As an owner or property manager of an apartment complex, it is not just about keeping your buildings looking nice to attract new renters, but keeping the building safe for current tenants, as well as properly maintaining your investment. By scheduling regular power washing services for the exterior of your buildings you will save money in the long run… here’s how:
Benefits of Power Washing For Apartment Complex Owners
As mentioned above, establishing a power washing schedule for your apartment complex can be viewed as a short-term expense; but long term it will save you money and comes with many benefits.
Attract New Tenants
Having regular power washing and exterior cleaning services for your apartment complex will maintain maximum curb appeal for your property. If the buildings are covered in green algae and mildew, then the high caliber of tenants that you are looking for will simply look at another, cleaner property. A client will almost always view a clean apartment complex as one that is managed well and will usually choose and even pay more for an apartment that is managed well. The apartment complex market in the Piedmont Triad; especially larger cities like Greensboro and Winston Salem, is incredibly competitive.
Give yourself the edge in attracting new, high quality tenants by keeping your apartment complex property cleaned through regular power washing.
Retain Existing Tenants
The apartment market is hot. New apartment complexes are popping up every day here in the Greensboro and Piedmont Triad, NC, area. As hard as it is to attract quality tenants; you know as well as I do that it’s equally hard to keep them. Maintaining the exterior of the property is a key feature that will help retain existing tenants.
No one wants to come home to a dingy and dirty apartment building or have to battle through spider webs just to get into their front door. Nothing will turn off a tenant faster than the oppressive feeling of living in a dirty apartment. Keep your people happy by keeping their homes clean. What you’ll pay to have Carolina Wash Pros clean your apartment is still less than what you have to pay to attract new tenants.
Keep Your Tenants Safe
Maintaining your apartment complex through regular pressure and power washing is about more than just curb appeal; it’s also a primary way to keep your tenants safe. For example, when the concrete walkways get dirty, the green algae and mildew gets really slippery. If a tenant falls because of dirty, slippery walkways, you may be liable if they get hurt and decide to sue. In addition, the dander, algae, mold and debris that collects on the exterior of the building may adversely affect people’s allergies.
Increased Property Value
This is obviously the biggest reason most apartment complex owners take advantage of regularly scheduled exterior cleanings. Market conditions may not be as bad as they perhaps once were for rented properties here in the Piedmont Triad, but keeping your buildings clean and doing so on a regular basis will dramatically increase the property value compared to letting them waiver in between clean and looking neglected.
Prevent Costly Repairs
The most unexpected benefit of power washing for an apartment complex is that is prevents the need for repairs in the future. The dirt, mold, and algae that builds up on an apartment building can cause wood to rot faster and may encourage leaks to form. Keeping the roofs regularly cleaned (removing the moss and dark streaks on the shingles) will dramatically increase the lifespan of the roof on your apartment buildings. Scheduling regular maintenance and exterior cleaning through power washing will help maintain your buildings, maximizing their lifespan and preventing costly repairs.
