Great windows enhance energy efficiency, add to the value of a property, and keep your Livermore residents happy and snug. Also, windows add beauty and character to a home, all while offering the basic functionality of indoor climate control. Still, windows need maintenance just like any other part of a home.
As a rental property owner, you need to regularly examine the windows of your rental properties. Check for water damage, cracks, gaps, and other issues. This routine examination should be part of your comprehensive property maintenance plan. The basic window maintenance that should be routinely performed involves sealing gaps and changing the weather-stripping. If any of the windows in your Livermore rental property seep moisture, trap condensation, or are broken, they should be replaced.
It is not a good plan to ask residents to perform maintenance, repairs, or replacement of a rental property’s windows, no matter how appealing it may be. Even if they have the skills for it, requesting residents to perform repairs bring about liability issues. These issues could lead to greater problems down the road. Also, there is no guarantee that the maintenance or repair your windows require is going to be done right. Keep in mind that neglected windows can cause more costly property damage in the future.
Repairing and replacing windows by yourself may appear like another good choice, especially if you are trying to save some money. The problem is that even if you know what you are doing, you put yourself in danger when you deal with a potentially hazardous material like glass. Also, the correct installation of windows is vital for long-term effectiveness and function. For these reasons, tasks like replacing glass panes or even entire windows should be done by the professionals.
Remembering to do regular window maintenance along with everything else you already have to do can be difficult. That’s why Real Property Management One offers maintenance programs that will take care of all these tasks for you.
