Commercial Cleaning & Janitorial Services
If you manage a commercial property in the Lower Mainland, the difference between a forgettable cleaner and a great one is consistency. YVR Building Care builds you a written cleaning scope, we follow it every single visit, and we document the work with photos so you know exactly what happened while tenants were out of the building.

- Lobby, washroom, and kitchen sanitization with SDS-listed products
- Hard-floor care — dust-mop, damp-mop, burnishing, strip & wax

- Interior glass, partition, and display-case cleaning
- Trash, recycling, and organics pickup with bin sanitization

Why property managers choose us
Built for the problems you actually have.
We build a site-specific cleaning checklist with you before we start. No generic template — the checklist reflects your actual floor plan, tenant mix, access constraints, and the surfaces that matter most in your building. We revisit it quarterly to keep it current.
Every cleaning visit ends with a photo walkthrough of key surfaces. Your property manager can pull up the most recent visit on their phone without making a single call. This alone eliminates about eighty percent of the back-and-forth our clients used to have with previous cleaners.
We carry the right products for the right surfaces. Terrazzo lobbies don’t get the same treatment as vinyl plank. Commercial glass, tile grout, polished stone, and touch-point metals all have specific product requirements — we stock them all on our trucks.
We handle consumables as part of the program. Your paper, soap, sanitizer, and liners get restocked automatically based on actual usage data from our visits — you stop getting 4pm Friday phone calls about empty dispensers.

How we work
- 1
Walkthrough and scope. We visit the property, photograph key areas, document access constraints and tenant schedules, and write a cleaning scope tailored to the building.
- 2
Written proposal. Flat monthly rate with inclusions itemized line by line. No hourly estimates, no vague minimums, no “additional cleaning products” line items.
- 3
Start date and crew intro. We schedule a start date and introduce you to the specific crew members who will be in the building. Same faces week to week is a baseline expectation, not a premium feature.
- 4
Ongoing care. Daily, nightly, or weekly visits per scope. Photo-documented condition reports delivered monthly. Quarterly scope reviews to adjust frequency or surface coverage as the building changes.
Pricing
Commercial cleaning contracts are priced as a flat monthly rate based on square footage, frequency, and the complexity of finishes. Small offices typically start around $800–$1,500 per month for weekly cleans; larger mid-rise office buildings with nightly service typically fall between $3,500 and $12,000 per month. Every quote is fixed — we don’t charge by the hour, and we don’t surprise you with mid-year increases.
Scheduling
Most commercial cleaning happens after hours. We run shifts starting at 5:00 PM through to roughly 2:00 AM across our territory, with an early-morning lobby and washroom refresh team that finishes before tenant arrival. We’ll schedule around your specific access and alarm protocols.
Frequently asked
Do you provide your own equipment and supplies?
Yes. Every crew arrives with their own vacuums, mops, carts, and consumable stock. We include product and consumables in the contract price unless you prefer to supply specific brands (some medical tenants do).
Do you carry WHMIS / SDS documentation?
Yes. SDS sheets for every product we use are available on request and always on-site with the crew. WHMIS training is part of employee onboarding.
Can you work around a building with 24/7 occupancy?
Absolutely. We have routes that run through buildings with round-the-clock tenants (medical, hospitality, fitness). We coordinate scope, timing, and noise-sensitive tasks with your occupants.
How quickly can you start a new contract?
For a standard office of under 10,000 sqft, we can typically complete the walkthrough, quote, and first clean within one to two weeks. Larger multi-floor buildings usually take two to four weeks to ramp up properly.
