Greenhills is a commercial and residential neighbourhood in San Juan. It is known for its shopping centre, and the streets around it have older houses, subdivisions and apartments. It sits close to the Mandaluyong boundary and to Ortigas Center, so a visit can start in one area and end in another.
Homes here mix older houses in subdivisions, townhouses and condominium buildings near the main roads. Work is shaped by village and building access, narrow side streets and traffic on the main roads. This page covers access, housing, parking, common services and typical prices. The figures are estimates from published price lists, not Taskly quotes.
Access and building rules
Subdivisions in Greenhills and on the neighbouring streets commonly have a guard post that asks for a valid ID and the homeowner's name and address. Some require a pass, or a call to the homeowner, before the guard opens the gate. Condominium buildings nearby follow the usual pattern: a visitor or contractor pass arranged by the owner or the admin, and a check of the building's work hours.
Work hours and noise rules differ by building and by subdivision. Many commonly limit drilling and hammering to daytime, and some restrict them on Sundays and holidays. Work on a shared wall, a ceiling or a common drain can need approval from the association. Ask the homeowner for the house rules before the first visit, and share them with the tasker.
Typical housing
Greenhills has a mix of housing. The older subdivisions have detached houses, often on smaller lots than in Alabang. The outdoor aircon condensers are often on a side wall, beside the gate or in a small yard. Apartments and townhouses sit on the smaller streets, and condominium units are found along the main roads and near the shopping centre.
Houses that have been renovated may have newer wiring and plumbing, while older ones may need a check before extra work. If a job involves the electrical panel, a water pump or a roof tank, ask the tasker to confirm the scope and whether a licensed electrician or plumber is needed for the repair.
Parking and truck access
Street parking on the smaller streets is tight, and many houses have room for only one car. A van for a deep clean or a repair may need to park on the main road and carry tools in. Ask the homeowner for the nearest legal spot, and tell the tasker how far the walk from it is. For a truck, confirm the gate width, the turning space and any loading restrictions on the street.
The main roads near the shopping centre are busy, and traffic can slow a trip at peak hours. Ask the tasker how far they travel, and set a start time that allows for it. Avoid loading on the main road during busy hours. Use the side street or the subdivision entrance if the guard allows it.
Common services and typical prices
Aircon cleaning is the most common booking in Greenhills homes and condominiums. A basic indoor clean of a split unit is about ₱500 to ₱800, a full clean including the outdoor unit is about ₱800 to ₱1,500, and a chemical deep clean is about ₱1,200 to ₱2,500, based on the aircon.ph price guide. Confirm whether the outdoor unit is in the quote, and where the condenser sits.
Our sourced deep-clean estimates are about ₱1,500 to ₱3,000 for a studio and ₱2,200 to ₱5,400 for a one-bedroom. Larger houses fall outside those figures, so ask for a per-room or per-hour estimate. Agree the scope in writing before the day.
Declogging and pest control are common in older houses and in buildings with shared drains. A sink or shower declog is about ₱800 to ₱2,500, and a main drain line is about ₱2,000 to ₱8,000. Cockroach and ant treatment is an unsourced estimate of ₱1,000 to ₱2,500. Ask for the operator's FDA License to Operate for household and urban pest control, and the product list, before the visit.
