What to know before hiring a cleaner in Sherbrooke

Cleaning is unlicensed in Quebec. What protects you is liability insurance and bonding for theft, plus CNESST coverage for anyone working in your home. If you hire an individual directly rather than a company, you may be treated as their employer for tax and workers’ compensation purposes; ask before assuming otherwise.

Ask for a written checklist of what a standard clean includes and what counts as an add-on, such as inside the oven, windows, or a move-out clean. Consistency comes from sending the same person or team, so ask how the company handles staffing.

Sherbrooke is unusual in Quebec: its electricity comes from Hydro-Sherbrooke, a municipal utility, not Hydro-Québec. The Saint-François and Magog rivers meet downtown and flood the low streets in spring, the Townships winter is long and cold, and wood stoves are common in the older neighbourhoods and the outlying boroughs. RBQ licensing applies to every contractor.

Questions to ask before booking

  1. Are you insured and bonded, and can I see the certificate?
  2. Do you send the same cleaner each time?
  3. What is included in a standard clean, in writing?
  4. Do you bring supplies, and can I request specific products?
  5. What is the cancellation and rescheduling policy?

Frequently asked questions

Should a house cleaner in Sherbrooke be insured?

Yes. Liability insurance covers damage and bonding covers theft; a company should provide both on request. A cleaner without them leaves you paying for accidents in your own home.

Do I become an employer if I hire a cleaner directly?

In Quebec you can, if you set the hours and supply the work regularly, which brings payroll and CNESST obligations. Hiring through a company avoids that.

What is the difference between a deep clean and a regular clean?

A deep clean covers baseboards, inside appliances, grout, light fixtures and other areas a maintenance visit skips. Most companies require one before starting a recurring schedule.

How do I compare cleaning quotes in Sherbrooke?

Compare the written checklist, the number of cleaner-hours, and the insurance, not just the price. Two quotes for the same home can differ by an hour of work, which explains most price gaps.
