How can you make sure your commercial property is prepared for fall and winter? Here are a few key tips.
In many parts of the country — especially the Mid-Atlantic — temperatures are slowly beginning to cool down, and leaves are starting to fall anytime now. Indeed, fall is just around the corner. And for property managers, it can be hard to keep the landscape well-maintained and looking gorgeous for visitors and residents alike. However, property managers can take advantage of a few key tips and tricks when it comes to ensuring the property is clean and attractive for current and prospective residents alike. Here are a few property management tips for fall that every property manager needs to know about when it comes to getting ready for the fall season.
Cleaning The Roof And Gutters
While cleaning the gutters isn’t always the most fun job, it is a necessity. Getting a professional to clean all the gutters on your property at least once a year is extremely beneficial for preventing stopped-up gutters from causing floods around your building’s foundation. If you are doing it yourself, a leaf blower is an excellent way to tackle two jobs at once. Leaf blowers are great to use for gutter cleanings and to remove any leaves that have already started falling on the property from all the trees. Ultimately, ensuring you have all the proper tools needed to clean the property’s roof and gutters along with other cleaning tools can make a world of a difference for your property in general.
Trim Any Overhanging Branches
Unfortunately, in our area, ice storms can happen; some property management tips for fall ensure a safe winter season. In the rare event of an ice storm in Maryland, iced-over branches can be incredibly dangerous and harmful to any structure or property. These iced-over branches can end up just collapsing on any part of the property. Ultimately, getting ahead of the disaster by trimming trees beforehand is your best course of action.
Bottom Line
At the end of the day, there is nothing worse than not being prepared for the upcoming season as a property manager. In fact, taking the time to ensure your properties are all ready for the upcoming season can allow you to attract new tenants while ensuring current residents are happy with their accommodations.
