New Westminster is one of Metro Vancouver's smallest cities by area (just 15.6 km²) but one of its most architecturally varied. House cleaning in New Westminster spans three very different housing types: glass-and-steel river-facing condos around Westminster Quay and the Brewery District, mid-century homes in Connaught Heights and West End, and 19th- and early-20th-century heritage houses on the Queen's Park hill — many of which are formally protected. That housing-stock spread means a 'standard clean' in New Westminster covers everything from a 600 sq ft modern studio to a 3,000 sq ft 1905 character home with original woodwork. Cleaners who work New Westminster typically also cover Burnaby South and Coquitlam West because the city is small enough that single-city specialists are rare. The ranges below reflect recent quotes across these submarkets, gathered over the past three months.

What affects the price
Queen's Park heritage homes are the biggest pricing wildcard. Cleaners experienced with century-old housing know to avoid acidic products on original fir or oak floors, to handle leaded windows by hand, and to factor in two-bathrooms-per-floor on the larger houses. That experience is priced in: expect quotes 15–25% over the rate for a comparable-size modern home elsewhere in the city. The Westminster Quay corridor (Plaza 88, Quayside, Pier West) and the Brewery District in Sapperton are newer high-rise developments with downtown-Vancouver-style concierge requirements — COI, fob loan, 24-hour booking notice — which narrows the cleaner pool to larger agencies with documentation already filed. Sapperton's proximity to Royal Columbian Hospital creates a small but consistent healthcare-worker clientele booking recurring bi-weekly cleans, which is the most price-competitive segment in the city. Move-out demand spikes around SkyTrain-station condo turnover (Columbia and New West stations) and around the May/August academic calendar at Douglas College. Smaller West End and Glenbrook houses, often older 1940s–60s stock, get quoted by hour at the lower end of the range. Most New Westminster cleaners stock eco-friendly supplies by default; specialty heritage products (microcrystalline wax for old wood, gentle leaded-glass cleaners) are usually a small add-on rather than included. Always confirm whether interior windows, balconies, and inside-the-oven are scoped — these are the three items where New Westminster quotes most often vary.
