How to get a useful Merry Maids price
Ask the local office serving your address to confirm the price and included work. We have not verified an Oakville fixed rate card, so this page does not assign Merry Maids an estimated price.
Give both companies the same bedroom count, floor area, bathroom count, desired frequency and condition of the home. Say whether the visit is routine upkeep, detailed cleaning or an empty-home move. List appliances and other extras before comparing totals.
Ask for the total before tax and the tax-inclusive total. An hourly rate per cleaner, a team’s hourly rate and a fixed per-visit price measure different things. If a quote uses hours, confirm the number of cleaners and any minimum charge.
What would that home cost with Heron?
For a specific example, a three-bedroom home with 1,700 sq ft of above-ground area, two full bathrooms and kitchen cleaning is $229 (mopping included) before HST at Heron. This is our price for those selections. It is not an estimate of what Merry Maids charges.

Compare the work, not only the starting price
| Check | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Bathrooms and kitchen | Which rooms are included and whether their floors are washed. |
| Floor area | Any size limit or adjustment; whether the basement is separate. |
| Detail work | Baseboards, frames, tracks and buildup work for a Deep clean. |
| Appliance interiors | Inside oven, fridge and cupboards, rather than exterior surfaces alone. |
| Recurring visits | The first-visit price, later-visit price and notice needed to change a date. |
| Access and tax | Paid parking, building access and the final HST-inclusive total. |
A useful quote should make omissions visible. If you only need dusting, vacuuming and mopping, a narrow scope may suit you. If you need bathrooms and kitchen work too, include them before deciding which price fits your budget.
