When a Repentigny manager looks for a commercial cleaning company, they almost always ask two questions: how many times a week should the team come, and how much will it cost per month? The two answers are linked. Here is how we calculate them, with real numbers.
The rate: $40 per hour, per agent
At Y CLEAN, commercial cleaning is billed at $40 per hour per agent. This rate includes vetted, trained staff, products, equipment and liability insurance. It is the same in Repentigny, Terrebonne or Montreal.
Unlike residential, there is no frequency discount on commercial. What changes your budget is the number of hours, and that depends on three things: the square footage, the tasks requested and… the frequency itself. That is the point most quotes never explain.
How many visits per week for your type of facility
There is no universal right frequency. Here is what we see at businesses and offices across the region, from boulevard Brien to rue Notre-Dame:
| Type of facility | Usual frequency | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Professional office accountant, notary, insurance | 1 to 3 times a week | Little public traffic, mostly workstations and a kitchenette |
| Clinic, health practice | 5 times a week | Disinfecting rooms and contact points cannot wait until the next day |
| Retail store | 2 to 3 times a week | Floors, windows and fitting rooms get dirty fast when customers come in from outside |
| Daycare, CPE | 5 times a week | Young children touch everything: a visit every evening is the norm |
| Building common areas | 2 to 3 times a week | Lobbies, hallways, stairs and mail room, depending on the number of units |
| Warehouse, industrial unit | 1 to 2 times a week | Mainly offices, locker rooms and washrooms |
These frequencies are a starting point. The real recommendation comes after visiting your premises: a 10-person office with a busy kitchenette does not have the same needs as a 3-person practice.
Same office, four frequencies: what changes on the bill
Take a 2,000 sq ft office in Repentigny, with standard upkeep: floors, garbage, washrooms, contact surfaces and kitchenette. Here is what each frequency costs, with one agent:
| Frequency | Hours per visit | Per week | Per month (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Once a week | 2.5 to 3 h | $100 to $120 | $435 to $520 |
| Twice a week | 2.5 h | $200 | $865 |
| 3 times a week | 2 to 2.5 h | $240 to $300 | $1,040 to $1,300 |
| 5 times a week | 1.5 to 2 h | $300 to $400 | $1,300 to $1,730 |
Amounts before taxes. Month calculated on 4.33 weeks.
Look at the "hours per visit" column: the more often the team comes, the shorter each visit. With a single visit a week, seven days of dust, marks and garbage are waiting for the team. With five visits, each one is light upkeep. That is why going from 1 to 5 visits a week multiplies the bill by 3 or 4, not by 5.
The single-visit trap
One visit a week is tempting for the budget. It suits a small, quiet office. But for a business that receives the public, washrooms and the entrance do not last seven days. You often end up adding emergency visits, which are billed too. Better to choose the right frequency from the start.
Why choose a company based in Repentigny
Our office is at 306 rue Charles-Marchand. For a commercial contract, this proximity matters more than you might think:
- A quick assessment visit, often within the week, for a quote based on your actual premises rather than a phone estimate.
- A stable team from the area that knows your keys, your alarm system and your instructions.
- Replacement without a service gap if an agent is away: the local team takes over the same evening.
What your cleaning contract should include
To avoid misunderstandings, a clear contract specifies:
- The frequency and visit times: which evenings, starting at what time.
- The list of tasks at each visit, and those done once a month (interior windows, tops of frames, baseboards).
- Access: keys, alarm code, who to contact if there is a problem.
- The monthly amount and what happens if you add or remove visits.
To go further, our commercial cleaning contract guide details each clause.

Frequently asked questions
How much does commercial cleaning cost in Repentigny?
Y CLEAN charges $40 per hour per agent, products, equipment and insurance included. For a 2,000 sq ft office, the budget ranges from about $435 a month for one visit a week to about $1,300 to $1,730 for five visits a week.
How many times a week should an office be cleaned?
A professional office with little public traffic often needs one to three visits a week. A clinic, a daycare or a busy store needs a visit every evening. We recommend the frequency after visiting the premises.
Is there a discount for more visits?
No: the commercial rate stays at $40 per hour, whatever the number of visits. However, each visit is shorter when the team comes often, because dirt does not have time to build up. Doubling the frequency does not double the bill.
Can the cleaning be done in the evening or on weekends?
Yes. Most of our commercial clients in Repentigny prefer a visit after closing or early in the morning, so the team does not disturb employees or customers. The schedule is set in the contract.
Where is your office located?
Our office is at 306 rue Charles-Marchand, Repentigny (J5Z 4P2). Our teams serve Repentigny, Le Gardeur, Charlemagne, L'Assomption, Terrebonne, Mascouche and the whole north shore.
