The southwest is the part of Calgary where the old city and the new one sit on the same block. A 1950s bungalow comes down and two narrow infills go up beside a house that has not changed since it was built. Our work here splits along that line: builder handovers on brand-new infill, and move-out cleans in rental stock that is fifty or sixty years old. They are not the same job and we do not price them the same way.
Infill and renovation handovers
Altadore, Garrison Woods, Killarney, South Calgary, Richmond, Bankview and Glengarry are full of knock-down rebuilds. A finished infill is three storeys with an open stair run, a lot of glass, and site dust that has had months to settle into every ledge. The final clean before possession means drywall dust out of bulkheads and furnace runs, adhesive and labels off windows and appliances, overspray off tile and glass, and the stair glass and railings done properly because that is the first thing a buyer looks at. We also do post-renovation cleans on older homes where only part of the house was opened up. See post-construction cleaning.
Move-outs in older southwest rentals
Killarney, Bankview, Glenbrook, Glamorgan, Lakeview, Oakridge, Palliser and Braeside carry a lot of long-held rental stock, and older places fail inspections in predictable places — painted-shut window tracks, original hardwood, aging kitchen cabinetry, and basement suites with separate entrances. We clean to the standard a landlord actually inspects against, and we back it with a 72-hour re-clean: if something we cleaned gets flagged, we come back and fix it free. What is included is set out on the move-out cleaning page.
Parking and access on inner-city streets
This is the practical thing nobody mentions. Marda Loop, Altadore and Bankview are permit zones with narrow lanes and no lay-down space, and on an infill street there is often a skip or a trailer already parked where a van would go. Our crew plans for it — we park in the lane and carry in. If your building has a loading door, a fob, or a time window for the elevator, tell us when you book rather than on the day.
Offices, clinics and retail
Southwest commercial work runs through the Marda Loop shops, the professional space along 17th Avenue and Crowchild, the Westhills and Signal Hill centres, and the office and clinic space out in Aspen Woods, Springbank Hill and West Springs. Recurring cleaning is month-to-month with 30 days written notice, daytime, evening or overnight. Commercial general liability and active WCB coverage are on file and we can be named as additional insured on request. See commercial cleaning.
