Presale Completions: Moving Into a Brand-New Tower

If you bought a presale at Metrotown, Brentwood or Gilmore, you already know that "new" does not mean "clean". Builder cleans are often rushed, and deficiency repairs after your walk-through add fresh dust. Our move-in clean for new units covers:

• Fine drywall and construction dust inside every cabinet, drawer and closet
• Protective film, stickers and adhesive on appliances, glass and fixtures
• Grout and paint haze on tile and floors
• Grit in window tracks, balcony door tracks and floor edges
• Fan covers, vents and light fixtures dusted
• Kitchen and bathrooms sanitized before first use

New buildings usually have strict move-in schedules during completion month. Book your clean right after your move-in slot is confirmed so you are not competing with the whole tower for elevator time.

Moving Out of an Older Burnaby Building

Older concrete and wood-frame condos along Kingsway, around Highgate and in the Lougheed and Cariboo area have their own move-out issues: aluminium windows with condensation stains, baseboard heaters full of dust, older kitchens with years of grease on the hood fan and cabinets, and bathrooms with tired grout. Under BC tenancy rules, the landlord compares the unit with the move-in condition report at the end of the tenancy, and these are the areas that usually come up. We put our effort there first. Check your tenancy agreement for any specific cleaning clauses. We are cleaners, not legal advisers.

Concierge, Fobs and Elevator Bookings

Most Burnaby towers have a concierge or building manager who needs to know who is coming and when. Before your clean:

1. Confirm your elevator booking and share the time window with us.
2. Arrange a fob or leave keys with the concierge if you will not be there.
3. Book a visitor parking stall if your building allows it, because Metrotown street parking is limited.
4. Empty your storage locker and bike room space if those are part of the inspection.

SFU and Student Moves on Burnaby Mountain

At the end of each SFU term, apartments and townhomes in UniverCity and student rentals around the campus change over within a few days. If you are a student moving out of a shared unit, booking a professional clean together with your roommates is often the easiest way to settle who cleans what and to return the unit in good shape. Landlords renting to students can book us to reset the unit between groups.

Houses in North Burnaby, Capitol Hill and South Slope

Detached homes in Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill, Brentwood Park, South Slope and Deer Lake often have suites, older finishes and more rooms. We clean the whole house when it sells or changes tenants, or just the suite when one tenant moves. Tell us how many kitchens and bathrooms there are so we can size the team.

Our hourly rate starts from $50 per hour (3-hour minimum). Move cleans are quoted on size and condition once you share the details.

For Landlords and Investors

A large share of Burnaby condos are investor-owned and rented out. If you own a unit at Metrotown or Brentwood but live elsewhere, we can collect keys from the concierge, clean between tenants and send photos of the finished unit. That way you can list it, show it and do the move-in inspection without a long drive. We can also clean right after a tenant's move-out inspection, so the photos in your listing match what new applicants will see.

If a unit needs more than cleaning, such as patching, painting or repairs, book the clean after the trades finish so dust from their work does not undo it.

Combining Services

Many Burnaby moves combine a move clean with carpet cleaning in Burnaby for bedrooms, or with steam cleaning in Burnaby for upholstery and mattresses in furnished units. Ask for both when you request your quote and we will schedule them together.

Burnaby Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning FAQs

Do you clean new presale condos before move-in?

Yes. We remove construction dust, stickers, adhesive and grout haze, and clean cabinets, tracks and floors before your furniture goes in.

Can you work around my building's elevator booking?

Yes. Tell us your move window and we will schedule the clean before or after it, depending on whether you are moving in or out.

Do you clean baseboard heaters?

Yes. When the heaters are off and cool, we dust and wipe them, which helps stop burnt-dust smells when the heat comes on.

Can students book a clean for a shared unit?

Yes. Roommates can book one move-out clean for the whole unit, which is often simpler than splitting the cleaning.

Will a move-out clean make sure I get my deposit back?

It covers the areas most often raised at BC move-out inspections. Damage is separate, and the deposit decision rests with your landlord or the Residential Tenancy Branch.

What if something was missed?

Call us within 24 hours and we will come back under our 24-hour re-clean guarantee.
