Strata Exterior Cleaning That Reduces Risk, Complaints, and Liability
Slippery walkways, algae buildup, and neglected exterior surfaces are more than cosmetic issues. For strata councils, they create real liability exposure, resident complaints, and ongoing maintenance headaches.
Regular exterior cleaning is one of the simplest ways to reduce slip hazards, protect common property, and demonstrate due diligence to residents and insurers.
We provide professional exterior cleaning services for strata properties in Burnaby with a focus on safety, predictability, and minimal disruption.
✓ Local ✓ Insured ✓ Quality Service ✓ Customer Satisfaction
Serving Burnaby, North Vancouver, Vancouver, New Westminster, Tri-Cities, Surrey, and Langley.
A Preventive Approach to Strata Maintenance
Rather than waiting for complaints or incidents, many councils choose seasonal or annual exterior cleaning to address high risk areas such as:
- Sidewalks, stairs, and entryways
- Parkades and drive lanes
- Common walkways and shared exterior spaces
- Building exteriors affected by algae, dirt, and buildup
Our work helps keep common areas clean, safer to walk on, and easier to manage throughout the year.

Strata Council FAQ
Do you work during quiet hours?
We schedule work around strata rules and quiet hours. We can start early to avoid peak pedestrian times, or work mid day to avoid quiet hour restrictions. All work is planned with you in advance and included in the scope.
How do you protect plants and landscaping?
We protect plants, garden beds, and landscaping before any cleaning begins. This includes pre rinse, cover materials where required, and controlled rinsing during the process. We also use surface cleaners for walkways to avoid overspray into beds.
Do you provide documentation?
Yes. Every project includes a written scope of work, before and after photos, and a completion report for council records. The report includes dates, service areas, notes on any wear or safety concerns, and recommended future frequency.
What is the cost?
We provide written estimates based on your building layout and the square footage of surfaces being cleaned. Most services are priced per zone and per square foot. We offer two pricing options: one time service and annual maintenance plans. Annual plans help strata councils plan stable budgets.
Do you guarantee results?
Yes. We guarantee visible improvement on all cleaned surfaces and removal of common build up such as algae, moss, dirt, and stains. If any areas are missed, we return to correct them at no charge. Severe staining may require repeat treatment. We will note this in the scope before work begins.
Can you remove algae on slippery sidewalks?
Yes. Our surface cleaning method removes algae and organic build up from walkways and concrete. We focus on slip hazard removal. This is one of the most common reasons strata councils hire us. We also recommend frequency based on site conditions so the hazard does not return quickly.
How long does it take?
Timing depends on the size and layout of the building or number of buildings. Most low and mid rise strata walkways, entrance areas, and common paths can be completed in one to two days. Large or complex properties may need multiple scheduled visits. We confirm the schedule and expected duration after the site walk.
Do you require access inside units?
No. Exterior cleaning is fully outside the building. We do not need access inside units for pressure washing or soft washing services. If stairwells or interior parkade entrances are included, we coordinate with the property manager in advance.
Can you work with our council for approval?
Yes. We provide a written proposal that includes clear scope, photos of problem areas, and a recommended frequency. This makes council approval easier and provides a record for future budgeting.
Do you provide seasonal maintenance?
Yes. We offer full seasonal maintenance plans for strata and commercial properties. This includes scheduled exterior cleaning in the spring, summer, and fall, and snow clearing and salting contracts during the winter months. This ensures year round safety, consistent appearance, and predictable budgeting. Seasonal plans help prevent algae and slip hazards in wet months and manage snow and ice risk during the winter. All services are documented for council records.
We already have a contractor that does exterior cleaning. Can you still provide a proposal?
Yes. Many strata councils and property managers already work with a contractor. We are happy to provide a clear written proposal that outlines our process, pricing structure, safety approach, and documentation package. This allows councils to compare based on more than price. It gives you a view of our method, photo reporting, and seasonal maintenance planning, so you can decide if we are the right fit now or in the future. There is no obligation and no disruption to your current provider. We can also quote seasonal snow clearing and salting so you see the full year support model.
Are you registered, insured, and covered by WorkSafeBC?
Yes. Eddy Property Services is a fully registered business operating in British Columbia. We carry commercial liability insurance for exterior cleaning and seasonal maintenance work, and we maintain active WorkSafeBC coverage for all job sites. Copies of our insurance certificate, WorkSafeBC status, and business registration details are provided in every proposal so councils and property managers can include them in their meeting packages and records.
