Essential Property Maintenance Tools
No matter what you’re doing, you need the right tool for the job.
There’s a joke in the property management world – we’ve heard it, too – that if you’re doing a certain type of handyman work, your tool is always going to be a screwdriver.
It speaks to the idea that so many small maintenance tasks have to do with dealing with bolts and screws on a variety of appliances and systems.
But it kind of gets at an important part of home and commercial plumbing and maintenance services – tools are important.
You often see a good technician laying out tools all over a floor. That’s so he or she can select the right one for any given step of a multistep process, and do the kinds of problem-solving that are so often needed in dealing with aging home systems.
Components and Systems
There is also the problem-solving that exists around fixing a particular malfunction that has to do with part of a system. It’s rare that a whole system malfunctions at the same time. It’s much more common to have a system where you replace a part and then things keep moving right along.
With that in mind, property owners do have to choose between replacing individual components and getting new systems. Sometimes the labor involved in maintaining aging systems is going to nickel and dime them to the point that they would rather have a whole new setup. There are a lot of factors in play and things to think about when making these decisions.
Long-Term Care
Our philosophy is that we work with our customers honestly and directly, to offer them the alternatives and allow them to choose the one that works best for them.
So instead of just saying ‘we’re going to fix this component’ or ‘we’re going to replace the system’ we’ll talk to you about how this works and figure out what’s in your best interests. We know the technical side, but the property owner has to know what their strategy is for moving forward over time.
Our customers really appreciate this honesty, too, because some firms adopt a high pressure approach. They breeze in and offer these high-priced services without giving the customer any alternative at all. It makes the person who’s paying feel stressed and undervalued.
