FAQs

Straight answers to the questions that matter most.

When should post-construction cleaning happen?

Post-construction cleaning is typically scheduled once the major construction work is complete and the space is ready for final cleaning. DCI can work with your project team to determine the appropriate timing based on the project schedule.

Can DCI clean a large construction project?

Yes. DCI has the staff, equipment, and experience to handle large commercial construction and renovation projects, including detailed interior and window cleaning.

Can DCI increase or change our cleaning services if our needs change?

Yes. Your facility's needs can change over time. DCI can review your existing service plan and adjust the frequency, scope, or specialized services when appropriate.

Can DCI provide references for similar facilities?

Yes. DCI works with commercial, institutional, government, healthcare, retail and construction clients throughout Nova Scotia. References for comparable facilities can be provided upon request.

What geographic areas does DCI Cleaning service?

DCI provides commercial cleaning services throughout Cape Breton, Sydney, Antigonish, New Glasgow, and communities across Mainland Nova Scotia. Our service area is focused on commercial and institutional facilities throughout these regions.

What types and sizes of commercial facilities can DCI service?

We work with a wide range of commercial and institutional facilities, including retail stores, offices, healthcare facilities, government buildings, airports, construction projects and large commercial spaces.

With over 150+ staff, across our client portfolio, DCI currently services more than 1.5million square feet of commercial space. Our size allows us to handle significant square footage while maintaining local oversight and accountability.

How do I get a quote for commercial cleaning?

Start by contacting DCI to discuss your facility and cleaning needs. We’ll arrange a site visit, assess the space, determine the appropriate services and schedule, and build a customized quote for your facility.

How does DCI determine the cost of cleaning?

Pricing depends on factors such as square footage, facility type, frequency of service, floor conditions, and the specific services required. For specialized services, we assess the condition of the space before recommending the appropriate approach.

Is DCI bonded and insured?

Yes. DCI is a bonded and insured commercial cleaning company with established safety and quality-control processes.

Is DCI safety certified?

Yes. DCI maintains HSE safety certifications and formal safety processes, which are particularly important when working with government, construction, and other organizations with strict safety requirements. We also conduct annual safety inspections across our worksites and crews, helping ensure safety remains an active part of our operations rather than an afterthought.

In 2023, DCI was proud to receive the WCB Safety Certification Leadership in Safety Award. The same high standards and commitment to safety that earned us that recognition remain firmly in place today.
