Strata cleaning & building maintenance in Richmond
City Centre towers need lobby, elevator and amenity cleaning at a high frequency, while older townhouse complexes in Steveston, Terra Nova and Broadmoor need walkways, mailbox areas and parkades kept clean and safe in wet weather. We build one scope per complex and report by building for multi-phase developments.

Local conditions
Richmond is flat, low-lying and exposed to wind off the Strait of Georgia and the river, which carries moisture and fine grit onto glass, entrance canopies and parkade ramps. Winter storms push rain under doors and onto lobby floors, and the wet months are long, so floor care and entrance matting matter more than usual.

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 Richmond
How do you handle wet-weather slip hazards at townhouse complexes?
We keep entrances, mailbox areas and covered walkways swept and clear of debris, flag moss and algae on paths, and schedule pressure washing before and after the wet season. We also report drainage problems we notice so they can be fixed before winter.
What does common-area cleaning include for a City Centre tower?
Typically the lobby and entrance, elevators, corridors on a floor rotation, stairwells, amenity rooms and gyms, garbage and recycling rooms, and parkade entrances — with frequency set by unit count and traffic.
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.
