Cleaning services in Shoreacres, Burlington: from $89
House cleaning, deep cleaning, a maid service on a schedule and move-in and move-out cleans on the lakeside streets of Shoreacres between Walker's Line and Appleby Line south of New Street, at the same published prices as the rest of Burlington; here 1950s ranch bungalows and their rebuilt neighbours are two very different quotes.
Which homes does Heron clean in Shoreacres?
Shoreacres is detached homes only: the original lakefront enclave of the early 1900s, then the 1950s and 60s ranch bungalows and split-levels that filled the streets between New Street and the lake, a great many of them since renovated top to bottom or torn down for two-storey rebuilds of 3,000 to 4,500 sq ft, and architect-designed estates on the streets that reach the water. Shoreacres is south-east Burlington between Walker's Line and Appleby Line, from New Street down to Lakeshore Road and the lake, around Paletta Lakefront Park and its mansion and the public shoreline, with Roseland to the west and Elizabeth Gardens to the east; the land traces back to Laura Secord's grant after 1812. 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.
Paletta Lakefront Park's mansion and fourteen acres sit at the shore. On one block a 1,900 sq ft bungalow can face a 4,000 sq ft rebuild with five bathrooms.
The team already drives to the streets between New Street and Lakeshore Road off Walker's Line and Appleby Line, the lakefront streets around Paletta Lakefront Park, the bungalow crescents toward Spruce Avenue, and the rebuilt blocks nearest the water. A Shoreacres quote is either a three-bedroom bungalow with two bathrooms, the kitchen and a finished basement, or a four-bedroom rebuild with a size line for 3,000 sq ft and up and four bathrooms; the two are priced from the same lines and land far apart.
How much does house cleaning cost in Shoreacres? From $89
Every Shoreacres home prices from the same lines: the Basic clean by bedrooms ($89 for a condo or one-bedroom, from $149 for a 3-bedroom), the size adjustment above 1,500 sq ft, each full bathroom +$20, the powder room +$12, the kitchen +$25, a finished basement from $45, before HST with supplies included. a three-bedroom 1950s ranch bungalow, 1,900 sq ft, with two bathrooms, the kitchen and a medium finished basement comes to $288; a four-bedroom two-storey rebuild, 3,500 sq ft, with a powder room, four bathrooms and the kitchen to $382; a four-bedroom renovated side-split, 2,200 sq ft, with a powder room, two bathrooms, the kitchen and a dog to $287.
| Home | One-time | Weekly | Bi-weekly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A three-bedroom 1950s ranch bungalow, 1,900 sq ft, with two bathrooms, the kitchen and a medium finished basement | $288 | $230.40 | $230.40 | $259.20 |
| A four-bedroom two-storey rebuild, 3,500 sq ft, with a powder room, four bathrooms and the kitchen | $382 | $305.60 | $305.60 | $343.80 |
| A four-bedroom renovated side-split, 2,200 sq ft, with a powder room, two bathrooms, the kitchen and a dog | $287 | $229.60 | $229.60 | $258.30 |
Each example opens in the calculator with its rooms filled in: the 1,900 sq ft ranch bungalow with the basement, the 3,500 sq ft rebuild, the side-split with the dog. On a lakefront or estate street the size adjustment is usually the second-largest line after the Basic price, and the bathroom count the third, so build the home accurately: above-ground floor area only, the basement on its own line. The add-on list is on the pricing page; nothing is added for the street.
Can I book a maid service on a schedule in Shoreacres?
Yes. Rebuilt Shoreacres homes are weekly or bi-weekly households; the original bungalows bi-weekly or monthly, and the same two people learn which house is which. The 1,900 sq ft ranch bungalow with the basement is $288 one-time and $230.40 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.
Large homes near the lake are the ones that benefit most from a fixed schedule, because four bathrooms and three floors do not catch up in a single visit once they slip. Weekly and bi-weekly are both 20% off from the second visit; bi-weekly is the usual choice in Shoreacres, weekly where there are children, pets or a lot of entertaining. A familiar two-person team comes back each time, and a visit can move with a day's notice. See maid service in Burlington for how the first visit works and weekly and bi-weekly plans in Burlington for the schedules side by side.
What does a deep clean cost for a Shoreacres home?
As a Deep clean the 1,900 sq ft ranch bungalow with the basement is $377 before HST. On a rebuild the Deep upgrade is four or five bathrooms' worth of glass and grout and a tall foyer's fixtures; on an original bungalow it is sixty years of baseboard paint, the sills and the register covers. The upgrade is priced by home size, +$59 to +$239 on top of the Basic clean, and covers the baseboards, doors and frames, switches, sills and tracks, fixtures, edges and buildup, plus every bathroom and kitchen you add done in detail.
| Line | Price |
|---|---|
| Basic Cleaning | $149 |
| Home size adjustment | $15 |
| Deep Cleaning upgrade | $89 |
| Full bathrooms (2 × $20) | $40 |
| Kitchen | $25 |
| Finished basement | $59 |
| Total before HST | $377 |
Near the water the Deep upgrade is mostly about the bathrooms and the glass: grout and caulking that hold moisture, taps and shower doors that scale, window tracks that collect grit off the lake wind, and the light fixtures and vents that a Basic clean only dusts. On a home this size it is the visit to book before guests, before a sale, or once each spring. Oven and fridge interiors are separate lines from +$19 each. The full list, by home size: deep cleaning in Burlington.
Do you do move-in and move-out cleaning in Shoreacres?
Yes. Shoreacres homes change hands to be rebuilt as often as to be lived in, so the move-out clean is sometimes the last clean a bungalow gets; for a rebuild we ask whether the trades are gone. The move-out clean of the 1,900 sq ft ranch bungalow with the basement is $407 before HST: the Deep level of detail on the empty home, closets and built-ins inside, 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 |
| Kitchen | $25 |
| Finished basement | $59 |
| Total before HST | $407 |
Homes here change hands after renovations and rebuilds as often as after a move, so ask for the move-out clean when the home is empty and the trades are gone, and a post-construction clean instead if there is still drywall or sanding dust (that is priced at a walkthrough). For a straightforward handover, the day after the last belongings leave; for a move-in, the day after the keys. The room-by-room move-out checklist lists what a buyer's walkthrough covers, and the Burlington move-out page the inclusions.
Do you clean offices and shops in Shoreacres?
Yes. Near Shoreacres that means the professional suites and clinics along New Street and Appleby Line, the shops and services toward the Appleby and Lakeshore corner, and the low-rise condos along Lakeshore Road. Each workplace type has its own base on the rate card: a small office under 2,000 sq ft at two or three visits a week is $105 a visit ($175 at 2,000–5,000 sq ft) with washrooms, the kitchenette and mopping as lines, before HST, and dental and medical suites, daycares, gyms, shops, restaurant front-of-house and condo common areas are priced on theirs.
Workplaces near the lake tend to be professional suites, clinics and the shops and restaurants along the main road: each is priced on its own base (a dental or medical suite, a retail unit, a restaurant front-of-house) with washrooms, kitchenette and floors as lines. One to three visits a week is a fixed quote with a code from the commercial calculator; four or more is a nightly contract at $32 a cleaner-hour with a 3-hour minimum. More on commercial cleaning in Burlington.
Where in Shoreacres does the team go, and what should I tell you?
Everywhere in Shoreacres, at the same price at every address: the streets between New Street and Lakeshore Road off Walker's Line and Appleby Line, the lakefront streets around Paletta Lakefront Park, the bungalow crescents toward Spruce Avenue, and the rebuilt blocks nearest the water. Long driveways and garages on every lot.
Give the above-ground floor area from your plan; on a rebuild the size line is the second-largest on the quote. Lakefront homes take the wind on their windows and get grit in the tracks, and the older bungalows have original hardwood that is damp-mopped rather than wet; tell us what is original. Tell us about a gate and an alarm where there is one.

How is a rebuilt Shoreacres home with several ensuites priced?
By the same lines as any home, with the bathrooms doing most of the work after the size adjustment: the four-bedroom rebuild on this page, 3,500 sq ft with a powder room, four bathrooms and the kitchen, is $382 before HST, of which the size line is +$100 for 3,500–3,999 sq ft and the four full bathrooms at +$20 each are $80 together. Count every ensuite; each is a line.
The original bungalow across the street prices from the same card and lands far lower: $288 for the three-bedroom ranch, 1,900 sq ft with two bathrooms, the kitchen and a medium finished basement. What the rebuild adds is size and bathrooms, not a premium. On a rebuild the Deep upgrade is mostly bathrooms and height (the shower glass and grout in four or five ensuites, the foyer fixtures), and most Shoreacres clients on a schedule add it in spring and before the holidays. Two cleaners is standard; on the largest homes a third may come at no change to the price.
Shoreacres 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.
Is there a lakefront premium in Shoreacres?
No. The ranch bungalow example is $288 before HST on the lake or on New Street; the price is by bedrooms, above-ground floor area and rooms. The lake changes what builds up (grit in the tracks, scale on the taps), which the Deep upgrade handles.
Why does the rebuild cost so much more than the bungalow?
Size and bathrooms. The rebuild has a fourth bedroom, a +$100 size line for 3,500 sq ft against the bungalow's +$15 for 1,900, and four full bathrooms against two. Same rate card, different homes: $382 against $288 before HST.
Our bungalow is being sold to a builder. Do we still need a move-out clean?
Only if your agreement of purchase and sale asks for the home to be left clean, which many do even when the buyer plans to rebuild. If it does, the move-out clean is the Deep level of detail on the empty home; if it does not, a Basic clean of the empty rooms is enough and costs less. Tell us which and we book the right one.
Do you send the same team to a large home in Shoreacres each visit?
Yes, whenever possible, and on a large home it matters more: a team that knows the house does the four bathrooms and three floors in the right order and remembers which finishes need which product. We tell you in advance if someone is away. Every cleaner is background-checked before a first visit; 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).
How do you book a cleaner in Shoreacres?

An online quote does not reserve a time; the call does. Have the above-ground floor area and the bathroom count to hand; on a larger home those two lines decide most of the price.
Or just call and we build it with you: bedrooms, bathrooms, floor area, basement, pets, and the entry and parking notes above. Booking is by phone, 24 hours a day; if we are mid-clean and miss you, we call back the same day.
