Floor work is priced per job, on top of the $425 to $3,150 a month for routine cleaning in Ottawa. Ask for each job as its own line in the proposal so bids compare fairly. Rates from our pricing method.
Before you sign with a gym cleaning company in Ottawa
Ask the company for:
- A certificate of insurance naming your business, showing commercial general liability (commonly $2 million or more per occurrence) and a janitorial bond, plus a clearance certificate from the WSIB showing their workers' compensation account is in good standing.
- A price that fits the work. In Ottawa, a 12,000 sq ft gym cleaned three times a week runs about $2,000 CAD a month. A bid far below that usually means fewer hours on site, so ask for the crew size and hours per visit.
- Who restocks the wipe stations, and how often showers and locker rooms get a deep clean.
- Two references from buildings like yours in the Ottawa area. Call both.
