Property Maintenance

Every home requires maintenance. A property foreclosed or abandoned is a prime target for vandalism
and increased expense. Keeping a property clean, mowed and maintained
projects an attitude of care, increases curb appeal, and decreases the days spent on market.

 


Winterization
The plumbing at the property may be especially vulnerable during winter months. For western North Carolina, guidelines recommend winterization for unoccupied property between the months of October through April. To prevent freeze damage, the water lines will be drained at the low point, in addition to treating the waste traps. If a house has radiant or steam heat systems, additional steps will be required.

Lawn Maintenance
To maintain the property's appearance, and prevent further degradation or invitation to vandalism, lawn maintenance includes mowing, weeding, edge trimming, sweeping of paved areas, and removal of clippings, cuttings and incidental debris. We also offer an automatic grass cut program, where we will maintain the grounds at the property according to the clients request.

Janitorial Services
Once the property is returned to market condition, we can keep it that way. We will vacuum all carpets, mop all non-carpeted floors, scrub all bath and kitchen fixtures, wipe down all counter tops, cabinets and appliances. This can be a one-time job order, or a repeating scheduled processs, upon the clients request.

Repair, Rehabilitations, Completions
We offer repairs, rehabilitation of properties, (interior and exterior painting, weatherstripping, roofing, etc) and completion of prior construction where applicable. We strive to ensure that materials and improvements are in keeping with the original architecture, while choosing cost-effective methods and material choices. All work will be performed to meet or exceed local building codes and inspections. In the cases of higher-value properties where upgraded materials or special work are warranted, we will meet with the client to discuss how best to reach the goal of enhancing the property's marketability in the given price range.
