Quality windows boost the value of a property, improve energy efficiency, and keep your Moorhead residents cozy and happy. Windows add beauty and character to a home too, all while providing the basic functionality of indoor climate control. However, windows require maintenance just like any other part of a home.
As a rental property owner, you need to make it a point to regularly examine the windows of your rental properties for gaps, cracks, water damage, and other issues as part of your complete property maintenance plan. Basic window maintenance that should be routinely performed involves sealing gaps and changing the weather-stripping. If the windows in your Moorhead rental property are broken, seep moisture, or trap condensation, they have to be replaced.
Though it might be tempting, asking residents to perform repairs, maintenance, or replacement of a rental property’s windows is not a good idea. Even if they have the right skills, asking residents to do repairs leads to liability issues that can result in bigger problems in the future. There is also no assurance that the maintenance or repair your windows need will be done right. Remember that neglected windows can cause pricier property damage further down the road.
Repairing and replacing windows by yourself may seem like another good choice, particularly if you are trying to save money. The problem is that even if you know what you are doing, you put yourself in danger when you work with a potentially hazardous material such as glass. Furthermore, the proper installation of windows is crucial for their 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 hard. That’s why Real Property Management Optimum offers maintenance programs that will handle these tasks for you. From routine maintenance to window replacement, we can take care of all of your Moorhead rental property’s window-related needs and make sure that the job is done properly.
