The Ultimate Strata Council Maintenance Calendar

Managing a strata property in Vancouver is a big responsibility. With multiple residents, shared spaces, and complex systems, it’s easy for maintenance tasks to slip through the cracks. That’s why every strata council should have a clear, year-round maintenance calendar.

Here’s a breakdown of what to focus on throughout the year:

Fall (September – November)

  • Gutter cleaning and downspout inspection.

  • Roof checks before heavy rain.

  • Fire safety inspections (extinguishers, alarms, emergency lighting).

  • Landscaping cleanup: leaf removal, pruning, drain clearing.

Winter (December – February)

  • Monitor for leaks in roofs, basements, parking lots, and common areas.

  • Clear snow/ice from walkways and parking areas.

  • Service heating systems for efficiency and safety.

  • Conduct indoor repair projects while outdoor work is limited.

Spring (March – May)

  • Pressure wash building exteriors, walkways, and parkades.

  • Begin landscaping and lawn care programs.

  • Check exterior paint, siding, and caulking.

  • Schedule annual plumbing checks to prevent leaks.

Summer (June – August)

  • Complete larger renovation projects (painting, resurfacing).

  • Inspect and service HVAC systems.

  • Refresh common areas like lobbies, gyms, and patios.

  • Plan upcoming fall maintenance before contractors get booked up.
