About your North Hills rental home, curb appeal is vital to suitably keeping it occupied and profitable. Renters love a well-maintained and attractive home—one in which they can really feel at home and take pride. A clean and maintained property is an essential key to a successful rental experience, which is why regular window cleaning is such a significant aspect of any property management plan.
Clean windows offer several benefits for property owners and tenants alike. The most obvious benefit is making a fantastic first impression of the house. First impressions can create a hugely positive difference in attracting ideal renters. A few smudges and dirt may certainly look like it’s no big deal, but, potential tenants may connect dirty windows with an owner who cuts corners on property maintenance, negatively affecting their decision to rent the property.
Benefits of Window Cleaning
Regular window cleaning effectively prolongs the life of the windows themselves. Just the same with all of a property’s other elements, windows must be cleaned regularly. Acid rain, hard water, and oxidation are all things that can eventually damage windowpanes. Regular cleaning can help keep environmental contaminants at bay and your windows sparkling over the years.
Why Professional Window Cleaning is Safer and More Effective
Industry experts strongly suggest cleaning residential windows once or twice a year. That being said, expecting your tenants to settle this for you is not the best idea. Tenants may miss using the proper cleaning tools and materials, and, as a consequence, damaging the windows further. Or they may injure themselves making an effort to clean second story windows.
Falls involving ladders are one of the leading causes of serious household injuries. This guide to ladder safety from the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) specifies over a dozen safety guidelines for ladder use, plenty of which your tenant may not know of or follow. The increased liability of tenants using ladders to perform property maintenance tasks is not an excellent management practice.
