In Calgary’s fast-growing housing and short-term rental market, MaidNation is raising the bar for professional cleaning. Founded and led by Nico, the company specializes in residential, deep, move-in/move-out, and Airbnb turnover services, combining structured systems with a personal, client-first approach. With transparent pricing, trained and background-checked cleaners, and a focus on consistency, MaidNation delivers dependable, high-quality cleaning that homeowners and property managers can trust.
What is your business called and what does it do?
MaidNation is a Calgary-based residential and short-term rental cleaning company. We specialize in house cleaning, deep cleaning, move-in/move-out services, and Airbnb/short-term rental turnovers, with a focus on reliability, transparency, and professional standards.
What made you want to do this work?
I started MaidNation after noticing how inconsistent and impersonal the cleaning industry could be. Many homeowners struggled to find a service they could truly trust. I wanted to build a company that combined professional systems with a personal touch, where clients feel confident letting us into their homes and know the job will be done right every time.
What problem did you want to solve with the business?
Clients choose MaidNation because we’re dependable, transparent, and detail-oriented. Our cleaners are background-checked, insured, and trained to follow consistent checklists. We also make booking easy with instant online quotes and clear pricing. No surprises, no long-term contracts, just quality service.
Who are your clientele/demographics?
Our clients are primarily homeowners, condo residents, busy professionals, families, seniors, and property managers across Calgary. We also work closely with Airbnb hosts, landlords, and real estate professionals who need reliable, detail-oriented cleaning. Most of our customers value convenience, consistency, and trust, and are looking for a professional service they can rely on long-term rather than one-off cleanings.
How does your business make money? How does it work?
MaidNation operates as a professional cleaning service that charges per booking based on the size of the home, type of service, and level of detail required. Clients can get an instant quote online and book services such as recurring home cleaning, deep cleaning, move-in/move-out cleaning, or short-term rental cleaning. We focus on transparent pricing, efficient scheduling, and quality control to ensure customers receive consistent results every time.
Where in the city can we find your profession?
We serve residential and rental properties throughout Calgary, including downtown condos, suburban family homes, and short-term rental properties across all major neighbourhoods. Our work takes us into communities throughout the city, from inner-city areas to newer developments, wherever homeowners and property managers need dependable, professional cleaning services.
What is the best question a prospective customer could ask a member of your profession when comparing services? Give the answer as well.
Question: How do you ensure consistent quality and trust in every clean?
Answer: Consistency comes from systems, not luck. At MaidNation, every cleaner is background-checked, insured, and trained to follow detailed checklists tailored to each home. We also actively collect feedback after each visit and stand behind our work. If something isn’t right, we fix it. That accountability is what turns first-time clients into long-term customers.
What is the best part about what you do? What is the worst part?
Best part: Seeing the immediate impact our work has on people’s lives. A clean home reduces stress, saves time, and gives families peace of mind. It’s rewarding to know we’re helping people reclaim their time.
Worst part: The unpredictability of the job. Every home is different, and last-minute changes can happen. But that challenge also pushes us to be adaptable, responsive, and better organized than the average cleaning company.
What is your favourite joke about your own profession?
We’re the only people who get paid to clean and then get blamed when someone makes a mess five minutes later.
