Apartment & Condo Buildings · Montreal & Surrounding Areas
Cleaner shared spaces make a better first impression—every day.
A clean lobby, hallway and shared facility makes everyday life more pleasant for residents and visitors. Montreal Cleaners can build a recurring cleaning plan around your building’s layout, traffic, operating hours and priorities, with written specifications for the work requested.
- Cleaning plans defined by building area, task and frequency
- Early-morning, evening or weekend scheduling can be discussed
- Free site audit and a written quote for your building
Montreal Cleaners provides recurring janitorial cleaning for apartment and condo buildings, including agreed common areas such as lobbies, hallways and shared facilities. The task list, schedule and quote are tailored to your property after discussing its layout, use and priorities. A free site audit helps define the requested scope and written specifications. Service is available in Montreal and surrounding areas; share all property addresses to confirm coverage for multi-site or regional requests.
Common-area cleaning tailored to your building
Every property has its own traffic patterns and cleaning priorities. A mid-rise rental building, a high-traffic condo tower and a smaller walk-up do not necessarily need the same schedule. We’ll discuss how residents and visitors use the property, which areas need regular attention and when cleaning can take place.
Depending on the agreed scope, a recurring plan may cover areas such as:
- Entrance and lobby: floors, accessible surfaces and agreed touchpoints
- Hallways and corridors: floor care and dusting of agreed accessible surfaces
- Stairwells: cleaning tasks and frequency defined for the building
- Elevator areas: agreed cleaning of interior surfaces and surrounding floors
- Shared washrooms: cleaning and, if included, restocking supplies provided or specified in the agreement
- Amenity spaces: tasks for shared rooms such as lounges or fitness areas, when included in the scope
- Waste and recycling areas: agreed upkeep, subject to access and disposal arrangements
The final task list should identify exactly which areas, surfaces and duties are included. Specialized floor treatments, exterior windows, heavy waste removal and work requiring special equipment should be discussed separately.
One written plan for clearer expectations
Building managers need to know what will be cleaned, when it will be done and how to raise a concern. The proposed work can be documented by area, task and frequency, so the service scope is clear to the property’s decision-makers.
- Defined zones: identify the areas included in the service.
- Agreed frequency: set a schedule based on building use and priorities.
- Access coordination: discuss keys, codes, restricted areas and building procedures.
- Optional tasks: identify periodic or specialty work that falls outside routine visits.
For recurring commercial contracts, the company describes written specifications, monthly quality audits and photo reports. Confirm which reporting and follow-up details apply to your building and are included in its service agreement.
How to set up building cleaning
1. Share the building details
Tell us the property address, approximate size, number of floors, shared facilities, preferred cleaning frequency and any access requirements. For multiple buildings, provide each address and note how their needs differ.
2. Review the site and priorities
A free site audit helps discuss the property’s layout, traffic, current condition and cleaning priorities. Identify busy entrances, resident amenities and any areas that require special attention.
3. Define the task list and schedule
Agree on which areas and tasks are included, how often each is performed and the preferred service window. Raise building rules, security procedures and any areas that should remain off-limits.
4. Confirm the written specifications
Review the proposed scope and quote before service begins. Make sure the document reflects the requested areas, frequency, access arrangements and any agreed reporting or periodic tasks.
Benefits for property managers and residents
- A more welcoming entrance: regularly maintained shared areas support a positive impression for residents, guests and prospective tenants.
- Fewer cleaning tasks for building staff: outsourcing agreed routine duties can free on-site personnel to focus on other property needs.
- More consistent expectations: written specifications help clarify what is scheduled in each area.
- Scheduling around building activity: discuss service windows intended to reduce disruption to residents and visitors.
- A plan that can be reviewed: changes in occupancy, traffic or building use can be raised for discussion when reviewing the scope.

This page focuses on the shared areas of apartment and condo buildings, not routine housekeeping inside individual units. Residents seeking cleaning for their own apartment can explore apartment and house cleaning services.
Montreal-area service and multi-site requests
Cleaning requests are welcome for apartment and condo buildings in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil and nearby North Shore and South Shore communities. For properties in Quebec City, Ottawa or Gatineau, include the address in your request so availability can be confirmed.
If you manage several buildings, provide the addresses and service requirements for each property. A site audit can help establish whether the locations can be included in a coordinated plan.
What affects the quote?
Building cleaning is quoted according to the work required at the property. Relevant factors may include:
- Building size, number of floors and layout
- Number and type of common areas and shared facilities
- Resident and visitor traffic
- Requested tasks and service frequency
- Preferred hours, access and security arrangements
- Flooring types and any additional or periodic services
- Number of properties included in a multi-site request
There is no single price that fits every building. Request a free site audit to discuss the property and receive a quote based on the agreed scope.
Apartment and condo building cleaning — your questions
Which areas of an apartment or condo building can be cleaned?
The proposed scope can include agreed common areas such as entrances, lobbies, hallways, stairwells, elevator areas, shared washrooms and amenity spaces. The specific areas and tasks should be listed in the written specifications.
Do you clean inside individual apartments?
This service page is for common areas and shared facilities. For cleaning inside a resident’s unit, see the apartment and house cleaning service.
Can service take place outside busy hours?
Early-morning, evening and weekend scheduling can be discussed during the site audit. The final schedule depends on availability, building access and the service requirements.
How often should common areas be cleaned?
Frequency depends on building size, resident traffic, shared amenities and the tasks requested. The audit is an opportunity to discuss a practical schedule for the property.
Are cleaning supplies and washroom products included?
Confirm which cleaning products, equipment and restocking items are included in the proposed scope. The written specifications should state whether washroom consumables are supplied by the client or included in the agreement.
How is the price determined?
The quote depends on factors such as building size, number of floors, shared facilities, traffic, requested frequency, access and any additional tasks. A site audit helps define the work before pricing is finalized.
Can you clean several buildings under one request?
Multi-site requirements can be discussed. Provide each address, the desired schedule and any differences in scope so coverage and the proposed plan can be confirmed for every property.
Do you provide cleaning after renovations or construction?
Post-construction cleaning is a separate service from routine building maintenance. If your property needs a handover or renovation clean, ask about the post-construction cleaning service and explain the project scope.
What should I prepare before the site audit?
It helps to have the building address, approximate size, number of floors, a list of shared areas, preferred service hours and any building access or security procedures. You can also note current concerns and tasks that may need periodic attention.
