What to know about Move-In cleaning
Move-in cleaning happens in the short window between getting the keys and the arrival of your furniture, when every cupboard, closet and floor is empty and easy to reach. The previous occupants may have left the place tidy, spotless or neither, and a brand-new house comes with its own film of construction dust. A move-in clean brings the surfaces you'll cook on, store food in and sleep beside up to your own standard.
Read our full guide to Move-In cleaningWhat changes in Montreal
We list 19 areas inside Montreal on their own pages, because a service area is drawn by each pro and does not always reach the whole city. For move-in cleaning, the part of town matters as much as the city.
Montreal is the principal city of a wider area we list under the name Greater Montreal, which takes in 63 other places. A pro's service area might be Montreal on its own or the whole of it — we match on the one they gave us.
Montreal publishes its own building-permit page, and it is linked below beside the rules that apply in Quebec. Whether move-in cleaning needs a permit is answered there, not in a quote.
Our Quebec guide has no rule written for this trade, so there is none below. That is not the same as nothing applying: ask for proof of insurance, and for anything that touches gas, wiring or drains, ask who is certified to do it.
Move-in cleaning costs in Montreal
Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Size of the home and number of bathrooms
- Type of clean: regular, deep, move-in or move-out
- Current condition and how long since the last clean
- How often you book
- Extras like inside the oven, fridge, cabinets or windows
- Pets, stairs and access
How to choose cleaners in Montreal
- Ask exactly what's included in a standard clean, a deep clean and a move-out clean, since each company defines them differently.
- Check whether the company carries liability insurance and whether cleaners are employees or contractors.
- Ask whether they bring their own supplies and equipment, and whether they can use products you prefer.
- For recurring service, ask whether the same cleaner or team will usually come.
- For specialty work like carpet, upholstery or pressure washing, choose someone with the right equipment for that job.
Questions to ask cleaners before you hire
- What exactly is included in the clean you're quoting?
- Do you bring your own supplies and equipment?
- Are you insured if something is damaged or someone is hurt?
- Will the same person or team come each time?
- How do you handle keys, alarm codes and access to my home?
- What happens if I'm not happy with part of the clean?
Move-in cleaning permits in Montreal
Some move-in cleaning work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common move-in cleaning questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
