Strata cleaning & building maintenance in Vancouver

Vancouver strata buildings range from 12-unit walk-ups with one small lobby to towers with concierge desks, amenity floors and multi-level parkades. We plan common-area cleaning by zone — lobbies and elevators most often, stairwells and garbage rooms on a set rotation, parkades seasonally — and report back in a format that drops straight into a council meeting package.

Local conditions

Rain is the main maintenance driver. From fall through spring, grit and water get tracked through lobbies and elevators, entrance mats saturate, and moss and algae build up on north-facing walkways and plazas. Downtown buildings add constraints of their own — tight loading bays, little parking for service vehicles, and strict access and quiet-hour rules — so work has to be timed around building management.

Scope

What strata cleaning includes

Every Vancouver scope is written for the specific building. Most programs include:

Interior common areas

  • Lobbies, entrances and mail areas
  • Elevator cabs, doors and door tracks
  • Corridors on a floor-by-floor rotation
  • Stairwells, landings and handrails
  • Amenity rooms, lounges and gyms

Service areas and parkades

  • Garbage, recycling and organics rooms
  • Bike and storage rooms
  • Parkade entrances, elevator lobbies and stairwells
  • Scheduled parkade sweeping and washing
  • Bin wash-downs and odour control

Exterior areas and upkeep

  • Entrance glass, doors and canopies
  • Walkways, courtyards and mailbox kiosks
  • Light bulb and accessible filter changes during visits
  • Seasonal walkthroughs with a written condition report
  • Leaks, damage and hazards reported to the manager

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 Vancouver

Can you work within downtown building security and loading-bay rules?

Yes. We schedule around each building's access procedures — security sign-in, key or fob control, alarm codes and loading-bay bookings — and write those details into the scope so every crew member follows the same process.

How often should a Vancouver high-rise lobby be cleaned?

Most towers need the lobby, entrance and elevators cleaned several times a week, and daily in busy buildings or through the wet season. Hallways and stairwells can usually run weekly or biweekly. Our guide on how often to clean strata common areas breaks it down by building type.

Do you clean strata parkades in Vancouver?

Yes — see parkade cleaning. We work section by section with advance notice to residents, and we don't send contaminated wash water into storm drains, which Vancouver's Sewer and Watercourse By-law prohibits.

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.
