Your Trusted House Cleaning in Shaughnessy
Shaughnessy is one of Vancouver’s original 1900s garden-suburb neighbourhoods, and much of it still looks the part: large character homes on generous lots, mature hedges, circular driveways, and the First Shaughnessy heritage conservation area protecting many of the original mansions built for the city’s early lumber and shipping families.
That scale changes what a cleaning visit looks like. These aren’t 700 sq ft condos; they’re multi-storey homes with formal living and dining rooms, separate service areas, and sometimes original plaster walls or older wiring that needs a gentler touch than a modern build. Our team plans for the extra square footage and the older construction rather than pricing and cleaning it like a standard apartment.
Shaughnessy also skews toward owner-occupied, multi-generation households rather than short-term rentals, so most of our bookings here are recurring weekly or bi-weekly visits that keep a large home consistently maintained rather than one-off turnover cleans. Deep cleans tend to come up around holidays or when a family is preparing a heritage home for sale, where original hardwood, wainscoting, and older fixtures all need careful, non-abrasive handling.
Bordering VanDusen Botanical Garden also means plenty of tree cover and garden-adjacent homes, which brings more leaf litter, pollen, and dust through entryways than a downtown condo would see, especially in fall.
Whether it's a heritage house near The Crescent or a newer build closer to Oak Street, our Shaughnessy team sizes the visit to the home rather than applying a flat-rate condo routine to a five-bedroom estate. We bring the same products and techniques that respect older finishes as we do on any heritage property, and we're upfront about how home size and detail level affect the price before we book the visit.

Frequently Asked Questions - Shaughnessy
Do you clean larger heritage homes in Shaughnessy?▾
Yes. Shaughnessy's larger character homes typically take longer than a standard-size clean, and we price and schedule accordingly based on square footage rather than applying a smaller home's timeline.
Can you work around household staff or a specific schedule?▾
Yes. Many Shaughnessy homes already have a regular household routine in place. We're happy to coordinate timing with existing staff, gardeners, or other scheduled visits so the cleaning fits smoothly into your week.
How much does cleaning cost for a larger Shaughnessy home?▾
Pricing scales with square footage, from $249 for smaller units up to $449 for homes in the 1,500 to 1,800 sq ft range. Larger Shaughnessy properties beyond that are quoted individually, call 604-644-0111 for an exact number.
Do you clean after renovation work in Shaughnessy?▾
Post-construction cleaning is a common request in this neighbourhood given how much ongoing renovation happens here. It goes further than a standard deep clean to clear dust that settles into vents and corners during construction.
Can I book a one-time deep clean before switching to regular service?▾
That's the most common path for new Shaughnessy clients. A deep clean resets the home, and a recurring schedule afterward maintains that standard at a lower cost per visit.

What Makes Cleaning a Shaughnessy Home Different
Shaughnessy isn't like most of the neighbourhoods we service, and the difference starts with scale, not location. This is one of Vancouver's original planned garden suburbs, laid out in the 1900s and 1910s for the city's early lumber, shipping, and railway fortunes, and a lot of that original character survives today, protected in part by the First Shaughnessy heritage conservation area that restricts how much these properties can be altered. Walking a Shaughnessy street means passing multi-storey character mansions on quarter-acre-plus lots, mature hedges, gated driveways, and homes built with separate service entrances and staff quarters, a layout you won't find in a condo or a standard postwar house.
Size changes the entire approach
Most of what we clean in Vancouver runs somewhere between a 600 and 1,800 square foot condo or apartment. A Shaughnessy home routinely runs several times that, spread across multiple floors with formal living and dining rooms, libraries or studies, and separate wings that see different amounts of daily use. That size alone changes the math on a cleaning visit: more square footage to cover, more rooms that need attention even if they're used infrequently, and often more bathrooms and more glass than a standard home. We size Shaughnessy bookings by actual square footage and room count rather than treating a mansion like an oversized condo, because the two don't clean at the same rate per square foot.
Original materials need a gentler hand
Many Shaughnessy homes still have original plaster walls, hardwood floors refinished multiple times over a century, wainscoting, and in some cases original leaded or stained glass. Older homes in this price bracket also sometimes carry legacy features like older wiring or plumbing behind the walls, which doesn't affect cleaning directly but does mean we're careful around outlets, older light fixtures, and anything built into original woodwork rather than assuming everything is modern and replaceable. Aggressive chemical cleaners or high-pressure approaches that work fine on a newer surface can damage a century-old finish permanently, so a Shaughnessy visit uses the same non-abrasive, lower-impact products and techniques we'd use on any heritage property, just across a lot more square footage.
Who actually lives here changes the booking pattern
Shaughnessy skews heavily toward long-term, owner-occupied households, often multi-generational families who've owned the home for decades, rather than renters or short-term tenants. That means our Shaughnessy bookings lean recurring: weekly or bi-weekly maintenance visits that keep a large home consistently clean, rather than the move-in and move-out turnover cleaning that dominates our bookings in rental-heavy neighbourhoods like the West End or downtown. Deep cleans in Shaughnessy tend to cluster around specific triggers instead: before hosting a holiday gathering, ahead of a home going on the market, or a seasonal reset after a family has been away.
The garden setting brings its own maintenance pattern
Shaughnessy borders VanDusen Botanical Garden and is one of the most tree-covered residential neighbourhoods in the city, which means more leaf litter, pollen, and garden debris tracked into entryways and mudrooms than a downtown condo would ever see. Fall is particularly heavy for this: big mature trees drop leaves onto driveways and porches for weeks, and that debris makes its way into front hallways regardless of how careful a household is. We factor extra time into entryway and floor cleaning on Shaughnessy visits during peak leaf season, since it's a genuinely different maintenance load than an apartment building would generate.
Coordinating access on a larger property
Because Shaughnessy homes are often set back from the street behind gates or hedges, and because many have specific areas, a home office, a wing currently unused, a room being renovated, that shouldn't be touched on a given visit, we spend more time upfront confirming access and scope with Shaughnessy clients than we would for a straightforward condo. A gate code, a specific entrance to use, or a room to skip are common instructions on a Shaughnessy booking, and getting that right before the visit starts matters more here given how much more of the property there is to potentially get wrong.
Booking a cleaning in Shaughnessy
Because Shaughnessy homes vary so much in size and layout, from a large character house near The Crescent to a newer build closer to Oak Street, we ask for square footage, room count, and any heritage details before quoting a price, rather than applying one of our standard flat-rate tiers built around apartment and condo sizing. Recurring maintenance is the most common arrangement here, and we're upfront that a five-bedroom heritage home will take meaningfully longer than our standard tiers assume, so pricing reflects the actual property rather than a one-size estimate.
