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.
