When you hire Gabriola Clean Slate, you are investing in a professional, fully protected service and supporting our local community:
Fair Living Wages: We take care of the people who take care of your home. Our team members are paid a true living wage—far above provincial minimum wage—which means lower turnover, reliable staff, and consistent quality you can trust.
Full Protection & Peace of Mind: We are fully insured, bonded, and covered under WorkSafeBC (WCB). If an accidental spill, damage, or injury occurs on your property, you are completely protected from liability—something informal or under-the-table arrangements cannot offer.

Our Pricing Process
Our Pricing Process
Fair, Customized Estimates for Every Island Home
Every property on Gabriola Island is unique—from cozy coastal cabins to expansive oceanfront residences. Rather than forcing your home into a rigid flat rate, we calculate tailored estimates based on a square-footage sliding scale that reflects the actual care your space needs.
How We Calculate Your Rate:
Square Footage Sliding Scale: We use local property records to establish your home's baseline footprint, applying a sliding scale to keep pricing fair and accurate.
Home Condition & History: A home that hasn't had a deep clean in years requires significantly more labor to tackle built-up grease, deep scrubbing, and heavy cobwebbing compared to a regularly maintained space.
Household Activity: The number of full-time residents, kids, and pets naturally influences how much wear and surface buildup a home sees, helping us gauge the time required for a thorough clean.
Transparent Flat-Rate Add-Ons: Specialty tasks like oven interiors ($65), fridge interiors ($55), or window glass and tracks ($10/pane) are added as clear, fixed fees with zero hidden surprises.
Every quote is free, non-binding, and delivered within 48 hours. All services are performed by staff earning a living wage, backed by full bonding, liability insurance, and WorkSafeBC coverage.
