Spring maintenance involves cleaning up the winter and getting ready to welcome summer. Here's a step-by -step guide to getting your properties in tip-top shape for regular maintenance.
It's crucial to inform residents of any maintenance that could affect heat or HVAC, water, electricity, or both. If you are required to perform such maintenance services, be sure to give your residents plenty of notice.
You should look for someone with the right skills and experience to match your properties’ needs and someone you can trust to independently make sound, well-thought-out decisions. The more responsibility and independence you believe a candidate can manage, the more work will be taken off your plate. This will save you money in the future by reducing your need for expensive contractors when urgent maintenance issues arise.
Information collected on property and equipment maintenance is vital for landlords who need to plan financing for future equipment repairs, appliance purchases, contractor service agreements, and replacement purchases (e.g., windows, roofing, HVAC, and plumbing fixtures). Managers need to be on top of these items.
Check your emergency plans each season. Check that you have adequate staff and the right equipment to handle any weather-related emergencies.

Not only is it important to communicate well and manage tasks, but you should also check in with residents regularly to ensure they are happy with their maintenance experience.

With residents' feedback, it is possible to get valuable insight into the performance of your vendor as well as uncover ways that you can improve your process.
