My name is Morris Bouman, and I have owned and operated Bouman Property Maintenance for the last 10 years. Now based in beautiful Qualicum Beach. We started this service because we recognized a need in the community—many snowbirds heading south for the winter don’t want to burden friends or neighbors with the responsibility of checking their homes. People are often thrilled to hear about our service, as it offers peace of mind while they’re away.

Catherine and I love raising our three daughters here and enjoy everything the Oceanside area offers. In addition to running the businesses, I’ve spent time volunteering with the local fire department and Arrowsmith Search and Rescue, giving back to the community we cherish. Catherine also works part-time as a registered nurse with the Vancouver Island Health Authority while assisting with the operations of our home watch business.
