell us when you book where the team can stop for the visit; we do not charge for parking in Old Oakville, and the cleaners bring everything in from the car in one trip.
Will the same people clean my home in Old Oakville each time?
Whenever we can, yes. A two-person team that has done the house before knows which floors take a damp mop and which do not, where the sticking door is and how the pets react, so the visit goes faster and better. If one of them is away we tell you in advance. Every cleaner is background-checked before a first visit, and anything missed is put right within 24 hours at no charge.
