Preventative maintenance through scheduled property evaluations and repair servicing prevents extensive, costly damage from occurring over periods of time. Preventive maintenance works toward reducing the overall cost of your investment, as large expenditures for repairs and replacements can often be avoided by careful attention to detail. Following a thorough preventive maintenance checklist can help increase the attractiveness of your properties, boost your satisfaction and strengthen your investment.
