Two clocks, and neither one is yours
A Burnaby handover runs on a possession date you did not choose and a building move window the strata assigns. The clean has to fit between them. Get the order wrong — clean before the last load leaves — and you pay to do it twice. We schedule around both, so the unit is finished in the state it needs to be in on the day it changes hands.
Serving Metrotown, Brentwood, Burnaby Heights, Edmonds and the rest of Burnaby.
Leaving a rental: what gets inspected
Renters use a move-out clean to leave a unit in the state a landlord expects, and the inspection looks at places daily life stopped noticing. Inside the oven and fridge. Emptied cupboards, inside and on top. Sliding and balcony door tracks. Bathroom scale. Vents, skirting and switch plates. The reason to do it on an empty unit is that an empty unit hides nothing — from you or from the inspection.
Selling: the clean before the photographs
Owners use it before listing so the property shows well. That is a different brief from an end-of-tenancy clean: it is about how the unit reads in photographs and at an open house — glass, floors, light fixtures and the surfaces a camera picks up — rather than about satisfying a checklist. Say which one you need when booking and the emphasis changes.
Landlords, strata councils and building managers
Tenant turnover between occupancies, move-in preparation, pre-sale and open-house cleans, recurring lobby and corridor work, and post-renovation cleaning all run through the same booking. With a lot of buildings concentrated in one area, several units can be scheduled on the same day, and reporting is suitable for strata council records.
