Case Study: Establishing Steadfast Industries Across the Lower Mainland
Client Overview
A startup business Steadfast Industries Home Services based in Mission, with an additional location in Maple Ridge, serving residential homeowners, commercial clients, and stratas. Specializing in services such as soft washing, pressure washing, window and gutter cleaning, the company primarily focuses on clients throughout Mission, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Burnaby, Port Moody, Vancouver, and North Delta. Steadfast has also expanded its offerings to include temporary and permanent Christmas light installation and rental services.
Their goal was to create a credible and professional presence to attract clients across these key areas of the Lower Mainland.
The Challenge
Starting a new business in the competitive cleaning and maintenance industry presented unique challenges:

- Reaching Key Markets: The company needed a strong presence to attract clients in both suburban hubs like Maple Ridge and urban centers like Vancouver.
- Streamlining Operations for Diverse Clients: Managing inquiries from a large service area required a system to handle quotes, scheduling, and invoicing efficiently.
- Generating Local Awareness: Attracting attention in neighborhoods like Pitt Meadows and Port Moody required strategic, location-based marketing.

Client Feedback
“Starting a new business requires a lot of upfront work and research, and it was a relief to rely on Maple Ridge based Steingate and their team’s deep business experience.
They helped us from the very beginning—creating a business plan, conducting market research, performing a competitive analysis, and even crafting a SWOT analysis. From there, they developed an outline for our website, a content plan, and navigation structure, and then they just ran with it.
Steingate designed several logo options for us to review, made revisions until we were fully satisfied, and delivered a polished brand identity. They didn’t stop there—they designed and built our website, wrote all the copy, and even provided images for social media, flyers, and graphics.
I can’t thank them enough for their full-service approach, taking my idea from concept all the way to the completion of my first year in business. Their expertise and dedication have been invaluable.”
— Josh, Owner of Steadfast Industries
