Scheduled Maintenance Choices

[Cory S.]

So what is everybody's opinion on being more proactive with your property and having scheduled services done throughout the year. 

Which ones would you do?

EXAMPLES

Fall & Spring Landscape Target Date: March/April and September/October

Your property’s landscaping will add to (or take away from) its value. Although tenants will take care of the routine lawn mowing, they will not care for the landscaping adequately. We recommend the following service twice a year: re- seed, fertilize, poison the pine islands, trim shrubs, inspect exterior of home and report any items that need attention.

Cost: $95 to $155 per season (depending on the size of the yard)

Please Note: The cost of landscaping may exceed $155. Usually this occurs during our first visit to the home when the landscaping is severely overgrown or neglected. 

Fall & Spring HVAC Service Target Date: April and October

This service can aid in early detection of costly problems and save the cost of expensive, emergency service.A/C Service Includes: Check condenser coil, adjust operating pressures, monitor safety controls and starter capabilities, clean or replace filter, adjust blower components, calibrate thermostat, measure for proper temperature differences, clean condensate drain, tighten electrical connections, measure voltage and amperage on motors, lubricate moving parts. Furnace Service Includes: Clean burners, check gas pressure, lubricate motor and bearings, calibrate fan limit controls, clean or replace filter, check wiring and connections, change belts, check pilot flame, calibrate thermostat.

Cost: $100 per system (each add system $50) 

Chimney Inspection/ Cleaning Target Date: June/July

We strongly recommend having the chimney professionally checked every year and cleaned every two or three years. This service will clean the fireplace of soot, sap buildup, bird’s nests and other combustible debris. Inspection/Cleaning the chimney will reduce the risk of chimney fires.

Cost: Inspection $150 Cleaning w/ Inspection $200 

Gutter Cleaning Target Date: January and July 

Failure to clean the gutters not only causes the gutters themselves to rust and deteriorate but it also begins to cause

problems with the roof, fascia boards and soffits. If you have trees near the house, you should invest in this service.

Cost: $125-145 per visit
