Welcome to your guide for strata maintenance. Buildings in Metro Vancouver need constant care. Manage a strata council or a property. Handle the small repairs before they become big costs. Hire Randall the Handyman for your strata needs.

Maintain Your Common Areas

Common areas see heavy traffic. Lobbies and hallways wear down quickly. Check your walls for scuffs. Look for dents in the drywall. Use our service to keep these spaces clean. Start in the West End or Yaletown. We visit these neighborhoods often.

Fixing drywall keeps the building looking new. Patch the holes. Sand the surface. Prime the area. Paint the wall to match. This process maintains property value. It keeps residents happy. Residents notice small details.

Repair Doors and Hardware

Doors in strata buildings work hard. They open and close hundreds of times daily. Check the hinges. Inspect the door closers. Test the locks. Faulty doors are a security risk. They also cause noise complaints.

Adjust the closing speed. Tighten the screws. Replace the weather stripping. We handle these tasks in Richmond and Burnaby. Call us for commercial-grade door repairs. We ensure every entrance stays secure.

Refresh with Paint

Paint fades over time. High-traffic corners get chipped. Scuff marks appear near elevators. Schedule a refresh for your hallways. Painting brightens the space. It makes the building feel managed.

Use durable paint for common areas. Clean the surface first. Apply the tape. Roll the paint evenly. Remove the tape. We serve the Westside and South Vancouver. Small painting jobs make a big difference.

Handle Minor Plumbing and Fixtures

Leaky faucets in amenity rooms waste water. Clogged drains cause damage. Check the common area washrooms. Inspect the gym sinks. Replace old washers. Install new fixtures.

Install smart devices to save energy. Swap out old light bulbs for LEDs. Change smoke detector batteries. These small actions prevent emergencies. We provide these services in North Vancouver and West Vancouver.
