Spring Maintenance Checklist

Spring is a great time to tackle outdoor maintenance projects. Your property takes a beating during the winter months due to storms, snow, ice, and salt. Now is the time to go outside and give your property the care it needs by following the tips below. At My Property Man, our property management services include seasonal maintenance planning to keep your investment in top shape year-round.

Air Conditioning

Before turning on your AC, replace the filters and clean the vents to ensure your unit is ready for the warm season. Dirty filters shorten the life of your system and increase electricity and repair bills. For rental and condo communities, our rental property management and condo property management teams can schedule routine HVAC maintenance so tenants stay comfortable and owners avoid costly surprises.

Clean Gutters and Downspouts

After winter, it’s important to clear gutters of debris and ensure they’re cleaned thoroughly. Clogged gutters can damage the roof, eaves, and exterior of the property. Properly installed downspouts also divert water away from the house, keeping the foundation safe.

Reseal Exterior Woodwork – Doors and Windows

Ice, salt, and winter storms take a toll on exterior woodwork. Experts recommend resealing doors and window trims every other year to protect and preserve them. This is especially important in multi-unit properties where shared entryways see heavy use.

Inspect Exterior Stairs and Walkways

Constant freezing and thawing cause concrete and asphalt to crack. While asphalt is relatively easy to repair, concrete may require full replacement if neglected. Sealing concrete every other year will keep outdoor walkways and stairs in good condition for years to come.

Spring maintenance not only prevents costly repairs but also enhances curb appeal, tenant satisfaction, and long-term property value. Whether you own a condo building or rental units, My Property Man ensures these seasonal projects are taken care of professionally so you don’t have to manage them on your own.
