Compare the same building, same tasks and same inspection standard.
A low quote is not comparable when one provider priced the lobby and another priced every corridor, elevator, amenity and waste touchpoint. Start with a site walk and a written schedule by area.
List every included common area
Entrances, vestibules, lobbies, elevators, stairs, corridors, mail areas, amenity rooms, washrooms, offices and waste routes should be named—not implied.
Assign frequency by use and consequence
High-traffic entrances may need a different rhythm from storage rooms or low-use amenity areas. Seasonal soil and event use should be planned explicitly.
Make inspection and escalation part of the scope
Name who reviews completed work, how issues are reported, which events need urgent contact and how recurring misses are corrected.
Quote-comparison control
Require these six fields from every bidder.
Without a shared request, price differences reveal different assumptions rather than better value.
| Field | What to specify | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Area inventory | Every included building space | Prevents invisible exclusions |
| Task schedule | Task and frequency by area | Separates daily appearance from periodic detail |
| Access | Keys, fobs, hours, alarms and contacts | Protects security and service continuity |
| Supplies | Products, equipment and storage responsibility | Avoids day-one assumptions |
| Inspection | Who checks what and how often | Creates an observable service standard |
| Exceptions | Spills, sharps, leaks, pests, biohazards and damage | Routes non-routine conditions safely |
Scope by resident journey
Follow the path from the street to the suite door.
The most visible experience is usually a sequence: entrance glass and mats, lobby, mail area, elevator or stairs, corridor and shared amenities.
Arrival zones
Define floors, mats, reachable glass, door surfaces, ledges and seasonal water or grit control at every public entrance.
Vertical circulation
Name elevator interiors, buttons, tracks that are safely reachable, stair rails, landings and the frequency needed for actual resident traffic.
Amenities and shared rooms
Specify washrooms, gyms, lounges, offices, guest suites or meeting spaces individually; each has different use, products and reset expectations.
Waste and service areas
Separate routine reachable cleaning from bulky-item handling, pest response, hazardous waste and building-maintenance work.
Governance that survives staff changes
Keep the property standard in the contract—not in one person's memory.
The strata council, property manager and cleaning provider need a durable record of the service being purchased and the person authorized to change it.
Name the decision makers
Identify the authorized contact for schedule, access, complaints, additional work and emergency escalation.
Use a dated site brief
Record the property, included areas, approved products, storage, equipment, frequency and any building-specific restrictions.
Review observable outcomes
Track repeat soil, missed areas, supply issues and resident complaints against the written scope before changing frequency or provider.
Residential unit versus common property
Do not merge two different customer and access systems.
Strata common-area cleaning is a commercial property scope. Private-unit house cleaning is booked by the resident for the dwelling. Keep consent, keys, invoices and service standards separate.
Common property
The strata corporation or authorized manager defines the building spaces, schedule and access.
Private homes
The resident chooses the home-cleaning service, provides unit access and receives the applicable house-cleaning checklist.
Turnover or restoration
Vacant-unit turnover, construction dust, carpet extraction, exterior windows or remediation may require separate scopes or specialist providers.

Read our Google reviews ↗“I’ve tried a couple of cleaning services in Vancouver before, but NearMe has honestly been the most reliable so far. We’ve been using them for a few months now for regular cleaning, and the difference is consistency. The cleaners show up on time, they don’t rush through things, and the place actually feels properly cleaned after they leave. What I like most is that it doesn’t feel random every time like with other companies. There’s clearly a system they follow, which makes a big difference. Pricing is fair for what you get, and booking has been pretty smooth as well. No back and forth or confusion. If you’re looking for a dependable house cleaning service in Vancouver, I’d definitely recommend giving them a try.”
“Got a Biweekly house cleaning services from the Nearme cleaning in Vancouver.It's been 7 months already Reliable and very Good pricing!”
“Prices are reasonable. Good cleaners and they provide their own supplies. You only need to supply your ow vacuum, mop, broom, etc. We initially got a cleaner who didn’t meet our standards, but they were able to send a better one after. Responsive with requests/inquiries. Had a couple of booking changes, but was able to correct within reason. Overall, good service!”
Questions before you decide
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to the questions customers ask before choosing a service, schedule or cleaning company.
The included work depends on the property contract. A useful scope names each common area, the tasks performed there, the frequency, products or equipment, access and the inspection standard.
Set frequency by traffic, soil, season and consequence. Entrances and elevators may need a different schedule from storage or low-use amenity areas. A site walk is more reliable than one universal timetable.
The strata corporation is responsible for strata decisions and may authorize a licensed strata property manager within a written management contract. Confirm who has authority to approve scope, invoices and changes for the actual property.
NearMe can assess eligible commercial common-area work and separate residential unit bookings. The two services require different authorization, access, scope and billing.
Not automatically. Carpet shampooing or extraction and exterior window washing are specialist services outside NearMe's standard commercial scope unless an appropriate provider is separately arranged.
NearMe Commercial Cleaning starts from $148. A strata price is confirmed from the property, square footage, areas, tasks, frequency, access and supplies.
