Cleaning services in Palmer, Burlington: from $89
House cleaning, deep cleaning, a maid service on a schedule and move-in and move-out cleans on the 1970s split-level streets between Guelph Line and Walker's Line south of Upper Middle Road, at the same published prices as the rest of Burlington; here two kitchens in one house is a question we hear often.
Which homes does Heron clean in Palmer?
Palmer is the split-level neighbourhood: four-level side-splits and four- and five-level back-splits from the 1970s and early 80s, with traditional and raised bungalows and Tudor and Colonial Revival two-storeys among them, on the streets that wind off Palmer Drive. Palmer is central Burlington between Guelph Line and Walker's Line, from Upper Middle Road south toward Mainway, with Palmer Drive winding through the middle, Headon Forest to the north and Tansley Woods to the east. 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.
The split plans suit two generations under one roof, and a good many Palmer homes have a second kitchen on the lower level and a parent or an adult child living there; that is the question a quote here turns on.
The team already drives to the streets winding off Palmer Drive, the crescents between Palmer Drive and Upper Middle Road, the bungalow streets near Guelph Line, and the two-storeys toward Walker's Line and Mainway. A Palmer quote is a four-bedroom Basic clean with a size line, two bathrooms and the kitchen, and the question that changes it is whether there is a second kitchen and a second household on the lower level.
How much does house cleaning cost in Palmer? From $89
A quote in Palmer is built from the rate card's lines: the Basic clean by bedrooms ($89 for a condo or one-bedroom, from $149 for a 3-bedroom), a size adjustment above 1,500 sq ft, each full bathroom +$20, the powder room +$12, the kitchen +$25 and a finished basement from $45, before HST with supplies included. That makes a four-bedroom side-split, 2,000 sq ft, with two bathrooms and the kitchen $250, a three-bedroom raised bungalow, 1,400 sq ft, with two bathrooms and the kitchen $214 and a three-bedroom five-level back-split, 1,600 sq ft, with a powder room, one bathroom, the kitchen and a cat $246.
| Home | One-time | Weekly | Bi-weekly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A four-bedroom side-split, 2,000 sq ft, with two bathrooms and the kitchen | $250 | $200.00 | $200.00 | $225.00 |
| A three-bedroom raised bungalow, 1,400 sq ft, with two bathrooms and the kitchen | $214 | $171.20 | $171.20 | $192.60 |
| A three-bedroom five-level back-split, 1,600 sq ft, with a powder room, one bathroom, the kitchen and a cat | $246 | $196.80 | $196.80 | $221.40 |
Each example opens in the calculator with its rooms filled in: the 2,000 sq ft side-split, the 1,400 sq ft raised bungalow, the back-split with the cat. A 1970s split or two-storey is a modest quote by today's standards: three or four bedrooms, one or two full bathrooms and a powder room, a kitchen, and a size line only if the above-ground floors pass 1,500 sq ft, which many of these plans do by a little. The finished basement, where there is one, is added by size. Every add-on is on the pricing page.
Can I book a maid service on a schedule in Palmer?
Yes. Multi-generational Palmer homes usually book weekly or bi-weekly with both kitchens in; single-household splits bi-weekly or monthly. The 2,000 sq ft side-split is $250 one-time and $200.00 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.
Palmer schedules run bi-weekly or monthly, and the choice usually follows the household: bi-weekly (20% off from the second visit) where a family is still at home, monthly (10% off) where the house has emptied out and keeps up between visits. The same two people come back, learn the levels and the landings, and a visit moves with a day's notice. The first visit: maid service in Burlington; the schedules compared: weekly and bi-weekly plans in Burlington.
What does a deep clean cost for a Palmer home?
The 2,000 sq ft side-split is $359 as a Deep clean, before HST: the Basic clean plus the detail upgrade, priced by home size from +$59 to +$239, which covers the baseboards, doors and frames, switches, sills and tracks, fixtures, edges and buildup, and every bathroom and kitchen you add done in detail. On a five-level split the Deep upgrade is stair edges and landing baseboards above all, then the tracks of the original sliders, the vents and the light fixtures on every level.
| Line | Price |
|---|---|
| Basic Cleaning | $165 |
| Home size adjustment | $20 |
| Deep Cleaning upgrade | $109 |
| Full bathrooms (2 × $20) | $40 |
| Kitchen | $25 |
| Total before HST | $359 |
Half a century of living leaves its marks in the places a Basic clean does not reach, and that is the Deep upgrade's list in a 1970s home: the baseboards and the quarter-round, the stair edges on every half-flight, the tracks of the original sliders, the register covers, the light fixtures and the grout of a bathroom renovated once. It is priced by floor area and is the right first visit for a home that has not been professionally cleaned in years. Oven and fridge interiors are their own lines from +$19 each. The full scope: deep cleaning in Burlington.
Do you do move-in and move-out cleaning in Palmer?
Yes. When a Palmer split sells, it is often the end of a two-generation household, and the move-out clean covers both kitchens and every level with the rooms clear. The 2,000 sq ft side-split is $389 as a move-out clean, before HST: the Deep level of detail on an empty home, 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 | $165 |
| Home size adjustment | $20 |
| Move-In / Move-Out upgrade | $139 |
| Full bathrooms (2 × $20) | $40 |
| Kitchen | $25 |
| Total before HST | $389 |
Sales here are often the end of a long ownership, and the move-out clean is the first professional clean the house has had: the Deep level of detail with the rooms empty, closets and built-ins inside, door tops and frames, the edges the furniture stood over. Allow the full day and book it for the day after the last belongings leave; for a move-in, the day after the keys. Oven, fridge and cabinet interiors are optional lines. The move-out checklist is the buyer's list; the Burlington move-out page has the inclusions.
Do you clean offices and shops in Palmer?
Yes: in Palmer that means the plazas at Guelph Line and Upper Middle Road and along Walker's Line, the clinics and offices on Mainway, and the businesses near the Palmer Drive and Walker's Line corner. Commercial cleaning starts at $105 a visit for an office under 2,000 sq ft at two or three visits a week ($175 at 2,000–5,000 sq ft), each washroom, the kitchenette and mopping as its own line, before HST; dental and medical offices, daycares, gyms, shops, restaurant front-of-house and condo common areas each have their own base and lines.
The plazas at the corners of a 1970s neighbourhood hold its workplaces: convenience retail, a clinic or dental suite, a small office, sometimes a daycare. Each prices on its own base with washrooms, kitchenette and floors as lines; one to three visits a week is a fixed quote from the commercial calculator with a code, confirmed at a walkthrough, and four or more a nightly contract at $32 a cleaner-hour with a 3-hour minimum. The rest of the city: commercial cleaning in Burlington.
Where in Palmer does the team go, and what should I tell you?
Everywhere in Palmer, at the same price at every address: the streets winding off Palmer Drive, the crescents between Palmer Drive and Upper Middle Road, the bungalow streets near Guelph Line, and the two-storeys toward Walker's Line and Mainway. Driveways and single or double garages.
Splits put bathrooms on two or three levels; count all of them, including a powder room by the side door. Tell us whether the lower level has a kitchen and whether the people living there are part of the household or a separate tenancy, because the first is lines on one quote and the second is two quotes. Palmer Drive's curves are easy for the team, which is here most weeks.
Beyond Palmer: every cleaning service in Burlington, and the same prices in Oakville, Milton and Mississauga.
How do you price a Palmer split-level with two kitchens?
As one home if it is one household: the Basic clean by bedrooms across all levels, each bathroom as a line, and both kitchens as kitchen lines at +$25 each, with the lower level counted as living space rather than as a basement. As two units if the lower level is a separate tenancy with its own entrance: each priced by its own bedrooms and rooms, each invoiced to whoever books.
Tell us which it is when you book and the calculator build follows: a four-bedroom side-split of 2,000 sq ft with two bathrooms and one kitchen is $250 before HST; with a second kitchen on the lower level it would be $225. If a parent lives downstairs and would rather the team came on a different day from the rest of the house, that can be arranged on a schedule too.
Palmer 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 a five-level back-split take longer, and does that cost more?
It takes longer and it does not cost more: the price is by bedrooms, floor area and rooms, and the visit is organised level by level. The back-split example, 1,600 sq ft with a powder room, one bathroom, the kitchen and a cat, is $246 before HST, the same as a bungalow with those rooms and that size.
Can the lower-level suite be cleaned on a different day from the main house?
Yes, on a schedule: two visits on two days, each priced as its own clean, with the discount on both from the second visit. Most families find one visit simpler, but a parent who prefers a quiet day is easy to accommodate.
Is the raised bungalow's lower level a basement or living space?
If it is finished and lived in, count its bedrooms as bedrooms and its bathroom as a bathroom line; if it is a family room and storage, it is a basement line by size ($45 small, $59 medium, $75 large). The raised bungalow example is priced as a three-bedroom with two bathrooms: $214 before HST.
Will we have the same cleaners each visit?
Whenever possible, yes. On a split-level a team that knows the house does the levels in the right order and misses nothing on the landings; we tell you in advance if someone is away. Every cleaner is background-checked before a first visit, and anything missed is put right within 24 hours, free.
Are you insured?
Heron Cleaning carries $2 million commercial general liability per occurrence ($5 million aggregate).
