5 Tips and Advice for Maintaining a Commercial Property

5 Tips and Advice for Maintaining a Commercial Property

June 28, 2023
5 Tips for Maintaining a Commercial Property Investing in commercial real estate is often considered one of the best investments a person can make. The return on investment can be impressive for commercial properties, with the ability to collect from multiple tenants bringing the annual yield closer to 10% than the standard goal of 4% when renting private residences. With that said, owning a commercial property is definitely an active endeavor. Building owners have to pay greater attention to safety and security. In addition, low occupancy rates have the potential to cause rental yields to turn negative. To help ensure that a commercial property remains thriving, keep reading for a detailed breakdown on 5 tips for maintaining a commercial property! Make Sure That the Building Is Properly Insulated Insulation does more than improve the energy efficiency of a commercial building. It actually plays a critical role in building maintenance as well. The right insulation can help create a solid air and moisture barrier that protects the structural integrity of the building over time. There are many different areas to apply insulation in a commercial building, such as the interior walls, exterior walls, roof, and floor. Properly insulating each of these areas can help produce damage caused by leaks, pests, fire, and smoke. Spray foam insulation is a type of insulation that is often used in commercial buildings. It is either an open-cell or closed-cell foam that is applied as a liquid and then expands to fill the space. Spray foam insulation metal building options can provide excellent insulation value and can also help to seal cracks and gaps that may otherwise let destructive agents into the building envelope. Renovate to Align With Contemporary Trends Commercial building trends are constantly evolving. Modern tenants value energy efficiency, durability, and versatility in their structures. If a building becomes run down or outdated, it will be hard to attract quality tenants. Therefore, it is important to regularly renovate commercial properties in order to stay ahead of the trends. Some of the many benefits to renovating a commercial property include: It can help to attract new tenants. A well-maintained and modern building will be more appealing to potential tenants than an older, outdated building. Renovations can help to improve the energy efficiency of a building. This can lead to lower operating costs for the tenants, which can make the building more affordable. Renovations can help to improve the durability of a building. This can lead to lower maintenance costs for the landlord, which can make the building more profitable. Regular renovation can help to improve the versatility of a building. This can make it more adaptable to different types of businesses, which can make it more attractive to potential tenants. As you can see, it is important to consider renovating your commercial property on a regular basis. By staying ahead of the trends, you can attract quality tenants, improve the energy efficiency of your building, and increase the profitability of your investment. Have the Latest Fire Prevention Features On the Market Fire safety is an important component of maintaining a commercial property, as there are multiple variables that could lead to a fire. Some ways to protect a commercial property against fire include: Installing fire curtains and smoke baffles. Fire curtains are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke between rooms, while smoke baffles help to direct smoke away from people and property. Having a sprinkler system installed. Sprinkler systems are one of the most effective ways to fight fires, and they can help to save lives and property. Using fire-resistant materials in construction. Fire-resistant siding and roofing can help to slow the spread of fire, giving people more time to evacuate. Having a fire escape plan in place. Every commercial property should have a fire escape plan that is known to all employees and tenants. This plan should include designated evacuation routes and meeting places. It is important to remember that owners of retirement homes and assisted living facilities should pay extra attention to this point. Many of these residents may be more vulnerable to the effects of fire. In addition to the measures listed above, assisted living fire safety should also consider installing fire alarm systems that are specifically designed for the needs of their residents. These systems can include features such as voice evacuation and strobe lights, which can help to ensure that everyone is alerted to a fire in the event that they are unable to hear or see a traditional fire alarm. Schedule Regular Inspections Scheduling regular inspections is another crucial aspect of maintaining your property. These inspections can help you identify problems early on, before they become major (and expensive) repairs. They can also help you keep your property safe for tenants and visitors. Some issues that can be identified during an inspection include: Structural damage Roof leaks Electrical problems Plumbing issues Fire code violations Health code violations By identifying these issues early on, you can take steps to fix them before they cause further damage or injury. This can save you money in the long run and help you keep your property safe and attractive. Don’t Neglect the Exterior A well-maintained exterior can enhance the property's curb appeal, making it more attractive to potential customers or tenants. Landscaping is an important part of exterior upkeep. Regularly mowing the lawn, pruning trees and shrubs, and adding colorful flowers or plants can create a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. Concrete patio maintenance is also essential, as it can keep outdoor gathering spots from becoming rundown. Regularly sweeping and cleaning the patio, as well as sealing and repairing any cracks or chips, can help keep it looking its best. Regularly maintaining the siding and windows is also important. Cleaning the siding (typically semi-annually) can help prevent dirt and grime build-up, while sealing and repairing any cracks or chips can help protect against moisture damage. Windows should also be regularly cleaned, as dirty or foggy windows can detract from the overall appearance of the property. Stay Ahead of the Curve With These Commercial Building Maintenance Tips Owning and operating a commercial building can be a wonderful investment opportunity, but it requires regular attention to maintenance to maximize returns.

Five Projects to Add Value to Your Home

July 19, 2021
Adding value to your home doesn’t always mean redoing the basement, getting a new roof or embarking on another large – and expensive – project. You can make your house more valuable and more attractive to potential buyers in the future with small projects too! From adding ceiling fans to updating your bathroom to installing a new front door, here are our five favorite projects for making a large impact without making a large investment: Front Door: Your front door says a lot about your home and is often the first interaction guests have with your property. While a standard front door will run about $100, for a slightly larger investment, you can get something with some extra character. While installing a new door isn’t overly complicated, this is a great time to get new weather stripping, paint your trim, and freshen up your front porch. Let your local TruBlue do all the handyman work! We can also help you paint your door if that’s the direction you want to go. Bathroom Floors: While we often talk to people about future-proofing their home with a zero- or low-entry shower or adding grab bars, replacing the floor can have a big impact on the room too. Let’s face it – bathroom floors get gross and, no matter how well you clean them, they easily fall victim to daily use. Consider swapping out that 90s tile for something more modern (and less slippery!) Upgrading Cabinets: Replacing your cabinets can be an expensive project, but you don’t have to start from scratch to give your cabinets new life! Cabinets can be stained or painted – depending on what you’re starting with – and new knobs and handles can give your space a fresh look, no matter your style. While switching out pulls can be pretty easy, consider bringing in a TruBlue professional to help with painting or staining. You’ll notice those streaks every day if they aren’t done just right. Ceiling Fans: No matter what part of the country you live in, ceiling fans are a hit. From adding them to upstairs bedrooms to updating them in your dining room, having the right ceiling fans can make your home much more attractive and really add value. This isn’t a major project, but working with the electric and cutting into the ceiling is definitely something you want to consider hiring a professional to help with before you get started. Freshen Your Walls: Whether you’re someone who loves color or you’re beige and gray all the way, having fresh, clean, and repaired walls isn’t something to overlook. Drywall is easily damaged and a hassle to fix right. Let us come in, make those repairs, paint, clean up the dust, hang fresh artwork or do whatever else you’d like to give your home that “finished” feel. TruBlue technicians around the country are ready to help with your house projects, from small repairs and upgrades like these to cleaning services, handyman repairs, yard work, and more.

Selling a Home with the Help of TruBlue

March 15, 2021
When you’re selling a house – whether you’re a Realtor or a home owner – time is money. It’s important to sell a house for the best price as quickly as possible. At TruBlue Total House Care, we get it, and that’s why we offer Real Estate Cleaning and Repair Services. From before the house is listed to the closing date, we are available to make the entire process quicker and less stressful. Pre-Listing: Although it’s a seller’s market, having a house spruced up, repaired and cleaned before it hits the market can help the most interested buyers fall in love with it more quickly. At TruBlue, we partner with home owners and realtors to take care of those to-do list items that can hurt a first impression or that will obviously wind up on an inspection report. We are also happy to do our own walk-through to see if we have any suggestions on repairs or cleanings before the first potential buyers walk through. We also have a trusted network of professionals in case you should need something our team isn’t equipped to do – like have a tree removed or have an electrical box upgraded. During Showing: Whether you’re living in the home while it’s on the market or you have an empty house staged and move-in ready, keeping the house clean and the lawn perfect for showings that could happen at the drop of a hat is incredibly stressful. At TruBlue, our full-service house care management teams can help with cleaning (deep cleaning and regular cleaning), repairs as needed, lawn care and more to help you make the best first impression on every potential buyer. For Closing: The inspection period might be the most stressful time for anyone buying or selling a home. When you work with TruBlue, if you have inspection items that need handled before closing, we can help you meet the needs of the contract as quickly as possible. And, once you’re ready to move out, we can help you with that last deep clean before you hand over the keys. Also, if you have a new house picked out, we can help you with move-in cleaning and repairs too! Learn more about our Real Estate Services and request a free quote online.
