What is property maintenance?
Lawn care in Calgary is just one part of what we offer. Our services cover everything from routine checkups to seasonal upkeep and urgent repairs. Here are the main areas we focus on:
- Mechanical systems: heating (HVAC), ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, and electrical. All of these require regular inspections, especially during seasonal transitions.
- Exterior and roofing: checking for cracks, leaks, or damage after storms, hail, or snow. Roof inspections and gutter cleaning are musts.
- Landscaping: snow removal in winter, mowing in summer, pruning trees and shrubs, and maintaining pathways and lighting.
- Cleaning and sanitation: tidying shared spaces, taking out the trash, and disinfecting surfaces – especially important in a post-COVID world.
- Cosmetic upkeep: painting walls, fixing flooring, replacing windows and doors.
Property management: overseeing the building’s condition, maintaining records, coordinating with tenants, and handling contracts and service calls.
Why is Property Maintenance so Important?
Let’s face it – we tend to judge by appearance. A property that looks neglected isn’t appealing. It’s likely to be ignored, and you may need to lower the rent just to keep some cash flowing. On the other hand, a well-kept exterior, a manicured lawn in the summer, and cleared walkways in the winter can dramatically increase your property’s appeal to tenants and clients.
Safety is also a major factor. Slippery walkways or faulty wiring can pose serious risks. Without regular, proactive maintenance, these issues could become more than just costly – they could become tragic.
Unique Aspects of Yard and Lawn Maintenance in Calgary
The local climate presents specific challenges when it comes to yard and lawn care. With long, cold winters, frequent temperature fluctuations, and significant snowfall, property owners need to stay proactive throughout the year to protect and maintain outdoor spaces.
Regular Snow Clearing: This isn’t just about convenience – it’s a legal requirement. Snow must be removed from sidewalks within 24 hours after a snowfall ends. Delays can result in fines and increase the risk of accidents.
Winter Preparation: Maintenance during the colder months includes turning on heating systems for any outdoor structures, sealing windows and doors to prevent drafts, and insulating pipes to avoid freezing and costly damage.
Spring Checkups: After the snow melts, it’s important to inspect for winter-related damage. This includes clearing out drainage systems, assessing turf and garden beds, and preparing landscaping for the rainy season. Reseeding and fertilizing also help rejuvenate lawns.
Summer Lawn Care: The warmer months often bring dry conditions, so regular watering, mowing, and weed control are essential. Aerating and feeding the lawn can keep grass healthy and green despite the heat.
Autumn Clean-Up: As the seasons change, tasks like leaf removal, pruning trees and shrubs, and clearing gutters become crucial. Applying winter fertilizer helps strengthen lawns ahead of the next freeze.
In today’s competitive real estate market, the visual appeal and functionality of a property’s outdoor space are more important than ever. A well-maintained yard not only creates a strong first impression but also helps protect property value year-round.
