As the owner of a rental property, you should make it a habit to check the windows of your rental properties. Look for cracks, gaps, water damage, and other problems. This habit 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. Windows in your Mt. Vernon rental property that is broken, seep moisture, or trap condensation, need to be changed.
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 correct skills, asking residents to execute repairs creates liability problems. These problems may eventually become bigger and more difficult to deal with. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the maintenance or repair your windows need would be executed correctly. Keep in mind that neglected windows can lead to more costly property damage further down the road.
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. Moreover, installing windows properly is important for long-term effectiveness and function. Because of this, things like replacing glass panes or even entire windows should be done by professionals.
Remembering to perform routine window maintenance along with everything else you already have to do can be difficult. That’s why Real Property Management Results offers maintenance programs that will handle these tasks for you.
