Quality windows increase the value of a property, keep your Belleair tenants cozy and happy, and improve energy efficiency. Windows add beauty and personality to a home too, all while offering the basic function of indoor climate control. However, windows need maintenance just like all other parts of a home.
As a rental property owner, you should regularly examine your rental properties’ windows for water damage, gaps, cracks, and other problems as part of your comprehensive property maintenance plan. Basic window maintenance should be done regularly and includes replacing the weather-stripping and sealing gaps. If any of the windows in your Belleair rental property trap condensation, seep moisture or are broken, they must be changed.
Although it may be tempting, asking tenants to do repairs, maintenance, or replacement of a rental property’s windows is not a good plan. Even if they have the right skills, asking tenants to do repairs leads to liability issues that can lead to bigger problems in the future. There is also no assurance that the maintenance or repair your windows need will be done correctly. Remember that neglected windows can cause more expensive property damage further down the road.
Though repairing and replacing windows on your own may seem like another good option, especially if you are trying to save money, you are still putting yourself in danger when you deal with a hazardous material like glass even if you know what you are doing. Also, proper installation of windows is vital for long-term function and effectiveness. Jobs such as replacing glass panes and entire windows should be done by experts.
It can be difficult to remember to perform regular window maintenance along with everything else you already have to do. That’s why Real Property Management TradeWinds offers maintenance programs that will take care of all these tasks for you.
