Strata cleaning & building maintenance in New Westminster

New Westminster strata corporations run from 1970s walk-ups with a single stairwell to riverfront towers with extensive amenities. Older buildings often need more frequent stairwell and carpet care; newer ones need consistent lobby, elevator and parkade programs. We scope each building on its own terms.

Local conditions

Older buildings need a lighter touch — original terrazzo and tile, vintage hardware, stairwells without modern finishes — while riverfront towers take wind-driven rain and heavy use of shared amenities. The steep hills between Downtown and Uptown also mean more grit tracked indoors through the winter.

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.

Process

How it works

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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

FAQ

Strata Cleaning in New Westminster

Can you clean heritage and older buildings without damaging original finishes?

Yes. We identify original materials — terrazzo, tile, wood trim, older brass and glass — during the walkthrough and use methods and products suited to them, avoiding harsh acids and over-wetting on older floors.

Our walk-up has carpeted hallways. How often should they be cleaned?

Vacuum at least weekly, spot-treat as needed and schedule hot-water extraction once or twice a year — more often if the entrance doesn't have good matting and the wet season brings grit inside.

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.
