Strata cleaning & building maintenance in North Vancouver
North Shore strata councils deal with two things constantly: water and wear. We schedule exterior walkway and entrance cleaning more often through the wet months, include gutter and drain checks in fall walkthroughs, and keep lobbies and elevators ahead of the grit that comes in from wet streets and trails.

Local conditions
Heavy rainfall, steep sites and tree cover shape maintenance here. Moss and algae come back quickly on walkways and stairs, gutters and drains fill with needles and leaves, and hillside parkades collect grit and runoff. Buildings on the upper slopes also see snow and ice when the rest of the region only gets rain.

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
- 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
FAQ
Strata Cleaning in North Vancouver
Do you serve both the City and the District of North Vancouver?
Yes — Lower, Central and Upper Lonsdale in the City, and Lynn Valley, Deep Cove, Edgemont, Seymour and the rest of the District.
Why does our North Shore building need more exterior cleaning than a building in Vancouver?
The North Shore gets considerably more rain, and many sites are shaded by trees and slopes. That combination grows moss and algae on walkways and stairs faster and fills drains with debris, so exterior cleaning and drain checks need a tighter schedule, especially from October to April.
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.
