WHICH OF THESE SERVICES WILL HELP YOU KEEP YOUR TENANTS HAPPY?

Z

Window cleaning

Nothing will make your tenants happier than clean windows. We recommend having them cleaned twice a year, but if it’s not in the budget, doing it at least once a year is the minimum to keep tenants in a good mood. Tip: Ask for a quote around January or February. Our calendar fills up very quickly, so it is very advantageous to be the first to apply.

Z

Installing Christmas lights

Christmas lights are one of the services that property managers do not particularly think about in the Ottawa and Gatineau region. Illuminating the main entrances of a real estate project is a sure way to put a smile on the faces of your tenants. It’s often overlooked, but it can have a big impact on the atmosphere and attract well-paying tenants to your project.

Z

Pressure washing balconies and waste areas

Nothing is more frustrating than paying expensive rent and having a disgusting trash area. Or even worse, inviting friends over for a BBQ with dirty balcony floors. Once every 2 years, we recommend pressure washing the balconies and cleaning the trash area. This will certainly be appreciated by your tenants.

WHAT SERVICES WILL SAVE YOU MONEY?

Here are the top three services that help property managers in the Ottawa and Gatineau area save money.

Z

Roof soft washing

Did you know that by cleaning your roof you can extend its lifespan by approximately 5 years? Let’s be realistic, roofs are very expensive and the more we can delay this big expense without risking water damage, the happier we are!

The problem: You see these black marks on your roof, these are colonies of mold and bacteria that are eating away at your shingles.

The solution: We can apply a low pressure algaecide to kill all these colonies and this will extend the life of your roof for a long time. It’s not a very popular service, but it’s a great way to save money.

Z

Caulking of doors and windows

Caulking your windows is also a great way to save money. By changing your caulking before it’s too late, you prevent water damage, pests and air from entering your building. These three items can be extremely expensive to repair.

We recommend having your caulking inspected every 5 years. A good sealant will last you about 15 years, but it’s not always what is used by other caulking companies.

Z

Installation of gutter guards

If your property is surrounded by trees, investing in gutter guards can be a great way to save money in the long run. Typically, they will cost you around 3 years of gutter cleaning. So, by the fourth year, you should have amortized your investment and pocketed the rest in the form of savings for years to come.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SCHEDULE YOUR PROPERTY MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENT IN OTTAWA AND GATINEAU?

In January!

Whether it’s for window cleaning or Christmas lights, getting your quotes in January will make your job much easier. The reality is that many property managers wait until the last minute to book. So if they call us in April or May, we may already be taking reservations for late summer or early fall. This causes tenant frustration and you end up scrambling to find someone who will take care of it in a timely manner.

Another reason it’s good to book in advance is that you can sometimes get off-season prices for certain services. For example, if you book caulking in the winter, we can get materials much cheaper at that time. Likewise for Christmas lights, off-season prices are worth looking at.
