New WestminsterExterior Cleaning & Property Maintenance
Home. The truck loads here, on the hill above the Fraser, and works its way out from it.

The City The Truck Loads In
New Westminster is where we are based, which means it is the city we know street by street rather than by postal code — and it is also one of the harder ones to work in. The old grid runs straight down the hill to the river, so a great many properties in Queen's Park, Glenbrooke and the Brow of the Hill sit on a slope with a lane behind and tight on-street parking in front. The heritage stock is tall and timber, with original single-glazed windows and boxed gutters that do not behave like the modern equivalents.
Away from the hill the city changes again. Uptown and the Quay are towers and mid-rise strata, Sapperton mixes older houses with new density, and Queensborough is flat, newer and out on Lulu Island with the drainage that implies. Being based here mostly makes the practical things easier: we already know which streets the truck fits on, which lanes are worth backing into, and where parking is going to be a problem before the crew arrives rather than after.
What we plan for here
- A steep heritage grid — slope, lanes and tight street parking
- Original glazing, boxed gutters, tall timber elevations
- Queensborough is flat and newer; the hill is neither

Common Questions
Questions We Get Asked In New Westminster
The things people actually ask before booking here, answered the way we would answer them on the phone. If yours is not on the list, call — you will get a straight answer from someone who does the work.
No, and that is deliberate. Travel is already included in every price we quote and there is no local discount — a property in New Westminster is quoted on exactly the same basis as one in Langley or Tsawwassen, which is what the work in front of us takes. What being local actually buys you is scheduling: this is usually the easiest city in the area for us to fit a job into.
Rarely, and it is something we plan for rather than discover. Water, pressure, detergent and power all come off the truck, so it does not need to be at the kerb outside the house — hose and cord runs cover most of the hill, and a lot of these properties are easier to reach from the lane behind than from the street in front. Where a job genuinely needs a parking arrangement, that is sorted at the quote.
Yes, and on this stock the frames matter as much as the glass. Divided lights, timber sashes and old putty lines are washed by hand at a pressure that will not drive water past a failing bead, the whole opening is cleaned rather than only the pane, and anything we find — a soft sill, a cracked light, a sash that has dropped — is pointed out rather than quietly worked around.
They do. A boxed gutter is a built-in trough rather than a hung one, so it cannot be checked from the ground and a blockage backs water into the structure instead of over the lip. We clear them by hand, flush each outlet, run a flow test, and report the condition of the lining and the joints — which on an older New Westminster house is usually the more valuable half of the visit.
Yes. Mid-rise strata is routine work — common-area glass to about five storeys from a water-fed pole, parkade and walkway washing, gutter and roof work on the low-rise stock. It runs as an annual agreement with a written scope and a named schedule day, and insurance documentation goes to the council or manager on request.
