Why Common Area
Carpet Goes First

6–7 high-traffic zones do almost all of a building’s wearing — not the whole floor

A strata corridor does not wear evenly. Look at any building that has been carpeted for five years and you can read the traffic in the pile: a dark lane down the middle of the hallway, a darker patch where the elevator doors open, and a band of ground-in grit inside every entry door. The carpet three feet from the wall can be close to new while the lane beside it looks finished.

That pattern is why replacing common area carpet on a fixed schedule wastes money. The building is not worn out. Six or seven high-traffic zones are, and those zones still respond to hot water extraction long after a rental machine has stopped touching them. Most of what makes a lane look dead is not stain, it is soil packed down into the base of the fiber, and it comes out under enough heat and enough vacuum to lift the water back off the floor.

Entry mats are the other half of it. A mat that has never been cleaned stops holding soil and starts handing it back, so the first ten feet of your lobby gets re-dirtied by the thing installed to protect it.

Cleaning Around People
Who Live There

Floor by floor
3–6 hrs* from wand to walkable on each floor, under optimal drying conditions

A corridor is not an empty office. Somebody is coming home at four with groceries, somebody else is moving a couch in at eight in the morning, and the hallway being cleaned is the only way either of them reaches their door. The schedule matters as much as the method.

On a forty-unit building we work one floor at a time instead of opening the whole property at once, so residents always have dry carpet between the elevator and their suite. Truck-mount extraction does the lifting: the machine stays in the van, heat and vacuum hold steady down a long corridor, and recovery is strong enough that traffic lanes are typically walkable in three to six hours under optimal drying conditions*. Rotovac rotary heads go where a wand cannot pull hard enough, which on strata work is almost always the elevator lobby and the first stretch inside the front doors.

Early mornings, evenings and weekends are normal for us, and most councils pick their quietest window rather than the cheapest one. Tell us when the building would rather not see us, and we will work around it.

*Dry times are conditional. Once we finish, we recommend running fans, ceiling fans, heat, and extraction fans for the full 3–6 hour dry window.

Fraser Valley Soil,
Nine Months of Rain

Oct–Jun the rain window that sets a Fraser Valley building’s cleaning calendar

Buildings here deal with something a downtown tower does not. Farm soil blows across Abbotsford and Chilliwack through the dry months and settles as a fine grey dust that walks in on every shoe. Then it rains from October through June, and that dust turns to mud that comes through the same six feet of entryway a few hundred times a day.

A Fraser Valley strata gets dirty faster in the same handful of places, year after year. Buildings near the trails in Mission and Hope see it worst, because dog walkers come back through the lobby. Langley sits somewhere in between. None of that is a maintenance failure. It is geography, and the answer is cleaning the entry zones and traffic lanes more often than a schedule written for a drier climate would tell you to.

Chilliwack Strata Buildings We Clean

Real buildings, real addresses. Send a council or property manager straight to the one that looks like theirs.

Truck-mount hot water extraction, one floor at a time

Four floors of corridor, stairwell and entry landing, cleaned a floor at a time so residents always have a dry route to their door. Wet floor signs stay up until the lane is walkable again, typically three to six hours under optimal drying conditions.

Strata Common Areas

$0.19 to $0.25 per sq ft

Priced off the floor plan, not the room count.

Strata work is quoted on measured square footage of the common areas: corridors, lobbies, elevator landings, stairs and amenity rooms. Where a building lands in that range depends on how much of the floor is high-traffic lane, whether the carpet has been maintained or left, and how much furniture has to move on the day.

Smaller buildings and single-floor jobs come in under our minimum call-out rate, which is set by city:

  • Abbotsford & Chilliwack: $189.99 + GST
  • Agassiz, Mission, Hope, Langley: $225 + GST
  • Surrey: $350 + GST

Whichever is greater applies, the square footage rate or the minimum call-out for your city. Final numbers follow a walkthrough, because a measured plan beats a guess over the phone. Full residential and commercial rates are on our pricing page.

Strata Cleaning Questions

The things councils and property managers ask us before they book.

How much does strata carpet cleaning cost?

Common areas are quoted at $0.19 to $0.25 per square foot of measured floor. Where you land in that range depends on how much of the plan is high-traffic lane and how much furniture has to move. Smaller buildings fall under the minimum call-out rate for their city, which is $189.99 + GST in Abbotsford and Chilliwack, $225 + GST in Agassiz, Mission, Hope and Langley, and $350 + GST in Surrey.

Can you work outside business hours?

Yes. Early mornings, evenings and weekends are normal for strata work, and most councils pick the window that disturbs residents least. Tell us the hours the building would rather not see us and we will schedule around them.

How long do the corridors take to dry?

Traffic lanes are typically walkable in three to six hours under optimal drying conditions. Truck-mount extraction is what makes that possible, because the recovery vacuum pulls back far more water than a portable unit. We bring air movers for entryways and elevator lobbies where the airflow is poor, and we recommend running fans, ceiling fans, heat, and extraction fans until the carpet is dry.

Do residents have to leave their floor?

No. We work one floor at a time, and usually one side of a corridor at a time, so there is always a dry route between the elevator and every door. Nobody gets locked out of their own hallway.

Can you clean individual suites on the same visit?

Yes, and it is worth asking about. Quoting owner suites alongside the common areas saves the building a second mobilization, and owners get the same equipment that is already parked outside. Suite work is quoted separately from the strata invoice.

How far ahead should we book?

A couple of weeks is comfortable, and more than that helps in spring and fall when buildings schedule their annual clean. Urgent jobs get fitted in where the calendar allows, so it is always worth calling.

Do we have to sign a contract?

No. Most buildings book once or twice a year and simply call us back. If a council wants a standing schedule we will set one up, but nothing about the pricing depends on signing for it.

Which buildings do you serve?

Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Mission, Langley and Hope are our regular strata territory, and we also take work in Agassiz and Surrey at the call-out rates listed above. In Chilliwack that includes buildings like McIntosh Manor on McIntosh Drive and McGill Apartments at 5545 Vedder Road. If you are not sure whether your building is in range, get in touch and we will tell you straight.
