We have the Work ethic Your grandparents Swear Doesn’t Exist Anymore
Providing Great Service Isn’t Complicated
At The Works, we believe great service comes down to a few simple things:
Show up when you say you will, work hard, do the job right, and care about the people you’re serving.
That’s the old-school approach your parents and grandparents swear our generation doesn’t have — and it’s the standard we hold ourselves to every day.
But we pair that work ethic with next-gen, commercial-grade equipment built specifically for Vancouver patios.
So you get the kind of results hard work and the right tools can deliver.
No shortcuts, no cut corners, just honest effort and a patio you’re proud to step onto again.

hard work & clean
are in my DNA
hard work
& clean
are in my DNA
At 13 years old (Grade 7), my first job was janitorial work at my mom’s workplace.
While most kids were outside playing after school and relaxing on weekends, I was inside emptying bins, wiping surfaces, and cleaning toilets.
But that wasn’t where I learned what real work felt like — that started much earlier.
We come from a Ukrainian heritage where “clean” wasn’t a chore; it was just how things were done.
My grandma was the kind of woman who’d come to your house and quietly start washing your walls.
My mom had us doing dishes, dusting, and vacuuming by Grade 3 — and yeah, we were taught to do the job right.
So while clean is runs in my blood, hard work is cultural for us.

The long, hard Road
Throughout my life, I’ve done some of the hardest work you can imagine.
From working in BC’s forrest industry straight out of high school to roughnecking on Alberta drilling rigs in my early twenties.
(-35°C winters and six-week stretches will put your work ethic to the test.)
To putting myself through university and even launching a startup post graduation — all while working nights and weekends to pay the bills.
And later, building multiple online businesses across lead gen, operations consulting, and marketing.
It’s been a long, hard road, and I wouldn’t change a moment of it.

“That’s the work ethic behind this company
— and why it’s called The Works.”
But Why services work?
Somewhere along the way, I noticed that great service in home services had all but disappeared.
Rushed jobs. People showing up late. Corners cut.
Nobody seemed to take pride in the work anymore — and I couldn’t stand it.
So when I couldn’t easily clean my own patio (thanks, strata) and didn’t trust hiring out, I decided to start The Works.
The goal was simple: bring back the kind of service our grandparents love bragging about — the kind where the job gets done right the first time with a smile.
Old-school work ethic, paired with next-gen, commercial-grade tools — delivering a patio you love again and service people talk about.
Yeah, we’re “just” cleaning patios. But when it’s done right, it makes all the difference.
