When it comes to your Killeen rental building, curb appeal is a key part of keeping them in use and financially successful. Renters want a place that shows it is taken care of and looks good too. A home in which they can feel relaxed and take pleasure in. A clean and maintained property is the key to a successful rental experience and that is why repeated window cleaning is such a crucial component of any property management plan.
Clean windows provide various benefits for property homeowners and renters alike. Designing a great first impression of the home is the most visible benefit. First impressions can make a real difference when it comes to attracting quality renters. Minor smudges and dirt may look as if it’s a small trifling thing, but potential tenants may link together dirty windows with a property owner who scrimps on property maintenance. In the end, this affects potential tenants’ decision to rent the home.
Regular window cleaning extends the life of the windows themselves. Like all of the other parts of a property, windows must be wiped and cleaned on a repeat basis. Acid rain, hard water, and oxidation are all factors that damage window panes. Regular cleaning can help keep environmental contaminants at bay and your windows sparkling for years to come.
Industry experts recommend cleaning residential windows once or twice a year. But having your tenants do this task for you is not a smart plan. Tenants may choose not to utilize the correct cleaning tools and materials, or consequently harming the windows further. They might even end up getting hurt as they try to wash 2nd story windows.
Falls involving ladders are one of the leading causes of serious household injuries. This guide to ladder safety from the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) outlines over a dozen safety guidelines for ladder use, many of which your tenant may not know or follow. The escalating liability of tenants making use of ladders to complete property maintenance tasks is not a good management practice.
