How to Choose an Office Cleaning Company in Montréal

· Abe Turan

Simple Service is a commercial cleaning company based in Laval that serves offices, clinics, retail and warehouses across Greater Montréal. To choose an office cleaning company in Montréal, check five things: liability insurance, CNESST registration, bonded employees, a written contract listing tasks and frequency, and a price quoted per visit. Simple Service carries $5M general liability insurance, a $10M umbrella, bonded employees and CNESST registration.

What an office cleaning contract should cover

A good contract lists tasks by zone (offices, restrooms, kitchenette, common areas), how often each task is done and the visit hours. A task that is not written down is not part of the service. Also ask for the term, the notice period to cancel and how to report a missed item.

Questions to ask before you sign

  • What liability insurance do you carry, and can you send the certificate?
  • Are you registered with the CNESST? Are employees bonded?
  • Who is the contact when something goes wrong, and how fast do they reply?
  • Is the price per visit or per month, and is tax extra?
  • What happens if a visit is missed?

Red flags

A price far below the others with no task list, a refusal to show proof of insurance, a contract with no cancellation clause, or a quote given without any questions about the premises.
