Like we said in our last post about our free continuing education courses, we are so excited about Spring, Summer and the onset of warmer weather. However, we know that this is a busy time for our friends who are property managers! With the summer rental season quickly ensuing, its the perfect time to check some things of that spring to-do list. Here are our suggestions:
- Schedule big maintenance: This is the time to schedule any major maintenance you need done on an entire building. For example, repairs on drainage systems or gutters. Have this taken care of now so it does not affect your summer renters.
- Check the plumbing: Although it was a mild winter for those of us in Northeast, NJ, freezing temperatures can still cause some major damage to plumbing systems and piping. Have your plumbing system inspected and any problems repaired.
-Take care of the HVAC units: Before the weather turns sweltering, make sure all air conditioners and cooling units are functioning safely and properly.
- Roofing repairs: Just in case any winter storms wreaked havoc on your roof, make sure you take a moment to check it out and have it repaired before the summer storm season hits and those problems lead to leaks and flood damage down the road.
-Fencing and gates: If your property has a fence or a gate, its posts are especially vulnerable to groundwater, which can cause them to wriggle loose and tilt when the soil around them gets wet. Check all fence posts and gating to make sure there aren't any issues and have them repaired.
