Are you ready for spring? More importantly, is your property? After months of chilly temperatures, it’s time to embrace the great outdoors once again. But spring cleaning and maintenance is a must for property managers. Even if your property didn’t experience heavy snowfall this winter, chances are good there is routine maintenance tasks in need of completing. Have you considered:

– Cleaning your gutters? Winds can cause debris to be trapped in your gutters, causing expensive backups and clogs. If any is too difficult to remove, consider calling in an expert – one wrong move could make for a costly repair.

– Power washing exteriors? It’s the perfect time of year to bust out the power washer and go to town! While your checking this task off your list, inspect exteriors for damage. Spotting chipping paint now could save you a headache later!

– Increasing your curb appeal? With sunny days and mild temperatures, now is the time to plant flowers, trees and shrubs necessary to make your property stand out in the crowd.
