-- From Kelowna to Seattle, this Canadian company is expanding faster than ever, and it's not just about profit to them. It’s about planting 1 million trees.
While many businesses across Canada are facing economic uncertainty, one family-run operation is scaling at a pace not seen in decades. Evergreen Building Maintenance (EBM), a Kelowna-founded janitorial and facilities services company, is now operating in Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Toronto, and even across the border in Seattle.
Ranjit Takhar has turned a family legacy into a national success story. What began as his father’s small Kelowna-based cleaning company has grown into a thriving, multi-service enterprise under Ranjit’s leadership. Working alongside his family, he helped transform Evergreen from a handful of local contracts into a powerhouse that now provides janitorial services, property maintenance, security solutions, and supply restocking, offering clients a single, cost-efficient partner for all their building service needs.
But what really sets Evergreen apart isn’t just their growth, it’s their purpose.
“We’re not here to just clean buildings,” says Takhar. “We’re here to make an impact.”
And that impact is more than words. EBM has publicly committed to planting 1 million trees by 2035, a goal that shows its long-term commitment to sustainability, community investment, and social responsibility.
Growth Against the Odds
At a time when the news covers endless stories of closures, layoffs, and economic problems, Evergreen is bursting at the seams. Over the past five years, the company has doubled its workforce, expanded operations into five other provinces and one U.S. state, and quietly become one of the fastest-growing full-service building janitorial companies in Western Canada.
“Most people think janitorial work is about rags and chemicals,” says Takhar. “What they don’t see is the innovation, the logistics, and the discipline it takes to keep hundreds of high-traffic facilities running smoothly, especially when we’re handling everything from daily cleaning and security to emergency response and supply chain management.”
Delivering A Single, Reliable Solution For Clean, Safe, And Welcoming Workplaces
Evergreen’s comprehensive service model is a big game-changer in the building services industry. By offering janitorial cleaning, exterior maintenance, security coverage, and consumables restocking as a single package, the company eliminates the need for property managers to juggle many different vendors. And the results are lower costs, faster response times, and better accountability.
This “one-stop shop” model is proving especially attractive to large-scale clients such as commercial property groups, school districts, government buildings, healthcare facilities, and shopping centers, many of whom are under pressure to do more with less.
In spite of its national footprint, Evergreen hasn’t lost its roots. The company still hires local teams in every city it operates. It also invests in professional development, health and safety training, and long-term partnerships with Indigenous communities and suppliers who are environmentally responsible.
“We believe in building something that lasts,” says Takhar. “That means reinvesting in people, in local economies, and in the planet.”
Looking Ahead
With their 1 million trees goal in front of them and new cities being added to the map every 3 months, EBM is not slowing down. There are plans already in place to expand into eastern U.S. markets.
Evergreen’s story isn’t just a growth story. It is really a Canadian success story. Proof that even in challenging times, purpose-driven companies can thrive, expand, and make the world a little cleaner in more ways than one.
