How does the age of a Waterloo home change the clean?
Waterloo grew outward from Uptown in waves, and each wave built a different kind of house. A MacGregor-Albert brick home, a Northdale rental and a Vista Hills two-storey put the hours in different places. Tell us which one you have when you ask for a quote and the number starts closer to right.
| Built | Where you find them | What it means for the clean |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-1800s to mid-1900s | MacGregor-Albert, beside Uptown | Italianate and Queen Anne houses with detailed trim, tall baseboards and original wood floors. The hours go into hand work, not floor area. Mention a third floor or a steep back staircase. |
| Late 1940s to 1960s | Northdale, between the two universities | Small post-war houses, many of them rented to students for decades. Several tenants share one kitchen and one or two bathrooms, and those rooms set the time more than the bedrooms do. |
| 1960s and 1970s | Lakeshore | Bungalows, backsplits and sidesplits. A split-level has several short flights of stairs, and each one gets vacuumed by hand. Count a finished basement as another floor. |
| Early 1970s to 1990s | Beechwood | Large 1970s homes on big lots and 1980s and 1990s executive houses. More rooms and more bathrooms than the street view suggests, so quote by bedroom and bathroom count. |
| The last 10 to 15 years | Vista Hills | Open main floors, nine-foot ceilings and a lot of glass, plus stacked townhouses. High ledges, light fixtures and shower glass take longer than the square footage suggests. |
| Condos and student towers | Uptown, Northdale | Less floor, but a full kitchen and bathroom in a small space. Tell us about parking, elevator bookings or a fob before the day so the crew arrives ready. |

When should a Waterloo landlord book a move-out clean?
Northdale filled with family houses after 1946. Through the 1980s and 1990s, as the University of Waterloo and Laurier grew, students started renting them, and by 2014, 73 of those houses had been torn down for 18 new buildings with about 1,028 units, according to Community Edition.
The University of Waterloo's off-campus housing guide says a standard lease runs one year and a tenant must give 60 days' written notice before it ends. So a landlord usually knows the move-out date two months ahead. Book the clean then.
Move In / Out Cleaning in Waterloo starts at $279 and covers the inside of every cabinet, closet and drawer, the oven, fridge and range hood, and the window sills, tracks and interior glass. Our move-out cleaning checklist lists the rest.
Why do Waterloo bathrooms take longer to clean?
Hard water. The Region of Waterloo explains that its groundwater is hard because of the minerals it picks up underground. The hardness map the Region links to puts the City of Waterloo between 17 and 36 grains per gallon.
You see it as white spots on shower glass, a crust around the taps and a ring at the waterline of the toilet. Every residential clean polishes mirrors and fixtures. Scale that has sat for months on glass and in grout is deep-clean work, which starts at $249 and includes grout scrubbing and tile detailing. Once it is gone, recurring visits from $129 keep it from coming back. Deep cleaning vs. regular cleaning explains the difference.
Do you clean the rest of Waterloo Region?
Yes. We have crews in Kitchener and Cambridge, and our office is up the road in Guelph. Offices, clinics and shops in Waterloo can ask for a commercial cleaning quote. The full list of service areas covers all 20 cities.
