Before you sign with a dealership cleaning company in Saint John
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 WorkSafeNB showing their workers' compensation account is in good standing.
- A price that fits the work. In Saint John, a 20,000 sq ft dealership cleaned three times a week runs about $2,350 CAD a month. A bid far below that usually means fewer hours on site, so ask for the crew size and hours per visit.
- A floor-care schedule that meets your brand's facility standards, with the crew finished before you open.
- Two references from buildings like yours in the Saint John area. Call both.
