Strata cleaning & building maintenance in Metro Vancouver & the Fraser Valley
Common-area cleaning and routine upkeep for strata corporations — lobbies, elevators, corridors, parkades, garbage rooms, amenity spaces and walkways — with reporting built for council meetings.
Overview
Strata Cleaning & Building Maintenance
Under B.C.'s Strata Property Act, the strata corporation must repair and maintain common property and common assets. In practice, that job falls to volunteer councils and busy strata managers — and the common areas are the first thing every owner, tenant and buyer sees.
We give councils one accountable team for the recurring work: a written scope with a frequency for every zone, consistent crews who learn the building, and photo-documented condition reports that drop straight into meeting packages. We also flag wear, damage and safety issues so they're dealt with before they become bigger repairs.
Our strata work covers towers, low-rises and townhouse complexes across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Not sure how often each area should be cleaned? Start with our frequency guide for strata common areas.

Process
How it works
- 01
Site walkthrough
We walk the building with a council member or the strata manager, zone by zone, noting traffic, finishes, access and current problem areas.
- 02
Scope and frequency plan
You get a written scope listing every area and how often it's cleaned, with a fixed price — ready for council review. We can present it at a council meeting.
- 03
Onboarding
We provide insurance documents and our WorkSafeBC details, confirm keys and fobs, and agree how residents are notified about noisy or disruptive work.
- 04
Reporting and reviews
Photo-documented condition reports, a direct contact for the council or manager, and seasonal walkthroughs to adjust the plan.
Pricing
How quotes are priced
Strata cleaning is quoted as a fixed monthly price for a written scope. What drives the price:
Before tendering, use our strata cleaning contract checklist so every bid is priced against the same scope.
- Number of units, floors and common-area zones
- Visit frequency for each zone
- Amenities such as gyms, lounges, pools and guest suites
- Parkade size and how often it's cleaned
- Exterior walkways, courtyards and grounds
- Periodic work like carpet extraction and pressure washing
Local conditions
Strata Cleaning planned for each region
Choose a city for local details on its buildings, districts and conditions.
Metro Vancouver
Built around the wet season
Rain drives most strata cleaning problems in Metro Vancouver: grit in lobbies and elevators, saturated entrance mats, and moss and algae on walkways. Schedules tighten from fall to spring, with pressure washing booked before and after the wet months.
Fraser Valley
Built for valley winters and summers
Fraser Valley complexes see snow, ice and outflow winds in winter and dust and smoke in summer. Plans include fall walkthroughs of gutters, drains and walkways, extra entrance care once de-icer comes indoors, and more dusting during dry stretches.

FAQ
Strata Cleaning questions
Can you present your proposal to our strata council?
Yes. We can attend a council meeting in person or by video to walk through the scope, frequencies and reporting, and answer questions.
Do you work with our strata management company?
Yes. We take direction from whoever the council designates — the strata manager, a council member or a caretaker — and fit into the manager's existing process for access, work orders and reporting.
What do your condition reports include?
Dated photos of cleaned areas, notes on anything that changed, and issues we noticed — leaks, damage, burnt-out lights, trip hazards — so the council has a record and can act quickly.
How much notice do residents get before parkade or pressure-washing work?
We agree on a notice period with the manager or council — about a week is common for parkade cleaning — and work section by section so residents always have somewhere to park.
Can we check your WorkSafeBC status and insurance?
Yes. We provide a certificate of insurance and our WorkSafeBC account details so you can request a clearance letter. Here's why a clearance letter matters.
