Residential Cleaning Services in Calgary

The detail standard builders hire us for, applied to the house you actually live in.

HH Contracting built its reputation on the hardest clean in the trade: taking a dust-filled new build to a state where a builder will sign off on it in one walkthrough. Residential cleaning is the same discipline applied to an occupied home, which is why we run it off a documented checklist rather than an hourly guess. You get a defined scope, a consistent crew and a result you can actually check against a list.

We clean houses, condos, townhomes and secondary suites across Calgary and the surrounding communities, on a recurring schedule or as a one-time deep clean. Every cleaner on a residential job is vetted, background-checked and insured under our coverage, and HH remains your single point of contact for scheduling, scope changes and anything that needs to be put right.

What residential cleaning actually covers

Residential cleaning is a broad label, so it is worth being specific about what you are buying. A maintenance clean is the recurring visit that keeps a home level: kitchens and bathrooms cleaned properly, all floors done, dusting through the living space and touch points sanitised. It is not a deep clean, and it is not meant to be. Its job is to stop a house from drifting, which it does well when the visits are regular and the scope is consistent.

A deep clean is the reset. It covers everything a maintenance clean does, plus the items that build up slowly and are easy to skip: inside cabinets and drawers, baseboards and trim along their full run, door frames, window sills and interior glass, vents and returns, light fixtures, and behind or under movable appliances and furniture. Most homes need one before starting a recurring plan, then roughly once or twice a year after that.

A move-related clean is different again, because it is judged by someone other than you, a landlord, a property manager or a buyer's agent. That work is covered on our move-in and move-out cleaning page, which is scoped around inspection standards rather than day-to-day upkeep.

Why a construction cleaning background matters in a house

Most residential cleaning is sold by the hour, which quietly makes time the deliverable instead of the result. Our background is in builder final cleans, where nobody pays for hours; they pay for a house that passes an inspection against a written checklist. We kept that model. Every residential job runs off a scope document, so you know what was meant to happen and can hold the visit against it.

The construction side also teaches you where dirt actually hides. Window and door tracks, the top edge of cabinet crowns, the lip under the counter overhang, HVAC returns, the gap behind the toilet base, the seam where baseboard meets flooring. These are the spots a walkthrough checks and a rushed clean skips. They are in our checklist because a builder taught us to look there.

It matters for renovation-adjacent work too. If you have had a bathroom, kitchen or basement done recently, fine drywall dust keeps recirculating through the furnace for weeks after the trades leave. A standard house clean wipes the surface and the dust comes back. We know to treat the source, and if the job needs it we will tell you it is a post-renovation clean rather than sell you a regular visit that will not hold.

How we vet the cleaners who come to your home

Beyond our own construction crews, our residential, carpet, duct and specialty work is delivered through a vetted network of Calgary specialists rather than a single generalist team. This is deliberate. The person cleaning your carpets should be a carpet technician, not a house cleaner with a rented machine, and the person doing your recurring house clean should not be pulled off a job site that morning.

What that means practically: every specialist we place carries their own liability insurance and WCB coverage, holds the certifications relevant to their trade where a certification exists, and works to our checklist and our quality standard. We check the paperwork before anyone is put on a job, and we re-check it. You do not manage any of that, and you never chase a subcontractor.

HH stays the single point of contact throughout. One phone number, one invoice, one company accountable for the outcome. If something is missed, you call us, not the technician, and we make it right. That is the trade we are offering: the specialist depth of a trade network, with the accountability of a single contractor.

What's included

Kitchens

Counters, backsplash, sink, appliance exteriors, cabinet fronts, range hood and floor degreased and finished. Inside oven and fridge available as an add-on.

Bathrooms

Tubs, showers, glass, tile, grout lines, toilets, vanities, mirrors and fixtures descaled, sanitised and polished.

Living areas & bedrooms

Dusting top-down through shelves, ledges, sills and baseboards, then vacuuming and finish-mopping every floor surface.

Touch points

Light switches, door handles, railings, remote controls and pull handles wiped and sanitised on every visit.

Floors to type

Hardwood, LVP, tile and carpet each cleaned with the right method, so nothing is dulled, swollen or left streaky.

Detail rotation

On recurring plans we rotate the deep items, vents, baseboards, interior glass, behind appliances, so the whole home stays current.

How it works

01

Scope the home

We walk the home or review photos and square footage, then agree a written scope so both sides know exactly what a visit covers.

02

Set the plan

One-time deep clean, or a recurring weekly, biweekly or monthly schedule with a rotating detail list.

03

Clean to checklist

The crew works top-down, room by room, against the agreed checklist rather than a timer.

04

Check and adjust

You review the first visit and we tune the scope. Recurring plans get reviewed again after a month.

Ideal for

  • Busy households wanting a consistent recurring clean
  • One-time deep cleans and seasonal resets
  • Homes just finished with a renovation
  • Condos, townhomes and secondary suites
  • Rental properties between tenancies

What it costs

Residential cleaning is quoted by home size, condition and frequency, not by the hour, so you get one number and a defined scope. Recurring plans price lower per visit than one-time deep cleans. Send your square footage, bedroom and bathroom count for a same-day quote.

Questions about residential cleaning

Do I need to be home during the clean?

No. Most clients give us access instructions and are out during the visit. Every cleaner we place is vetted, background-checked and covered under insurance, and we can work to whatever access arrangement you prefer.

What is the difference between a deep clean and a regular clean?

A regular maintenance clean keeps the home level: kitchens, bathrooms, floors, dusting and touch points. A deep clean adds the slow-build items, inside cabinets, full baseboard runs, door frames, vents, light fixtures, interior glass and behind appliances. Most homes start with a deep clean, then maintain.

Do you bring your own supplies and equipment?

Yes. Crews arrive with commercial vacuums, microfibre systems and professional-grade products. If you would rather we use products you supply, for allergies or surface reasons, tell us at quoting and we will work with yours.

Can I get the same cleaner every visit?

On recurring plans, yes, that is the default. Consistency is most of what makes a recurring clean work, because the crew learns your home. We tell you in advance if a substitution is needed.

Are you insured for work inside my home?

Yes. We carry liability insurance and WCB coverage, and every specialist we place carries their own as well. We can provide certificates on request, which is standard for us because commercial construction sites require it.
